Tocopheryl acetate, CAS#7695-91-2
DL-α-Tocopherol acetate is the stable esterified form of vitamin E. Unlike free tocopherol, this ester structure delivers outstanding antioxidative stability, greatly slowing down degradation and oxidation when exposed during production, storage and long-distance shipment. It is one of the most popular lipophilic active ingredients for cosmetic manufacturing. Incorporated into skincare and personal care formulations, it works effectively to defend skin against oxidative stress from environmental irritants, helping prevent, soothe and correct different types of skin damage. It can blend smoothly with oils and other lipophilic raw materials, bringing excellent formulation compatibility for creams, serums, lotions and other cosmetic products.

H2: Product Application Of Tocopheryl acetate CAS#7695-91-2
H3: Natural Source Background
Vitamin E (α-tocopherol) occurs naturally in most vegetable oils. The highest concentrations are found in corn, soybean oils, sunflower seed, wheat germ, rapeseed, alfalfa, and lettuce. It is claimed to have age-retardant properties. Please note that in rare individual cases, it may produce erythema multiforme-like eruptions upon improper use or high-concentration exposure.
H3: Cosmetic & Personal Care Application
It is widely formulated into a number of cosmetic products. Special skincare creams containing this ingredient are commonly applied for improving the appearance of scars, stretch marks (striae), and skin burns. Besides skincare creams, it is also a regular additive in pharmaceutical topical creams and deodorant formulations.
H3: Food & Food Additive Application
It serves as an effective, safe lipophilic antioxidant in food systems. It helps delay lipid oxidation, prevent rancidity, extend the shelf life of edible oils, nut products, baked goods and fat-containing food ingredients.
H3: Additional Industrial Formulation Uses
Beyond cosmetics and food, it can also be added into dietary supplement softgels, animal nutrition premixes and oil-based industrial formulations. It stabilizes oil phases and protects other active components from oxidative deterioration.
H2: Product Advantages
H3: Superior Oxidation Stability
As the esterified form of vitamin E, tocopheryl acetate has much better storage stability compared with free α‑tocopherol. It will not lose activity quickly during transportation and long-term warehouse storage.
H3: Good Oil Solubility & Compatibility
This oily active ingredient mixes easily with triglycerides, plant oils and most lipophilic cosmetic raw materials. It is convenient for batching and homogenization in production lines.
H3: Controlled, Consistent Quality
Each batch is tested before release. We inspect content, acid value, transparency and impurity indexes to keep stable performance for your continuous production.
H2: Delivery Schedule
H3: Fast delivery time
Stock inventory orders: Ready for shipment within 2–3 working days once payment is confirmed
New production orders: Production lead time 7–10 working days
Reminder: The above time only covers our factory production and warehousing arrangement. Ocean shipping, customs inspection and destination clearance time are not included. Our sales team will send you regular progress updates during production.
H2: Packaging & Transportation
H3: Standard Packing Options
Default package: 200kg food-grade steel drum with inner anti-leak PE liner. Custom packing specifications such as smaller drums or IBC totes can be negotiated for special requirements. Custom label printing with your brand logo is acceptable.
H3: Shipping & Loading
Our MOQ is 1 FCL. We arrange full-container loading for sea freight. Drums are fixed and palletized carefully to avoid leakage, collision or toppling during long ocean transit. We can work with your designated freight forwarder or recommend trusted shipping partners.
H3: Storage Guidance
Store in cool, dry and shaded warehouse conditions. Keep away from direct sunlight, high temperature and strong oxidants. Keep drums tightly sealed after partial use to avoid contamination and oxidation.
H2: After-sales Service
H3: Complete Document Support
We provide full set of export documents including COA (Certificate of Analysis), packing list, commercial invoice, MSDS and other certificates required for customs clearance.
H3: Quality Complaint Handling
If you find any quality issues after receiving goods, please provide clear photos, video or test evidence within 7 working days after container arrival. Our technical and sales team will evaluate the case rapidly and offer a proper solution.
H3: Professional Technical Support
Our technical team can offer formulation suggestions, recommended adding dosage and compatibility tips for cosmetic, food or supplement formulas.
H2: Suitable Customer Groups & Cooperation

H2: FAQ
H3: Q: Can I get free samples for testing?
A: Yes, small lab samples are available. You only need to cover the international courier freight cost for sample delivery.
H3: Q: Is this material suitable for food grade use?
A: This grade meets relevant food antioxidant standards. If you need documents for food registration, please inform our sales team in advance.
H3: Q: Can it be mixed directly with water-based formulas?
A: Tocopheryl acetate is oil-soluble. It needs emulsifier systems to be incorporated into water-based products such as toners and aqueous serums. Our technicians can share emulsification advice.
H3: Q: What is the shelf life of this product?
A: Under recommended storage conditions, the shelf life is 24 months from the production date.
