*This vitamin E is new and different than what we held before. Its smell is milder thanks to its sunflower oil base, but it keeps a little shorter for the same reason.
It is also more concentrated (1000 IU instead of 500 IU); we recommend using between 0.5 and 2% in your formulas*

The natural non-GMO vitamin E is composed of a minimum of 73.5% D-alpha tocopheryl acetate, an acetic ester of acetic acid and tocopherol, more stable than non-acetylated forms of tocopherol. The rest of the composition includes up to 26.5% sunflower oil and 4% other tocopherols.

This natural vitamin E comes in a form clear liquid, in color slightly yellow to brownish, and has a mild flavor profile as well as a discreet smell.

Vitamin E derivatives are divided into two large groups : the tocopherols and the tocotrienols.

Each group includes four counterparts : alpha, beta, gamma and delta.

In its acetylated form, vitamin E (D-alpha tocopheryl acetate) is commonly used for naturally preserve polyunsaturated fatty acids and oils from oxidation.

It is particularly appreciated in the formulation ofoils, cosmetics and personal care products, where she extends shelf life preparations.

In cosmetics, it is also sought after for its antioxidant properties, who can benefit the skin when applied locally.

This vitamin E presents a activity of 1000 IU per gram.

Stability and physical characteristics

The D-alpha tocopheryl acetate can thicken at temperatures below 25°C (77°F) and he is normal for crystals to form naturally at low temperature.

For reliquefy and restore a homogeneous solution in the event of crystallization, simply heat the product to between 49°C and 60°C (120°F to 140°F) for a while while mixing gently.

This behavior is a natural characteristic of the product and does not compromise its quality or effectiveness.
