3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid Market Application Cases

3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid Market Trends

In recent years, the global market for skin care products for whitening and freckle removal has continued to grow, and China, as a major growth pole, has a particularly significant demand for compatible and effective ingredients. According to verified market research data, the 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid market will reach US$34.15 million in 2023 and is expected to exceed US$43.45 million in 2030, with a CAGR of 3.5%. This growth is closely related to national regulatory policies - in 2024, the State Food and Drug Administration will include whitening and freckle-removing agents in its main sample, thus promoting the industry's transition to safe and effective ingredients.

Ethyl ether VC has become the first choice for whitening and freckle-removing products due to its high stability (light-resistant, heat-resistant, acid-resistant and alkali-resistant) and strong permeability (lipophilic and hydrophilic amphiphilic structure). Its mechanism of action is to inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, block melanin production from the source, and promote collagen synthesis, thus achieving the dual effect of "freckle removal + anti-aging". According to QYResearch's forecast, the global3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid market will reach about US$45 million in 2024 and increase to US$59 million in 2031, of which the Chinese market accounts for more than 44%. This trend is particularly evident in domestic specialty products. For example, Haisheng Freckle Removal Combination has obtained the National Makeup Special Certification with 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid, and clinical data show that the product's freckle removal effect is 92%.

3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid Application Examples

3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid is widely used in essences, creams, masks and other products due to its adaptability. Here are some typical examples:

Kiehl's Spot-lightening Serum:Contains 2% ethyl ether VC combined with transparent Vitamin C and salicylic acid, focusing on "gentle brightening". Clinical trials show that the pigmented area is reduced by 18% after 4 weeks of use.

Hylamide C25 Serum: With a high concentration of 25% ethyl ether VC as the core, combined with extended release technology, the antioxidant capacity is 3 times higher than the original VC, so it is suitable for intensive care of dark skin.

10% VC ALPHA-H Ethyl Ether Serum: Adds 10% 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid and the anti-inflammatory ingredient Tazaman Pepper, which has been confirmed in human trials to reduce the activity of TRPV1 receptors in sensitive skin and soothe burning sensations.

Miyuan 577 Whitening Essence: 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acidcompound, Niacinamide and glutathione, by inhibiting two transport pathways and reducing melanin, to achieve "inhibition of the origin of black + surface yellow".

Yanzhiyouli Vitamin C Antioxidant Yellow Bottle: Using the golden ratio of 15% 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid + 1% VE + 0.5% ferulic acid, taking into account both antioxidants and anti-glycation, and is called "cheap SkinCeuticals" by users.

Multiple functions

Antioxidant: The ability to capture free radicals is 3 times that of the VC prototype, which can resist the oxidative damage caused by ultraviolet rays and prevent photoaging.

Anti-aging: Promote the synthesis of type I collagen, while inhibiting the activity of MMP-1 enzyme, reducing collagen degradation. Clinically, skin elasticity improved by 23% after 8 weeks of continuous use.

Anti-inflammatory: Reduces the level of inflammatory factors such as IL-1α, reduces redness in sensitive skin, and improves barrier function.

Synergistic effect: Combined with ingredients such as niacinamide and tranexamic acid, it can improve the overall whitening effect. For example, the combination of 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid and 577 (4-butylresorcinol) has a tyrosinase activity inhibition effect that is 2.7 times higher than that of a single ingredient.

This multi-effect makes it stand out in the field of functional skin care. According to a report by Market.biz, the application of 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid in the cosmetics field accounted for more than 90% from 2020 to 2030 and showed a continuous upward trend.
