Applications
1.Cosmetic and Personal Care The largest application market for vitamin E acetate. Used in creams, lotions, serums, body care products and hair care formulations. It provides stable skin-nourishing and conditioning effects, with good compatibility in emulsion systems.
2.Dietary Supplements Used in softgels, tablets, hard capsules and solid beverage formulas. As a stable form of vitamin E, it reduces oxidation loss during product shelf life and serves as a nutritional ingredient for health supplement products.

| Air and Water Reactions: | This chemical may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to light and air. (NTP, 1992). Insoluble in water. | Reactive Group: | Esters, Sulfate Esters, Phosphate Esters, Thiophosphate Esters, and Borate Esters |
| Reactivity Profile: | An ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. |
