Core Product Advantages
1. Exceptional Stability
The ethyl modification at the C3 hydroxyl group completely solves the issues of oxidation, yellowing, and inactivation common in pure Vitamin C. It offers strong formulation compatibility and a long shelf life.
2. Efficient Transdermal Absorption
Its amphiphilic structure adapts well to the skin barrier, providing superior penetration compared to most Vitamin C derivatives and allowing it to reach the dermis to take effect.
3. Gentle & Low Irritation
Free from the acidic irritation of pure Vitamin C, it is suitable for sensitive skin and does not stain the stratum corneum.
4. Comprehensive Efficacy
Delivers multiple benefits, including whitening, anti-aging, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and collagen-boosting effects.
Major Efficacy & Applications
1. Core Efficacy
  • Whitening & Spot Fading: Inhibits tyrosinase activity, blocks melanin production, reduces existing melanin, and fades dark spots and acne marks.
  • Anti-aging & Firming: Promotes collagen synthesis, increases skin elasticity, and improves fine lines and sagging.
  • Antioxidant: Scavenges free radicals, protects against photo-aging and blue light damage, and brightens skin tone to improve dullness.
  • Anti-inflammatory & Soothing: Inhibits solar inflammation, soothes redness, and assists in barrier repair.
2. Application Areas (Cosmetics)
  • Product Types: Serums, lotions, creams, gels, masks, and toners.
  • Formulation Categories: Suitable for all types of formulations focused on whitening, anti-aging, repair, brightening, and antioxidant benefits.
  • Recommended Dosage: 0.5% – 2.0%
