- Product Highlights
- D-Alpha Tocopherol is made by esterifying α-tocopherol with acetic acid in which the acetate group protects the hydroxyl group of the tocopherol chromanol ring from oxidation. Hence it shows enhanced stability and functionality. Its high stability is the major reason behind D-alpha Tocopherol Acetates' popularity.
- D-Alpha Tocopherol Acetate has quite unique properties and there’s a huge demand for it in the Dermatological and pharmaceuticals industries as it can penetrate through the skin to the living cells. It protects skin from Uv rays. Its properties are not only limited to this, but it can also give an acidic product longer shelf life and protect it from degradation hence making itself essential in health and lifestyle as well.
