3-O-Ethyl Ascorbyl Ether (Ethyl Ascorbic Acid ): Premium Stabilized Vitamin C Derivative for Clinical-Grade Brightening & Anti-Aging
Pharma-Grade Purity (≥99.5%) · 15× Higher Bioavailability · Multi-Industry Efficacy
Product Overview
Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (CAS 86404-04-8), also known as 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbyl Ether is a high-purity, stabilized vitamin C derivative (≥99% HPLC) engineered to overcome the limitations of traditional L-ascorbic acid. This white crystalline powder combines exceptional water solubility (>100g/L) with unparalleled stability, making it ideal for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and functional additives. As a globally trusted ingredient, our product delivers dual-action benefits: inhibiting melanogenesis and boosting collagen synthesis
VC ethyl ether is a high-purity vitamin C derivative synthesized using a patented one-step synthesis process. Vitamin C is recognized for its highly effective whitening effects and high safety, but it is highly susceptible to oxidation and poorly absorbed by the skin, resulting in low skin utilization. Compared to vitamin C, VC ethyl ether easily penetrates the stratum corneum and enters the dermis. Once in the skin, it is broken down by enzymes to activate the vitamin C's activity, increasing its utilization and achieving enhanced whitening effects
Core Applications & Benefits
Key Advantages vs. Conventional Vitamin C
Unrivaled Stability
Enhanced Skin Penetration
Triple-Action Efficacy
Product Benefits:
Inhibits tyrosinase activity, inhibits melanin formation, and reduces melanin to a colorless state, effectively whitening the skin.
VC Ethyl Ether directly participates in collagen synthesis after entering the dermis, repairing skin cell activity and increasing collagen production, thereby plumping and enhancing skin elasticity, leaving it smooth and refined.
It has excellent antioxidant properties in cosmetics, ensuring optimal utilization of VC. Compared to VC, VC Ethyl Ether is very stable and does not discolor. It truly achieves whitening and freckle removal effects.
It has potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, combating sun-induced inflammation.
Its lipophilic and hydrophilic structure allows for easy skin absorption, penetrating directly into the dermis.
It is stable and resistant to light, heat, acid, alkali, salt, and air oxidation.
Applications: Its lipophilic and hydrophilic properties make it highly suitable for formulation. It can be used in gels, serums, lotions, creams, and other skincare products for whitening, freckle removal, anti-aging, and other skincare products.
