Our VC-EAA possesses several notable characteristics. Firstly, it is virtually odorless. Its purity level exceeds 99.5%, ensuring a consistently high-quality product. Unlike other similar offerings in the market, our VC-EAA does not undergo any color changes over time, further emphasizing its superior quality.
3-o-ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a derivative of vitamin C, stands out due to its unique properties. It functions as an amphoteric and hydrophilic compound, allowing for convenient formulation and effective penetration through the skin’s protective layer, known as the cuticle. Once absorbed into the skin, it readily undergoes enzymatic decomposition, effectively releasing vitamin C and enhancing its bioavailability. In contrast, traditional vitamin C encounters difficulties in being absorbed by the skin. However, the exceptional stability demonstrated by our VC-EAA the following noteworthy attributes:
VC-EAA has the following noteworthy attributes
Tyrosinase inhibition: It effectively suppresses the activity of tyrosinase, mitigating melanin formation and promoting the skin’s whitening process. Melanin is reduced to a colorless state, resulting in visibly lighter skin.
Collagen synthesis and repair: Upon reaching the dermis, 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid actively engages in collagen synthesis and repair, thereby enhancing the activity of skin cells. This rejuvenating action contributes to increased skin elasticity, refined texture, and smoothness.
Antioxidant efficacy: In the realm of cosmetics, its antioxidant properties ensure optimal utilization of vitamin C (VC). In comparison to standard vitamin C, VC ethyl ether exhibits exceptional stability, maintaining its original color and enabling the realization of genuine skin whitening and freckle removal effects.
Potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects: The product demonstrates robust antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, effectively combating inflammation triggered by light exposure.
Enhanced skin absorption: Its lipophilic and hydrophilic structure allows for easy absorption by the skin, facilitating direct penetration into the dermis—the deeper layers of the skin where it can exert its beneficial effects.
Superior stability: The product exhibits excellent resistance to light, heat, acids, alkalis, salts, and air oxidation. This stability ensures its integrity and effectiveness over time. sets it apart from standard vitamin C products.
