Before whitening products, I have explained several products, including niacinamide, Arbutin, tranexamic acid, etc. Today, I will talk about the ingredient VC ethyl ether(3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid), let's learn together.
VC ethyl ether
Vitamin C is a strong reducing agent, it has antioxidant properties, lightens the color of melanin, and is a well-known whitening product. However, Vitamin C also has its shortcomings that are difficult to overcome. It is not only afraid of light, but also afraid of heat, and even more afraid of oxidation. Once exposed to oxygen, the reducing power will be completely lost. In addition, vitamin C is not all whitening effect. Only L-type vitamin C, that is, L-vitamin C, can be whitened, so vitamin C lotions, beauty serums, nutritional creams, lotions, etc. may have been oxidized before use, thus losing their value.
Therefore, in view of the limitations of vitamin C's market application, experts have improved it to make it fully effective. At present, there are two most commonly used methods. One is to make vitamin C into ester-soluble cosmetics, which not only stabilizes vitamin C It can also take advantage of the characteristics of fatty substances that are easy to penetrate into the skin, so that it can enter the skin smoothly. The second is to make vitamin C into magnesium phosphate, because after the magnesium phosphate is absorbed by the skin, it is completely decomposed by the phosphate-decomposing enzymes in the skin to play its role.
Vitamin C ethyl ether (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.
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.
Vitamin C ethyl ether is by far the best vitamin C derivative - it is not only very stable in chemical properties, it is a true non-color-changing vitamin C derivative, but it is easily decomposed by biological enzymes after entering the skin. The role of vitamin C. Therefore, vitamin C ethyl ether is a good choice for the development of whitening and freckle-removing cosmetics.
