The whitening effect of VC Ethyl Ether is well - recognized for its high efficiency and high safety. However, it is prone to oxidation, not readily absorbed by the skin, and has a relatively low true bioavailability. In comparison with vitamin C, VC Ethyl Ether can easily penetrate the stratum corneum and enter the dermis of the skin. After being decomposed into VC by enzymes, it can enhance the utilization of VC, thereby achieving a better whitening effect.

Application of Vc ethyl ether
- VC ethyl ether is a derivative of vitamin C.
- VC ethyl ether can easily penetrate the cutin layer and reach the dermis. Then, enzymes break it down and release vitamin C.
- VC ethyl ether can also effectively inhibit the formation of melanin by suppressing the activity of Cu2 + tyrosinase. It can inhibit dermatitis and improve skin color and elasticity.
- VC ethyl ether can be used in whitening or anti - aging cosmetics, such as gels, fragrances, latex, and creams.
- VC ethyl ether represents the most competitive whitening active ingredient in the 21st century.
Benefits of Vc ethyl ether
- It inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, suppresses the formation of melanin, and reduces the amount of melanin.
- VC ethyl ether directly participates in the synthesis of collagen in the dermis layer. It repairs the activity of skin cells, increases collagen content, making the skin elastic, smooth, and delicate.
- It has an excellent antioxidant effect in cosmetics. VC ether is very stable and does not change color, thus realizing the whitening effect.
- It has strong antibacterial and anti - inflammatory properties, combating inflammation caused by sunlight.
- With a lipophilic and hydrophilic structure, it is easily absorbed by the skin and can reach the dermis.
