The effect of vitamin C in the Hello Papaya series
Studies confirm that ethyl vitamin C retains the ability to convert to the active form of vitamin C in the skin. As a result, it has a wide range of beneficial effects: Antioxidant effect – neutralizes free radicals, protecting skin cells from oxidative damage caused by UV radiation and environmental pollution. Stimulation of collagen synthesis – Vitamin C plays a key role in the hydroxylation of proline and lysine, which are necessary for the proper formation of collagen fibers. The ethylated form supports this process, which can improve skin elasticity and firmness. Skin lightening – by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin synthesis, it reduces discoloration and improves skin tone. Stability and skin permeability of the ingredient The main advantage of ethyl vitamin C is its stability in the presence of light, air and water, which enables its effective use in cosmetic formulations of various pH. In vitro studies have shown that thanks to the hydrophobic ethyl group, this compound penetrates the stratum corneum of the skin more easily and delivers active vitamin C to the deeper layers of the epidermis.Papaya extract
