3-O-Ethyl L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C Derivative)
The next-generation, stable, water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C, 3-O-Ethyl L-Ascorbic Acid, has all the skin-loving benefits of the traditional Vitamin C, without the irritation it usually comes with, its instability, and rate of quick oxidation.
This special molecule is produced by the alteration of Ascorbic Acid at the 3-OH site with an ethyl group. This formulation optimization enhances its ability to penetrate, stability in formulations and skin compatibility, and hence, makes it one of the most requested Vitamin C derivatives in high-performance skincare.
Key Benefits:
- Lightens the dull skin and shines the natural radiance
- Lightens dark spots, pigmentation and skin tone evenness
- Increases the production of collagen to lessen the fine lines and enhance elasticity
- Helps guard against environmental aggressors such as pollution, UV rays and damage caused by free radicals
- Friendly to sensitive skin, less likely to irritate skin or make it red and have an outbreak, than pure Ascorbic Acid
- Helps to stabilize the heat, light and air- so that the serum can last longer in its potent state.
Why It’s Special:
As opposed to the conventional Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), which is prone to oxidizing and deteriorating in light or the air, 3-O-Ethyl L-Ascorbic Acid stays intact until the expiration date of the product itself. Its molecular structure makes it able to enter deeply into the skin, leaving behind glowing, more toned and healthier-looking skin with no side effects of those commonly found in the same product.
Skin Compatibility:
- It can be used by anyone with any skin type, including sensitive skin and acne-prone skin
- Functions effectively during night routines and day routines
- Combines well with other active elements such as Ferulic Acid, Niacinamide, as well as Hyaluronic Acid
