Absorption Factor
Because of its own structural instability, vitamin C cannot be absorbed into the skin. Whereas, AE® VCE is a water solubl e and oi l - soluble material and can be absorbed into skin and reach the dermis
Powerful Antioxidant
Most cosmetics contain a high portion of oil and thus are oxidized easily by ultraviolet rays, high temperature and humidity. When used over their expiration dates or stored poorly, these cosmetics can cause some irritation and problems to skin. For this reason, cosmetic manufacturers generally add antioxidants to their products such as BHT, BHA and vitamin E. However, these antioxidants are oil-soluble and therefore cannot be easily metabolized in the human body. AE® VCE is an antioxidant with a powerful reduction capability that dissolves both in water and oil. It reduces oil peroxide generated with the cosmetics and prevents deterioration. AE® VCE is metabolized inside the human body in the manner of vitamin C.
Restoration of the formation and synthesis of collagen
AE® VCE reacts to the formation and synthesis of skin cells and collagen in proportion to their consumption. The level of its activation is about the same as that of Vitamin C and ester phosphate. AE® VCE restores the activities of collagen including its formation and synthesis. Also, it reduces the copper (II) ion of tyrosinase to diminish its activation and thus prevent the formation of dark spots.
Anti-inflammatory effect
AE® VCE works as a powerful anti-inflammatory when applied on the surface of skin. It suppresses the development of serotonin edema, which was proved through the test conducted on laboratory mice. In this test, the mice were first injected with serotonin and developed edema as a result. A gel containing 3% of AE® VCE was then applied to the affected body parts. A dramatic improvement was then seen in the affected areas of the mice.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Skin Care Applications
- Sun Care Applications
- Treatment Product Applications
- Uses
- Degradation prevention of food and cosmetics.
- Drug based on the radical deletion operation.
- Whitening material in cosmetics
- Applications
Because it is structurally unstable, vitamin c is limited in its application. AE® VCE dissolves in a variety of solvents including water, oil and alcohol and therefore can be mixed with any prescribed solvents. It can be applied to suspension, cream, lotion, water/oil compound lotion, lotion with solid materials, masks puffs and sheets.Also, it can be used as a material for whitening and anti-aging skin care products and the medical products that prevent and relieve the fatigue and inflammation of muscles and joints.

Safety & Health
- Safety and Stability
Vitamin C is predisposed to oxidize by such conditions as heat, air, light and metal thus to be destroyed easily.When is mixed in cosmetics, it deteriorates. AE® VCE is a product that has solved the structural instability of Vitamin C and is metabolized in the human body in the manner of vitamin C. It is safe and stable in a butter solution and the aqueous solution at 40 C for 90 days. This result was made possible in that the en-diol structure of Vitamin C became stable and was protected from the metal ions by the action of the ethoxy of the 3rd position. Thus, the cream or suspension mixed with this product is not affected by discoloration or gas.
