ZLEY® VCE (CAS 86404-04-8):
Un derivato della vitamina C altamente stabile per un effetto schiarente e una protezione antiossidante

ZLEY® VCE (CAS 86404-04-8) is a highly stable derivative of Vitamin C. Through ethyl group modification at the third carbon position, it effectively prevents oxidation and ionization, resulting in significantly enhanced stability. This ingredient inhibits tyrosinase activity, blocks melanin production, and scavenges free radicals, offering both skin brightening and antioxidant benefits. Its unique molecular structure gives dual water and oil solubility, allowing it to easily penetrate the stratum corneum. Once absorbed, it is broken down by biological enzymes to release the full active form of Vitamin C.
ZLEY® is a professional supplier of this raw material, providing consistent quality, technical support, and delivery services to over 60 countries worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions About ZLEY® VCE
Q1: What are the advantages of ZLEY® VCE compared to pure Vitamin C?
ZLEY® VCE solves three major issues associated with pure Vitamin C:
① Alta stabilità: It is resistant to oxidation and discoloration.
② Delicato e a bassa irritabilità: Suitable for sensitive skin.
③ Excellent Penetration: Its dual water and oil solubility allows for better absorption into the skin.
Q2: How effective is its skin-brightening action?
At a concentration of 20.0 g/L, it demonstrates a tyrosinase inhibition rate of 88.63%. Its whitening mechanism involves: directly inhibiting tyrosinase activity, suppressing α-MSH through the Nrf2 pathway, and inducing autophagy in melanocytes to degrade melanin.
Q3: What are the optimal pH and temperature for use?
The optimal conditions for stability are pH 5.46 and a temperature of 36.3°C. pH has a significant impact on its stability, so it is recommended to incorporate a buffer system in the formulation to maintain the ideal pH. Temperature has a relatively minor effect on its stability.
