1. STABILITY: 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a stable vitamin C derivative. Unlike L-ascorbic acid, it does not oxidize quickly. However, it should still be stored in a cool, dark place.
2. REFRIGERATION: Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C. Refrigeration is recommended for long-term storage.
3. SENSITIVITY: While generally non-irritating, high concentrations (>5%) may cause skin sensitivity in some individuals. Patch test recommended.
4. FORMULATION pH: Effective at neutral pH (5.0-7.0), unlike L-ascorbic acid which requires acidic pH.
**5. PENETRATION ENHANCEMENT: The ethoxy group improves skin penetration, making it more effective at lower concentrations.
**6. SYNERGY: Works well with other antioxidants (Vitamin E, ferulic acid) for enhanced protection.
**7. SHELF LIFE: 24 months in unopened packaging. Use within 6 months after opening.
**8. AVOID CONTAMINATION: Do not introduce moisture or contaminants into the container. Use a clean, dry spatula.
9. NOT FOR INTERNAL USE: For external (cosmetic) use only. Not intended for oral consumption.
10. MSDS: Refer to Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete safety information.
