VC-EAA

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (VC-EAA) is a stabilized Vitamin C derivative optimized for cosmetic formulations. Unlike pure ascorbic acid, it maintains potency, resists oxidation, and penetrates effectively into the skin. VC-EAA brightens by reducing melanin, stimulates collagen to support firmness and elasticity, and protects against oxidative stress from UV and pollution. The result is smoother texture, fewer dark spots, and a more radiant complexion. With its superior stability, bioavailability, and proven performance, VC-EAA is a preferred choice for brightening, anti-aging, and antioxidant skincare.
