Vitamin E Acetate
Tocopheryl Acetate
Tocopheryl Acetate is a stable derivative of Vitamin E used in skincare and cosmetic products. It is more resistant to oxidation than Tocopherol and helps protect the skin from environmental stress while improving skin conditioning and moisturisation. Unlike Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate does not provide significant antioxidant activity until enzymes in the skin convert it into active Vitamin E.
