Potentia Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

Next-Generation Vitamin C for Brighter, Healthier Skin

INCI: 3-O-ETHYL ASCORBIC ACID

Potentia Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a highly stable, oil- and water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C, designed to overcome the limitations of traditional ascorbic acid. It delivers the full skin-brightening and anti-aging benefits of Vitamin C while maintaining excellent stability, penetration, and formulation flexibility.

Through advanced ethylation technology, this derivative resists oxidation and degradation, ensuring long-lasting efficacy in cosmetic formulations. Ideal for brightening, anti-aging, and protective skincare products, it is a trusted choice for formulators seeking performance and reliability.

The Stable Vitamin C Solution

Traditional ascorbic acid (pure Vitamin C) is notoriously unstable, oxidizing quickly when exposed to light, air, and water. This instability leads to product discoloration, reduced efficacy, and formulation challenges. Potentia Ethyl Ascorbic Acid solves these problems through its unique ethylated structure, which protects the vitamin C molecule while maintaining its powerful skin benefits.

The result is a Vitamin C derivative that performs reliably from manufacturing through to the end of product shelf life, delivering consistent results that consumers can trust.
