Description |
Ascorbyl Glucoside |
A vitamin C derivative with strong stability that requires enzymatic conversion to active vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to take effect. It offers multiple benefits including antioxidant protection, brightening and spot-reducing effects, and stimulation of collagen synthesis. Mild and low-irritating, it is well-suited for long-term skincare and whitening formulations for sensitive skin. |
Alpha-Arbutin |
A high-efficacy whitening ingredient with superior tyrosinase inhibition compared to β-arbutin, offering faster skin-brightening results. It has excellent lipophilicity and strong permeability, allowing it to penetrate deep into the stratum corneum to reduce melanin production and improve uneven skin tone. Commonly used in high-concentration whitening serums and creams, it is gentle and non-irritating. |
Niacinamide |
A multifunctional skincare ingredient known for its ability to inhibit melanin transfer for brightening, regulate sebum production for oil control, stimulate collagen synthesis for anti-aging, and strengthen the skin barrier for repair. It is effective across a broad pH range, but high concentrations may cause irritation—gradual skin tolerance is recommended for optimal results. |
3-o-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid |
A lipophilic vitamin C derivative with excellent stability and high transdermal absorption efficiency. It delivers direct antioxidant and brightening effects, helping to improve dullness and reduce inflammation. Ideal for oily and sensitive skin, it is well-suited for formulations targeting high-performance antioxidant and anti-aging benefits. |
Ectoin |
Featuring anti-pollution, anti-blue light, and antioxidant properties, this small-molecule ingredient is easily absorbed and helps enhance skin hydration while protecting cells against environmental stressors. It supports the prevention of premature aging, making it ideal for urban skincare formulations focused on early-age defense and daily protection. |
Ceramide EOP |
A key lipid component of the skin barrier, structurally similar to natural ceramides found in the stratum corneum. It rapidly restores barrier function, enhances moisture retention, and alleviates dryness, sensitivity, and redness. Commonly combined with cholesterol and fatty acids to boost moisturizing and reparative effects, it is ideal for sensitive skin, dry skin, and seasonal care products, especially in autumn and winter. |
PEG-100 Stearate |
Plant-derived and highly compatible with high-electrolyte systems, this O/W emulsifier is suitable for creams, lotions, and antiperspirant sprays. |
