Vitamin E Acetate Powder — Oil-Soluble

Stable: More oxidation-resistant than free Tocopherol.

INCI: Tocopheryl Acetate

Assay (active): ≥ 98%

Appearance: White to off-white fine powder

Solubility: Oil-soluble; insoluble in water

pH use range: Not pH-dependent within cosmetic range

How to use

Phase: Oil phase or cool-down. For emulsions, pre-dissolve in a light ester (e.g., CCT) or fractionated oil, then add ≤ 60 °C; best practice is ≤ 45 °C in cool-down.

Use level: 0.2–5% total formula

Leave-on face: 0.2–1%

Body lotions/creams: 0.5–2%

Balms/oils/anhydrous: 0.5–2% (higher if working as an oil-phase antioxidant adjunct)

Processing tips: Avoid prolonged high heat. Pair with chelator (e.g., EDTA) and, if needed, a support antioxidant (e.g., rosemary extract) in high-PUFA systems.

Compatibility

Excellent with esters, oils, butters, waxes, silicones, emulsifiers, UV filters, and most botanical oils. Avoid strong oxidizers.

Storage & shelf life

Store cool, dry, and protected from light. Reseal promptly. Shelf life: see COA (typically 24 months unopened).
