Tocopheryl acetate, commonly known as vitamin E acetate, is a derivative of vitamin E. It is an ester of d-alpha-tocopherol and acetic acid and belongs to the group of oil-soluble vitamins known as tocopherols. This form of vitamin E is widely used for its antioxidant properties and is recognized for being more stable than regular vitamin E (tocopherol), which makes it a popular choice in both dietary supplements and cosmetic products.
Information
Tocopheryl acetate, commonly known as vitamin E acetate, is a derivative of vitamin E. It is an ester of d-alpha-tocopherol and acetic acid and belongs to the group of oil-soluble vitamins known as tocopherols. This form of vitamin E is widely used for its antioxidant properties and is recognized for being more stable than regular vitamin E (tocopherol), which makes it a popular choice in both dietary supplements and cosmetic products.
Where does it come from?
Tocopheryl acetate is synthesized from vitamin E through a chemical process that enhances its stability and shelf life. This synthetic form of vitamin E is preferred in formulations because it does not oxidize easily, making it ideal for long-term storage and use in products. It is commonly produced without the use of animal-derived ingredients or genetic modification, and it is free from gluten.
Antioxidant Protection: Tocopheryl acetate acts as a potent antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals. This helps to maintain cell health and reduce signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Skin Conditioning: It nourishes and conditions the skin, improving texture and hydration while reducing transdermal water loss.
Barrier Enhancement: Tocopheryl acetate enhances the skin's barrier function, helping to protect it from environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution.
Soothing and Healing: It accelerates wound healing, soothes irritated skin, and provides moisturizing benefits, making it a valuable ingredient in skincare.
How is it used in our products?
Tocopheryl acetate is used, for example, in F07 Anti Aging Face Cream and F18 Black Olive Face Mask from OLIVEDA. It is included for its nourishing, anti-aging, protective, and antioxidant properties. It also helps to maintain skin hydration and reduce moisture loss. It can penetrate the skin and convert to free tocopherol, where it provides its antioxidant benefits at a cellular level.
