Different Vitamin C Derivatives and Why We Use Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C is the ‘skin care superstar’ that is responsible for some great anti-oxidant properties. Remember those times when Mom asked you to apply Lemon Juice over your face to get rid of sunburn? Well, she was introducing you to the wonders of vitamin C. This particular Vitamin type has been known to enhance the overall appearance of the skin and also unravel a youthful layer from underneath.

Being vouched as a ‘Skin care superstar,’ most beauty experts swear by its innumerable benefits. But how well do you know your Vitamin, after all? Did you know that there are various derivatives of vitamin C, and each one is a powerhouse of skin care in itself? Mea Bloom has been successful in tapping into the potential of the vitamin C derivatives and has specially curated their products accordingly, specially the use of Ethyl Ascorbic Acid or EAA. Here is a look at the different vitamin C derivatives:

The Vitamin C Family

Let us take a look at some of the derivatives of Vitamin C and what makes each of these special for skin care:

1. L-Ascorbic Acid - The Pure Vitamin C
   This is perhaps the most potent form of Vitamin C but is highly unstable. It functions best when under low pH levels. This Vitamin C type is one of the most powerful skin brighteners and collagen boosters.
   
2. Sodium Ascorbyl phosphate-SAP
   This Vitamin C type is best recommended for acne-prone skin, as it is also gentle and water-soluble. It functions by converting into Ascorbic acid in the skin by providing antioxidant protection and skin brightening.
3. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate- MAP
   This is the most stable and non-irritating vitamin C type. It is recommended for sensitive and dry skin types, as it helps in hydration and collagen production.
4. Ascorbyl Glucoside
   This Vitamin C type is the best for all skin types as it is slower to absorb and helps in skin brightening.
5. 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid-EAA
   This is perhaps one of the most popular and significant Vitamin C derivatives out there. It is unique as it is fast-absorbing and the most stable of them all. The best part is that it does not require to be converted in to some other component and is directly active on the skin. Ethyl Ascorbic Acid works on all pH levels and also minimizes irritation risks. Also, it has great antioxidant and brightening effects on the skin.
