Vitamin E Acetate is a great antioxidant that helps oils from going rancid. It is widely used in cosmetic and bath products due to its ability to protect skin.
Description
Vitamin E Acetate
This synthetic form of Vitamin E is used in many cosmetic and personal care formulations due to its stability. Vitamin E Acetate is widely used to diminish and soften the appearance of scars, as it has been proven to improve enzyme activity. Its antioxidant properties are an excellent preservative, helping to extend the life of natural oils and slow down rancidity.
Why do we prefer extracts in liquid form? They are easy to use in bases and do not normally require heating to be properly mixed in. Many customers have expressed frustration when attempting to incorporate extract powders into viscous formulations due to issues with powders not fully dissolving. Our goal is to keep this as easy and enjoyable as possible!
