What is Ethyl Ferulate?
Ethyl ferulate is a gentle, oil-soluble derivative of ferulic acid—a natural antioxidant found in plants like rice bran, oats, and certain fruits. By attaching an ethyl group to ferulic acid, its skin absorption improves significantly, making it a powerful yet skin-friendly cosmetic ingredient.

🌸 Benefits for Women’s Skin Health & Beauty
1. Antioxidant Shield
Ethyl ferulate neutralizes damaging free radicals caused by UV rays and pollution. This helps:

Prevent premature ageing (fine lines, dullness, sagging)

Protect cellular DNA and collagen fibers

Reinforce sunscreen formulas (photo-stabilizing effect)

2. Brightening & Anti-Pigmentation
It inhibits tyrosinase—the key enzyme in melanin production—helping to:

Reduce the appearance of dark spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone

Support a more luminous, even complexion

3. Anti-Inflammatory Comfort
Ethyl ferulate soothes redness, irritation, and inflammation, making it suitable for:

Sensitive or acne-prone skin

Post-sun exposure care

4. Barrier Repair & Moisture Retention
Its lipid-friendly structure allows it to:

Integrate into the skin’s protective barrier

Reduce trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL)

Leave skin feeling soft, calm, and plump
