Product description

Vitamin E in the form of DL-alpha tocopherol is a high purity liquid oil antioxidant (about 96%), mainly used to protect oils and the oil phase of cosmetics from oxidation. It is a synthetically prepared (DL) form of tocopherol, which is then purified and modified for cosmetic use. In practice, it helps to retard yellowing, the development of unpleasant odours from rancid oils and the general oxidative deterioration of formulations rich in unsaturated lipids.

Key benefits

Antioxidant protection of vegetable oils, butters and oil phase emulsions.
Helps increase formulation stability when using sensitive, unsaturated oils.
Soluble in oils - easily incorporated into lipid systems.
Suitable for products where the aim is to slow oxidation and maintain the quality of the raw materials.

Suitable for products such as

Facial oils and anhydrous serums.
Lipbalms, protective ointments and pomades.
Body butters and oil blends.
Creams and body lotions (emulsions) - protection of the oil phase.
Cleansing oils and exfoliating balms.

Use in formulation

Soluble in: oils, butters and ester emollients.
Miscible with: common lipids and oil actives; added to the oil phase or to the finished oil blend.
Compatible with: most emulsifiers and stabilisers; in emulsions it acts in the oil part.
Recommended dosage: typically low percentages according to the sensitivity of the oils used and the target of the formulation.
It is recommended to add during cooling (at temperatures below 40 °C).

Safety and storage

Work hygienically and use clean tools; minimize unnecessary contamination during dispensing.
Limit prolonged exposure to air and light; prefer packaging that reduces access to light (e.g. dark glass) and leave as little free space above the surface as possible.
Avoid repeated prolonged overheating; incorporation at a lower temperature helps preserve the quality of the antioxidant.

FAQ

Is there a difference between tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate in cosmetics?

Yes. Tocopherol is a directly effective antioxidant in the oil phase, while tocopheryl acetate is a more stable ester; in formulation, it is chosen according to the target and stability of the system.

Does vitamin E replace the preservative in the cream?

No. Vitamin E is an antioxidant (protection of lipids from oxidation) but does not act as a preservative against microorganisms in aqueous products.

Does vitamin E increase SPF or replace UV filters?

No. It is not a UV filter and does not replace tested UV filters. It is used for antioxidant protection of the oil phase and to promote formulation stability.

Why is vitamin E often added to oils rich in unsaturated fatty acids?

Such oils oxidize faster. The antioxidant helps to slow down the oxidative changes that are manifested by a change in the colour and aroma of the oil component.

Can I use vitamin E in an anhydrous balm without emulsion?

Yes. It is very commonly used in anhydrous products - it is added to oils and fats to reduce the risk of oxidation during use.
