Frequently Asked Questions
What is D-alpha-tocopherol (DA tocopherol)?
D-alpha-tocopherol (RRR-alpha-tocopherol, natural vitamin E, CAS 59-02-9, C29H50O2) is the natural-source form of vitamin E. In powder form it is typically adsorbed on a carrier, since the pure substance is an oil. It is used as an antioxidant, a vitamin E nutrient ingredient, a cosmetic antioxidant, and an animal-feed additive.
What is the difference between D-alpha-tocopherol and the powder form?
D-alpha-tocopherol itself is an oil; the powder grade is the same active adsorbed onto a carrier to create a free-flowing solid suited to dry blending in tablets, capsules, and powders. The chemistry of the vitamin E active is identical, the powder format simply changes handling and dispersibility.
What is D-alpha-tocopherol powder used for?
It is used as an antioxidant for oxidation control in oils, fats, and formulated products; as a vitamin E active ingredient in supplement tablets, capsules, and powders; as a vitamin E source in animal-feed premixes; and as a cosmetic antioxidant in skin-care formulations.
What grade and packaging does RawSource supply D-alpha-tocopherol powder in?
RawSource supplies natural-source vitamin E powder for supplement, food, feed, and cosmetic use, classified under HS code 2936.28 (vitamin E and its derivatives). Assay, carrier, packaging, and lot size are confirmed per order, with a CoA and SDS provided. Request a bulk quote with your target spec.
What is the cost of bulk D-alpha-tocopherol powder?
Bulk pricing varies by assay/grade, carrier, packaging, order volume, and destination, so it is quoted per order rather than published. Submit a bulk RFQ with your quantity and spec and RawSource will return current pricing.
What is the REACH and TSCA regulatory status of D-Alpha-Tocopherol (Vitamin E)?
D-Alpha-Tocopherol (Vitamin E) (CAS 59-02-9) is subject to U.S. TSCA Inventory requirements; supplying it into the EU requires valid REACH registration ((EC) No 1907/2006). RawSource cannot verify a third-party supplier's registrations — buyers should require documented TSCA and REACH compliance for their jurisdiction and volume (EC 200-412-2).
