Product Description


EAA (3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid) has a structure in which the third hydroxyl group of vitamin C is replaced with an ethoxy group, improving its stability. It has a stronger antioxidant effect than conventional vitamin C, and is effective in preventing the oxidation of fatty acids in cosmetics and reducing peroxides. When added to cosmetics, it has an excellent whitening effect and also works to brighten the skin tone.
