Tocopherol Acetate description

Tocopherol acetate is one of many types of vitamin E. Like other forms of vitamin E, it offers significant antioxidant benefits for skin. This includes defending skin from pollution and other environmental stressors that lead to signs of aging. While naturally derived whole vitamin E (tocopherol) ends to have more benefits for skin, synthetic forms can still play a vital role in skin health. As with other forms of vitamin E, tocopherol acetate—which may also be listed as tocopheryl acetate—also helps keep delicate ingredients in cosmetics stable for longer. Vitamin E is often paired with pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) for this purpose. The independent Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel has ruled all forms of vitamin E safe as used in cosmetics. Typical usage range hovers between 0.1–0.5%, although amounts up to 10% may be used depending on formulary needs and desired benefits.
