Vitamin C derivatives are currently the main additives in the cosmetics market. Why is that? As we all know, vitamin C is a commonly ingested component, found in fruits and vegetables, and has a whitening effect. In order to achieve better skin whitening effects, many cosmetic manufacturers and formulators purchase vitamin C derivatives to conduct research on skin whitening products.
Vitamin C derivative for skincare formulation
3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (EAA) and L-Ascorbic Acid (LAA) are frequently purchased whitening ingredients by B2B companies.
What is L-Ascorbic Acid (LAA)?
| Product Name: | Ascorbic Acid |
| CAS: | 50-81-7 |
| MF: | C6H8O6 |
| MW: | 176.12 |
| EINECS: | 200-066-2 |
| Mol File: | 50-81-7.mol |

Benefits:
1. Has antioxidant properties
2. Protects skin from melanin deposition
3. Brightens skin tone
Studies have shown that L-Ascorbic Acid is effective in inhibiting melanin production and can promote collagen production.
Applications:
Cosmetic grade L-Ascorbic Acid is used in cosmetics as a raw material in skincare products.
L-Ascorbic Acid Stability in Cosmetics
As a cosmetic raw material powder, LAA is not very stable. It is easily oxidized when exposed to sunlight, high temperatures, and air. Furthermore, it has a high pH requirement and generally poor skin absorption.
What Is 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (EAA)?
| Product Name: | 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid |
| CAS: | 86404-04-8 |
| MF: | C8H12O6 |
| MW: | 204.18 |
| EINECS: | 617-849-3 |
| Mol File: | 86404-04-8.mol |

Benefits:
1. Skin whitening ingredient, achieving skin brightening
2. Repairs damaged skin and promotes collagen production
3. Improves skin radiance
4. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
Applications:
3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid can be used as a cosmetic additive in high-end whitening cosmetics with high utilization rate.
3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid Stability in Cosmetics
3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid has high stability and is an lipophilic and hydrophilic cosmetic ingredient that easily penetrates the dermis to exert its effects, exhibiting high absorption.
How can cosmetic manufacturers select suitable Vitamin C derivative ingredients?
For companies developing highly effective anti-aging cosmetics, high-purity L-ascorbic acid powder has high bioactivity and can be added to their procurement list.
If your company wants to use Vitamin C derivative products as a primary cosmetic ingredient in its research and development, adding them to products with whitening effects such as serums, lotions, or masks, or developing products specifically for sensitive skin, 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid powder has more stable properties and better absorption, making it a suitable high-end cosmetic ingredient. Furthermore, the greater stability of cosmetic powder ingredients makes them easier to preserve during transportation, which is another advantage of bulk 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid.
FAQ
Is 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid as effective as L-Ascorbic Acid?
