3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (EAA)

CAS: 86404-04-8

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (EAA) is an ether derivative of ascorbic acid where the hydroxyl group at the C-3 position is protected by an ethyl group, delivering superior chemical stability in both aqueous and oil phases compared to L-ascorbic acid. It penetrates the stratum corneum effectively and is cleaved intracellularly to release free ascorbic acid, providing potent tyrosinase inhibition approximately twice that of kojic acid. Used at 0.5–3% in brightening formulations, it remains color-stable throughout the product's shelf life.

CAS: 129499-78-1

Ascorbyl Glucoside (AA2G) is an enzymatically synthesized conjugate of ascorbic acid and glucose, designed to overcome the notorious instability of pure L-ascorbic acid. Upon skin absorption, glucosidase enzymes cleave the glucose moiety to release bioactive free ascorbic acid directly where needed. It delivers the same brightening, collagen-stimulating, and antioxidant benefits as L-ascorbic acid at 0.5–3% without oxidation-driven discoloration or pH restrictions.
