E
Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
Brightening Effect I Antioxidant I Collagen Synthesis
Vitamin C has anti-inflammatory properties and stimulating the growth of collagen to restore the structure of skin cells, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and as a lightening agent. However, Vitamin C in its native form, L-ascorbic acid, is a highly unstable compound that is prone to degradation when exposed to light, heat, or air. This causes the vitamin C to be less effective or even ineffective and is also the reason behind discolouration of products containing vitamin C. To overcome the instability of vitamin C, scientists have developed vitamin C derivatives that are more stable and provide comparable benefits. There are different vitamin C derivatives found in products such as ascorbyl palmitate or ascorbyl glucoside. In Corpa Flora we were looking for a vitamin C derivative that is not only stable but also has a high percentage conversion rate to the original L-ascorbic acid form. Ethyl ascorbic acid is safe and non-irritating for most skin types.
Based on our research, ethyl ascorbic acid is one of the most stable among the available vitamin C derivatives, as well as highly effective with more than 80% metabolized to pure l-ascorbic acid. Unlike pure L-ascorbic acid, ethyl ascorbic acid is also both water soluble and oil soluble, which helps to increase the penetration of vitamin C into the skin. Found in : Antidote H+ hydration serum
