Product Overview
Ethyl Ferulate is an ester derivative of ferulic acid, widely valued in cosmetic formulations for its powerful antioxidant, photoprotective, and skin-brightening properties. Compared to ferulic acid, Ethyl Ferulate offers improved stability and oil solubility, making it easier to incorporate into modern skincare systems.
This ingredient helps neutralize free radicals, protect skin from environmental stressors, and enhance overall skin radiance. It is commonly used in anti-aging, brightening, and UV-protective skincare products, where long-term formulation stability and efficacy are required.
Ethyl Ferulate is particularly suitable for formulations targeting oxidative stress, photoaging, uneven skin tone, and skin dullness, while providing excellent compatibility with other antioxidants.
