  • Patent number: 8022090
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition containing vitamin C. The composition according to the present invention includes cationic material and anionic material as a primary stabilizing agent of the vitamin C; and a caffeic acid derivative as a secondary stabilizing agent of the vitamin C. The caffeic acid derivative is water-soluble and, preferably, a new caffiec acid derivative as denoted by the chemical formula 1 below is used. According to the present invention, the cationic material and the anionic material generate an electrical double layer to stabilize the vitamin C primarily; water-soluble caffeic acid derivative stabilizes the vitamin C secondarily. Accordingly, the vitamin C is stabilized double so that the vitamin C is protected from being oxidized by air, heat and moisture.

  • Patent number: 7750031
    Abstract: A caffeic acid derivative can be denoted by the chemical formula 1 below. The present invention provides a caffeic acid derivative denoted by a chemical formula 1 as below and a composition containing the same. The preferable composition according to the present invention containing a caffeic acid derivative denoted as below contains a vitamins C further. And the composition can be the formulation for cosmetic material (cosmetics), medical material (medicine), foods (groceries), etc. The caffeic acid derivative according to the present invention as denoted by a chemical formula 1 is water-soluble and superior in antioxidant power so that it can stabilize the vitamins C effectively. The composition containing the caffeic acid derivative according to the present can increase whitening effect and further can prevent the skin from aging through effective activity of the vitamin C.
