Key Ingredients
3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Phytic Acid, Orange Fruit Extract, Moroccan Argan Oil
Ingredients Details
3-o-ethyl Ascorbic Acid
Common Name(s): 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Loosens corneocyte adhesion in the stratum corneum, accelerating cell turnover, refining skin texture, and improving radiance.
Why It's Used: Organic acids at cosmetic ph values provide controlled keratolytic exfoliation that improves skin texture, pore appearance, and radiance without mechanical irritation.
How It Works: At appropriate ph, the acid's undissociated form penetrates the stratum corneum and dissolves the ionic bonds between corneocyte desmosomes (calcium chelation mechanism), facilitating controlled desquamation and cell renewal.
Typically Found In: Toners,exfoliants,serums,peels,cleansers
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Exfoliants
Secondary Functions: Brightening,keratolytic
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.5โ20%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or plant-derived acid; no animal components.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 2
Comedogenicity Rating: 0
Sensitivity Concerns: May cause irritation or stinging in sensitive or barrier-compromised skin at high concentrations; patch test recommended.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Conditional
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Safe within recommended ph and concentration ranges. sensitization risk increases above 10% aha. patch test recommended for sensitive skin. mildly irritating to some individuals at typical cosmetic use concentrations.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,hyaluronic acid,ceramides,vitamin c
Avoid Combining With: High concentrations on sensitive/broken skin; avoid with physical exfoliants
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Cosmetic acids function at the pka boundary: only the undissociated acid (rcooh) penetrates the stratum corneum lipid barrier, while the ionized carboxylate (rcooโป) does not. the henderson-hasselbalch equation governs the fraction of active species at formulation ph; typically 0.5โ3.0% undissociated acid provides efficacy while minimizing irritation.

Phytic Acid
Common Name(s): Inositol hexaphosphate,ip6,phytate
CAS Number: 83-86-3
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides multi-function brightening through copper chelation, antioxidant, and gentle exfoliant activity.
Why It's Used: Multi-function brightener โ phytic acid's six phosphate groups provide copper chelation for tyrosinase inhibition alongside direct antioxidant and gentle aha-like exfoliation in a natural grain-derived compound.
How It Works: Six phosphate groups provide multiple copper-chelating sites for tyrosinase active site copper removal. also chelates iron for antioxidant (fenton reaction inhibition). mild acidic ph provides gentle aha-like exfoliation. found naturally in rice bran, legumes.
Typically Found In: Natural brightening products,multi-function serums,rice-derived formulas
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ ip6 brightening chelator
Secondary Functions: Melanin inhibition,hyperpigmentation reduction
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. use with spf for maximum efficacy. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,vitamin c,alpha-arbutin,tranexamic acid,spf
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Phytic acid's hexaphosphate structure gives it six chelating sites for metal ions โ iron and copper are the primary targets. by chelating both copper (tyrosinase cofactor) and iron (fenton reaction catalyst), phytic acid simultaneously inhibits melanin synthesis and prevents oxidative damage โ a dual brightening + antioxidant mechanism from a single plant-derived molecule.
