Description

Vitamin E Acetate (CAS 7695-91-2) is the acetate ester form of alpha-tocopherol, commonly referenced under the names tocopheryl acetate, DL-alpha-tocopherol acetate, and Alpha-Tocopherylis Acetas. It carries no E-number designation and is supplied as a neat liquid with the molecular formula C31H52O3.

In food and nutritional supplement manufacturing, it serves as a stable source of vitamin E that resists oxidation during processing, converting to active tocopherol upon absorption. In personal care formulations, it protects lipid-rich skin barrier components from free radical degradation and is incorporated into creams, serums, and sun care products for its skin-protectant activity.

Vitamin E Acetate is available in pharmaceutical grade (Ph.Eur.), food grade (FCC), and cosmetic grade specifications. It is fully REACH-registered and classified under HS code 29362800. Procurement quantities typically range from drum to IBC formats, with documentation including CoA, SDS, and regulatory compliance letters on request.
