Product Description
VC Ethyl Ether is a stable, oil-soluble derivative of Vitamin C, scientifically known as ascorbic acid 2-O-alpha-glucoside in a lipid-soluble form. Its full chemical name is often 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid ether. As a powerful antioxidant, it primarily functions in skincare by inhibiting tyrosinase activity, effectively reducing melanin production to brighten skin tone and fade hyperpigmentation.
Unlike pure L-ascorbic acid, this derivative is highly stable against light and oxygen, and does not readily oxidize or discolor formulations. Its most significant advantage is exceptional lipid solubility, allowing it to easily penetrate the skin's lipid barrier for deeper, more efficient delivery of antioxidant benefits. Once absorbed, skin enzymes convert it into active Vitamin C.
Commonly found in serums, creams, and essences at concentrations typically ranging from 0.5% to 3%, it is suitable for most skin types and is particularly valued for its gentle, non-irritating nature, making it a preferred alternative to pure Vitamin C for sensitive skin. Its efficacy lies in promoting collagen synthesis and providing sustained antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.
