Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate)

Product Introduction: Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

General Description
Vitamin E (Tocopherol) is a premier, multifunctional antioxidant widely utilized in the personal care, cosmetic, and food industries. It is renowned for providing dual-action protection: stabilizing formulations against oxidative degradation and defending the skin against environmental stress.

Mechanisms of Action

• Potent Free Radical Scavenging:
  Acts as a primary chain-breaking antioxidant that efficiently neutralizes free radicals. It inhibits lipid peroxidation within the formulation, effectively preventing the oxidation of oils and degradation of active ingredients.

• Dual-Protective Barrier Function:
  On the skin, it protects cellular membranes from oxidative stress caused by UV radiation and pollution. Simultaneously, it integrates into the skin's lipid barrier to reinforce structural integrity and reduce Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL).

Key Benefits

• Formulation Stability & Freshness:
  Prevents product rancidity, discoloration, and loss of efficacy. It significantly extends shelf life by protecting the oil phase and sensitive actives from oxidation.

• Skin Repair & Anti-Aging:
  Enhances the skin's natural defense mechanisms. It aids in repairing the skin barrier, improving roughness, and reducing the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness and photo-aging.

• Deep Hydration:
  Provides emollient properties that lock in moisture, maintaining skin elasticity and suppleness.
