About tocopheryl acetate
What's Actually In the Pan · ingredientlogic Editorial · 1 min read
The short answer
Tocopheryl acetate is a stable form of vitamin E used in cosmetics as an antioxidant that helps protect the oils in a formula from going rancid. In our pressed base it sits near the end of the ladder, alongside rosemary leaf extract, doing the job that a synthetic preservative would otherwise do.
Tocopheryl acetate is a stable form of vitamin E. In our formulas its job is to guard the plant oils — jojoba, safflower — against oxidation.
That is a formula-stability job, not a skincare claim. Oils that oxidize smell wrong and behave differently on skin, and an antioxidant is what buys a botanical formula its shelf life without a synthetic preservative.
It appears in the pressed foundation, the blush, the highlighter, the trios, the duos and the Liquid Foundation.
