Where does it come from?
Tocopherol, a natural form of vitamin E, can be extracted from vegetable oils like soybean oil and modified to produce tocopheryl acetate. This form of vitamin E is preferred in formulations because it does not oxidize easily. It is produced without the use of animal-derived ingredients or genetic modification, and it is free from gluten.
