Basic Introduction of Pure 3 Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
3-ethyl-ascorbic-acid is a kind of vitamin C derivative with white crystal color. It has no special odor and has a slightly bitter taste. It is relatively easy to dissolve in water.

This product is very stable in chemical substances, and it is also a lipophilic, hydrophilic, and amphoteric substance, so this dramatically improves the scope of application of this product, such as it is widely used daily chemistry.
Due to the amphoteric characteristics of the powder, it can easily penetrate the stratum corneum and enter the dermis layer. After entering the skin, it will be easily decomposed by biological enzymes to play its role, while ordinary vitamin C is difficult to be absorbed by the skin. The degree of availability is also shallow, so the stability of vitamin C ethyl ether is very high compared to ordinary vitamin C. Not only that, but it is also excellent in anti-oxidation, whitening, and freckle-removing effects in cosmetics. It is generally widely used in the field of cosmetics, especially in the rapid whitening course, which is mainly composed of vitamin ethyl ether, and the effect of matching tranexamic acid is even greater.
