Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate)

Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) is an oil-compatible vitamin ingredient for lotions, creams, serums and hair masks, sourced and packaged in the USA. It has a golden to brownish yellow color and is sold in 16 oz, 32 oz and 1 gal containers, sizes that suit both growing brands and established production. If your line needs a familiar vitamin E name on the label, this is a straightforward choice.

What This Vitamin E Is

Tocopheryl acetate is a form of vitamin E. The current product text notes that it offers better stability than other forms of vitamin E, which is why it is widely chosen for products with a long shelf life. Please note one point before buying: the INCI field on the card currently reads “α-Tocopherol”, while the product name says tocopheryl acetate. These are different forms of vitamin E, so confirm the supplied identity against the batch documentation and your own specification.

Benefits for Your Products

Antioxidant label appeal

Vitamin E is one of the best-known antioxidant names in skin care and helps a product communicate care against everyday environmental stress.

Softer-feeling skin

The product text describes moisturizing properties that help skin feel softer and smoother.

Hair care support

In hair masks and scalp products, vitamin E is used for shine and to help dry hair look and feel better.

Applications

Use it in face and body lotions, creams, oil serums and nourishing hair masks. Compare it with the blended Vitamin EC Complex and Lecithin if you also want a vitamin C derivative, and browse our full vitamins category. For oil-based products, it pairs naturally with argan oil and sweet almond oil.

How to Use

Tocopheryl acetate is not water-soluble on its own. Add it to the oil phase of emulsions or blend it directly into oil-based products. A water-only product needs a suitable incorporation system and stability testing. Take the input level from the batch documentation. For more detail, read our guide Vitamin E vs Vitamin EC Complex and Lecithin.

Compatibility

The ingredient blends well with plant oils, butters and the oil phase of lotions and creams. Confirm whether your batch is tocopheryl acetate or tocopherol, since the two forms behave differently and are listed differently on a label.

Choosing a size

The 16 oz container suits trial work and small brands, the 32 oz size steady production, and the gallon larger manufacturing runs.
