3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
INCI: 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid
3-O-Ethyl ascorbic acid is a water-soluble vitamin C derivative in which the reactive hydroxyl group is protected by an ethyl group, making it dramatically more stable than pure L-ascorbic acid. It converts to ascorbic acid within the skin and retains the core benefits: antioxidant protection, collagen support, and tyrosinase inhibition for a more even skin tone. Because it is effective near neutral pH, it causes far less stinging than low-pH pure vitamin C, making it a strong choice for sensitive skin. Typical concentrations range from 1–5%. It layers safely with niacinamide and other actives and tolerates daylight, so it can be used in morning or evening routines.
