3-0 Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

Ethyl Ascorbic Acid Powder is a molecule produced by modifying ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C. This modification is done to increase the molecule’s stability and enhance its transport through the skin, as pure vitamin C is easily degraded. In the body, the modifying group is removed, and vitamin C is restored to its natural form. Thus, ethyl ascorbic acid retains the benefits of vitamin C, such as antioxidant activity. Furthermore, it is even more potent in reducing skin darkening after UV exposure. It even has some additional effects, not observed in pure ascorbic acid, such as promoting nerve cell growth or reducing chemotherapy damage. Finally, the slower release also ensures that no toxic effects are observed when using this vitamin C derivative.

This vitamin C form is the most stable one which enables it to penetrate your skin’s deeper layer without causing any irritation. It is included in a wide range of cosmeceutical and cosmetic products because of its water and oil-soluble properties.

Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is one such wonder derivative of vitamin C that has gained popularity amongst skin care fanatics and experts due to its excellent benefits. What’s more, due to its promising results, this potent derivative is becoming the super ingredient of many skin care products especially face serums. Research studies confirm that serum that contains Ethyl Ascorbic Acid has incredible benefits when it comes to reversing dull skin, dark spots, and premature signs of aging
