Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between D-alpha-tocopherol and D-alpha tocopheryl acetate?

D-alpha-tocopherol is natural vitamin E in its free (alcohol) form, while D-alpha tocopheryl acetate (CAS 58-95-7) is its acetate ester. Esterification at the hydroxyl group makes the acetate more oxidatively stable and longer-lived in formulations, which is why the acetate is the common form used in supplements and skin-care products.

Is tocopheryl acetate an oil?

Yes. D-alpha tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E acetate, C31H52O3) is supplied as an oil. For dry-blending applications it is also available adsorbed on a carrier as a powder, but the base material in this grade is the oil form.

What is D-alpha tocopheryl acetate oil used for?

Documented uses include a stable vitamin E ester for softgels and capsules, a common vitamin E form in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, an antioxidant for oxidation control in oils and formulated products, and a light-stability (UV) aid in formulations.

Is tocopheryl acetate oil water soluble?

No. D-alpha tocopheryl acetate is an oil-soluble, lipophilic vitamin E ester and is not water soluble; it disperses into the oil phase of emulsions or anhydrous oil systems. See the product SDS and technical data sheet for solubility and handling details.

What is the cost of bulk D-alpha tocopheryl acetate oil?

Bulk pricing depends on assay/grade, packaging, order volume, and destination and is quoted per order rather than listed. Submit a bulk RFQ with your quantity and spec and RawSource will return current pricing, with CoA and SDS, under HS code 2936.28.
