What is 3 o ethyl ascorbic acid?
3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid ether is also called vitamin C ethyl ether. Because vitamin C has 4 hydroxyl groups in its structure, it cannot be directly absorbed by the skin, and is easily oxidized to cause discoloration. As a whitening agent, its use in cosmetics is limited. The vitamin C ethyl ether obtained by the alkylation of the 3-position hydroxyl group is a non-discoloring vitamin C derivative, and does not affect its biological activity, thus filling the blank of similar products in the market. Studies have shown that vitamin C ethyl ether is easily decomposed by enzymes after entering the skin to play the role of vitamin C.
3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid (VC ethyl ether) is a lipophilic and hydrophilic amphoteric vitamin C derivative, which not only retains the redox effect of vitamin C but also is very stable. It is a lipophilic and hydrophilic amphoteric substance, which not only makes it extremely convenient to use in the formula, but also makes it easy to penetrate the stratum corneum and enter the dermis layer. After entering the skin, it is easily decomposed by biological enzymes to play the role of vitamin C, thereby improving the its bioavailability.
Vitamin C ethyl ether is a very useful vitamin C derivative, it is not only chemically stable, it is a non-discoloring vitamin C derivative, but also a lipophilic, hydrophilic and amphoteric substance, which greatly expands his Scope of application, especially in daily chemical applications. 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid ether can easily enter the dermis through the stratum corneum. After it enters the body, it is very easy to be decomposed by biological enzymes in the body to exert the biological effect of vitamin C.
The application of vitamin c ethyl ether
VC ethyl ether penetrates the stratum corneum directly to the basal melanocytes, inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, inhibits the formation of melanin, and reduces melanin to colorless, thereby effectively whitening the skin. And VC ethyl ether can directly participate in the synthesis of collagen after entering the dermis to repair the activity of skin cells, increase collagen, so that the skin becomes full and elastic, making the skin delicate and smooth. 3-O-ethyl-L-ascorbic acid may be a useful stabilizer for p-hydroxyacetophenone solutions.
3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid ether (vitamin C ethyl ether) is a substance that dissolves in both oil and water, which allows the formulator to add it to the oil phase or the water phase, or at high or low temperature, so it is convenient to use, More importantly, this amphiphilicity makes it easier to penetrate the stratum corneum and enter the dermis to exert its biological effects, which other vitamin C derivatives do not have. It can block the formation of melanin by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase; it has whitening and freckle-removing effects (when 2% is added); it resists inflammation caused by sunlight, and has strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects; Skin is radiant and elastic, restores skin cell activity and promotes collagen production.
It is used in whitening and freckle removal products, anti-aging products, water preparations, gels, essences, lotions, skin creams, etc.
