Vitamin E Acetate Oily

Whatsapp Order

Vitamin E Acetate Oily, also known as DL-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate, is a synthetic, oil-soluble form of Vitamin E with high purity and exceptional oxidative stability. This viscous liquid is ideal for applications requiring direct incorporation into oil-based systems such as soft gel capsules, cosmetic formulations, and fortified edible oils. Its stability under processing and storage conditions makes it a preferred form of Vitamin E for nutritional, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food-grade applications.
