Skin Whitening VCE 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid 86404-04-8

3-O-ethyl ascorbate ether cas:86404-04-8, also known as vitamin C ethyl ether. Vitamin C, due to its four hydroxyl groups in its structure, cannot be directly absorbed by the skin and is easily oxidized to cause discoloration, which limits its use as a whitening agent in cosmetics. The vitamin C ethyl ether prepared by 3-alkylation is a non color changing vitamin C derivative that does not affect its biological activity, thus filling the gap in the market for similar products. Research has shown that vitamin C ethyl ether is easily broken down by enzymes after entering the skin to exert the effects of vitamin C Vitamin C ethyl ether (VC ethyl ether) is a lipophilic and hydrophilic zwitterionic vitamin C derivative, which not only retains the redox activity of vitamin C but is also very stable. It is a non color changing vitamin C derivative, and it is also a lipophilic and hydrophilic amphiphilic substance. This not only makes it extremely convenient to use in formulations, 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 exert the effect of vitamin C, thereby improving its bioavailability.
