Vitamin C Ethyl Ether, also known as 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic Acid, is a very potent form of skin brightening superstar, vitamin c. It is the most stable form/type of vitamin c. It is an "etherified derivative of ascorbic acid," which consists of vitamin C and is of an ethyl group bound to the third carbon place.
This element makes vitamin c stable and, thus, soluble not only in water but also in oil. 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid is a unique lipophilic and hydrophilic material, easily used in cosmetic formulation. It can makes a potent collagen booster, skin brightening agent, and an excellent antioxidant.

Vitamin C Ethyl Ether features an ethyl group attached to the third carbon position. This unique etherified structure protects the active molecule against oxidation and photolysis, preventing discoloration and degradation in cosmetic products.
It is an amphipathic compound, meaning it possesses both lipophilic and hydrophilic characteristics. This dual solubility allows it to be incorporated seamlessly into both water and oil phases of cosmetic formulations.
Our material maintains a high purity of ≥98% (with premium lots reaching ≥99%), verified by HPLC testing to guarantee superior efficacy and formulation stability.
Yes, full quality and regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and customized specification sheets are available upon request.
For sample or smaller demands, we provide 1kg packaging featuring double plastic inner linings with outer aluminum foil protection. For bulk commercial orders, 10kg to 25kg standard export drums or cartons are provided.
For orders up to 100kg, express courier services (EMS, DHL, UPS, FedEx) or standard air freight provide door-to-door delivery within 3-7 days. Sea freight is available for bulk quantities exceeding 100kg.
