THE STORY OF NANOACTIV EAA
Nanoactiv EAA: The Stable, High-Performance Vitamin C for Radiant Skin
Nanoactiv EAA is a next-generation, highly stable derivative of Vitamin C. It offers strong brightening, antioxidant, and collagen-boosting benefits while being far more stable than traditional L-ascorbic acid. Widely used in premium skincare such as serums, brightening creams, anti-aging treatments, and spot-correcting formulas, it delivers visible radiance with reduced irritation.
A Stabilized Vitamin C Molecule Engineered for Deep Dermal Activity
Nanoactiv EAA is formed by ethylation of the 3-hydroxyl group of Vitamin C, creating the stable compound 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid.
This modification allows it to:
• Resist oxidation
• Remain active across broader pH ranges
• Penetrate the skin more deeply
• Convert into L-Ascorbic Acid inside the skin
TRCkem supplies high-purity (>99%) cosmetic-grade EAA suitable for advanced skincare formulations.

Formulator’s Queries, We Answered
1. What is NanoActiv EAA?
NanoActiv EAA is a next-generation, nano-formulated version of Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (EAA), a stable and potent Vitamin C derivative. Engineered using advanced nanotechnology, NanoActiv EAA offers superior skin penetration and enhanced efficacy in cosmetic and personal care applications.
2. What makes NanoActiv EAA different from standard Ethyl Ascorbic Acid?
NanoActiv EAA features ultra-fine, nano-sized particles of Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, which dramatically improves absorption into the skin. This enhanced delivery mechanism boosts its antioxidant, brightening, and collagen-stimulating benefits, even at lower concentrations.
3. Why was Ethyl Ascorbic Acid upgraded to NanoActiv EAA?
The transition to NanoActiv EAA is driven by the demand for more efficient, bioavailable, and stable ingredients in high-performance skincare. This nano-form boosts the effectiveness of Vitamin C-based products while maintaining skin safety and reducing irritation potential.
4. What are the benefits of using NanoActiv EAA in skincare?
Enhanced skin brightening and tone-evening
Improved collagen synthesis and skin elasticity
Strong antioxidant protection against environmental stressors
Reduced melanin production for hyperpigmentation control
Superior stability and longer shelf-life compared to L-Ascorbic Acid
5. Is NanoActiv EAA safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, NanoActiv EAA is well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin. The nano-encapsulation minimizes the potential for irritation commonly associated with traditional Vitamin C products.
6. In which products can NanoActiv EAA be used?
NanoActiv EAA is ideal for a variety of skincare and personal care formulations such as:
Serums and ampoules
Brightening creams and moisturizers
Anti-aging treatments
