Description

Vitamin E Acetate is a stable, esterified form of Vitamin E (tocopherol) widely used as a potent antioxidant and nutrient. This high-purity compound is essential for protecting formulations against oxidative degradation and for delivering the biological benefits of Vitamin E. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and premium personal care industries seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials for their products.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an active ingredient or excipient in softgel capsules, tablets, and injectables for its antioxidant and nutritional properties.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key component in multivitamin blends, standalone Vitamin E supplements, and functional food products.
• Cosmetics & Skincare: Incorporated into anti-aging creams, serums, lotions, and sunscreens for its skin-conditioning and protective benefits against free radicals.
• Animal Feed & Nutrition: Added to premixes to enhance the nutritional value of feed for livestock, poultry, and pets.
• Food Fortification: Used to enrich edible oils, dairy alternatives, and other food products to improve their nutritional profile and shelf life.
• Premium Industrial Applications: Serves as a stabilizer in specialty polymers and high-value lubricants where oxidative resistance is required.

Quality Control

Our Vitamin E Acetate is manufactured under strict quality systems and can be supplied to meet various pharmacopoeial standards, including USP, EP, and FCC. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and potency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, specific rotation, and related substances.

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 light-sensitive nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
