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 makes a potent collagen booster, skin brightening agent, and an excellent antioxidant.

Vitamin C Ethyl Ether, also known as 3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic Acid, is an etherified derivative of ascorbic acid. It is currently recognized as the most stable and highly potent form of Vitamin C, soluble in both water and oil.
Unlike traditional Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) which is highly unstable and easily oxidizes to a yellow color in water, Vitamin C Ethyl Ether offers extreme stability with no yellow discoloration in finished formulas. It is also amphipathic, allowing superior skin penetration.
It acts as a powerful skin brightening superstar, a strong collagen booster, and an excellent antioxidant. It is widely used in anti-aging, whitening, and skin-tone-evening cosmetic formulations.
Our Vitamin C Ethyl Ether has a purity level of ≥99% (with standard assays ≥98%), meeting international analytical standards. COA and MSDS documentation are readily available upon request.
For smaller requirements, we offer 1kg packaging (double plastic bag + aluminum foil bag inside, box outside). For bulk quantities, we pack in 10kg, 25kg, or larger quantities inside durable drums or cartons.
We offer shipping via EMS, DHL, UPS, FedEx, Air, or Sea. Small orders (1kg-100kgs) take approximately 3-7 days via express courier or air freight. Bulk orders (over 100kgs) shipped by sea take between 10-35 days depending on the destination port.
