Product description

Tocopheryl Acetate (AakoVit E Acetate) is the more stable acetic acid ester of Tocopherol. Tocopheryl Acetate is absorbed easily by the skin, where it is cleaved enzymatically into Tocopherol.

Tocopherol is an in vivo antioxidant, scavenges free radicals induced by UV radiation. This increases the moisture-retaining ability of the epidermis.

It also slows down the photooxidative processes of decomposition in hair pigment (melanin) and hair protein (keratin).

Ideal ingredient to add to sun screen and after sun formulations at 0.3 to 5 %.
