Main use:
Tocopheryl acetate is the product of tocopherol (vitamin E) and acetate. It is not an estrogen. It is a fat-soluble vitamin. It has antioxidant properties and stable performance. It is a yellowish or yellow transparent viscous liquid. It is almost odorless and has a gradual deep oxidized color when exposed to light. Vitamin E contains multiple functions that promote many aspects of human health and is widely used in a variety of personal care and hygiene products. Tocopheryl acetate is not only a skin conditioner but also an antioxidant. When used in cosmetic ingredients, it has a protective effect against sun damage caused by ultraviolet rays. In addition, it can also be taken in the form of vitamin supplements.
