Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate)
CAS Number: 58-95-7
Tocopheryl Acetate is the esterified, stable form of Vitamin E widely used as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetics. Unlike free tocopherol, the acetate form resists oxidation during storage, ensuring product stability. Once applied, skin enzymes convert it to active tocopherol, which scavenges free radicals, protects against UV damage, and supports skin barrier function.
