3-O-Ethylascorbic acid

What is 3-O-Ethylascorbic acid?

3-O-Ethylascorbic acid is a very useful vitamin C derivative. It is not only chemically stable and colorfast, but also an amphoteric substance, greatly expanding its applications, especially in everyday chemicals. 3-O-Ethylascorbic acid easily penetrates the stratum corneum into the dermis. Once inside the body, it is readily broken down by enzymes, thus exerting the biological effects of vitamin C.

Feature

1. 3-O-Ethylascorbic acid, after penetrating the dermis, directly participates in collagen synthesis and repairs skin cell activity, increasing collagen production and thus making the skin plump, elastic, and smooth.

2. It inhibits tyrosinase activity, suppresses melanin formation, and reduces melanin to colorless forms, effectively whitening the skin.

3. It has antioxidant effects in cosmetics, ensuring the utilization of Vitamin C. Compared to Vitamin C, 3-O-Ethylascorbic acid is very stable and does not change color, truly achieving whitening and spot-removing effects.

4. It has both lipophilic and hydrophilic structures, making it easily absorbed by the skin and reaching the dermis.

5. It has strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, combating inflammation caused by sunlight.

6. Vitamin C and its derivatives inhibit tyrosinase activity.

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
