Description

Vitamin E (CAS NO 2074-53-5) is a vital fat-soluble antioxidant essential for protecting cells from oxidative damage. This compound is critical for industries where product stability and shelf-life are paramount, as it effectively inhibits lipid peroxidation. It is a key ingredient for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, cosmetic, food & beverage, and animal feed sectors seeking to enhance the nutritional profile and oxidative stability of their formulations.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: A primary ingredient in softgel capsules, multivitamin tablets, and liquid formulations for its antioxidant health benefits.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used in anti-aging creams, lotions, serums, and sunscreens for its skin-conditioning and protective properties against environmental stressors.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Added to functional foods, edible oils, dairy products, and beverages as a natural preservative and nutrient enhancer.
• Animal Nutrition (Feed Additives): Incorporated into premixes and feed for livestock, poultry, and pets to support immune function and improve meat quality.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used in topical ointments and certain medicinal formulations for its therapeutic and stabilizing effects.
• Industrial Applications: Acts as an antioxidant in lubricants, plastics, and rubber to prevent degradation and extend material life.

Quality Control

Our Vitamin E is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets relevant specifications for purity, potency, and safety, including those outlined in USP, FCC, and EP monographs where applicable. Comprehensive testing includes assay, identification, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an easily oxidized compound, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation of quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
