Property
１．Vitamin C derivative best for vitamin C-concentrated cosmetics
２．Multifaceted anti-aging care
３．Sustainable and Eco-friendly
Background
Vitamin C is known as a beauty ingredient that addresses various skin problems such as brightening, pores and acne. In recent years, as the growing trend of well-ageing and “Morning C, Evening A” routine have spread via social media and word of mouth, vitamin C-concentrated skincare products have become highly popular worldwide. However, developing such products is challenging because of vitamin C’s tendency for discolouration and odour change over time, as well as formulation instability. As a result, the amount of vitamin C often has to be limited, which can make it difficult to achieve sufficient skin benefits.
We believe that the key to maximising the benefits of high-concentration vitamin C is improving its stability, thus we developed iVC™ 3GA-green, a vitamin C derivative* combining stability, skin care benefits and sustained efficacy through our original patented technology. Because iVC™ 3GA-green has excellent stability, exhibits less discolouration over time and maintains a high residual rate (Figure 1), it is the most suitable ingredient for high-concentration vitamin C serums or cosmetics.

In terms of the skin care benefits, iVC™ 3GA-green exerts comprehensive anti-aging effects (Figure 2) through multiple mechanisms, such as anti-photoaging effect, promotion of collagen production, and inhibition of melanin synthesis. Furthermore, it is a 100% plant-derived sustainable ingredient (Figure 3) that minimises environmental burden even during the manufacturing process.

How to use iVC™ 3GA-green
iVC™ 3GA-green can be used in a wide range of formulations, including skincare, base make-up and sun care products. Its high stability makes it especially suitable for high-concentration vitamin C serums and cosmetics. Furthermore, as a sustainable vitamin C derivative, it supports next-generation skincare concepts such as “high concentrated vitamin C × 100% plant-derived” and “high-performance × ethical.”
