Product Features & Competitive Advantages

Why sourcing DL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate from HersonCare gives you a market edge:

Unmatched Oxidation Stability: The acetate ester bond protects the tocopherol molecule, providing far greater stability against heat, light, and air than pure tocopherol. This drastically reduces ingredient degradation during processing and storage.
Cost-Effectiveness vs. Natural Vitamin E: Delivers consistent antioxidant activity at a significantly lower and more stable price point than natural (D-alpha) sources, without sacrificing efficacy in most applications.
Superior Process Compatibility: The powder form allows for precise, low-dust dispensing and is ideal for direct compression in tablets, dry blending in powders, and incorporation into lipid phases. It complements other dry Cosmetic Raw Materials like Sodium Hyaluronate powder seamlessly.
Stringent Quality Control: Every batch is HPLC-verified for potency, ensuring you receive the exact activity level specified for reliable formulation outcomes.
Synergistic Formulation Potential: Can be effectively combined with other Natural Antioxidants like certain Plant Extracts to create broad-spectrum protection systems in cosmetics and supplements.

How to Use in Manufacturing: A Step-by-Step Guide

Dosage Calculation: Determine the required concentration based on your final product's desired Vitamin E activity (IU/g or %). Typical use levels are 0.1-0.5% in cosmetics, 0.5-2.0% in supplements.
Pre-Dispersion/Solubilization: For optimal homogeneity, pre-dissolve the powder in the oil phase of your formulation. Heat (up to 70°C) and gentle stirring can accelerate dissolution in oils.
Incorporation: Add the oil solution to your main batch during emulsification or mixing. For dry blends (e.g., powder supplements), use geometric dilution to ensure even distribution with other dry ingredients like Freeze Dried Fruit Powder or mineral carriers.
Process Verification: Take a sample from the batch post-mixing to verify uniform dispersion. For quality control, assay the final product for Vitamin E content.
Packaging & Storage: Package the final product in airtight, light-resistant containers. The stability of our acetate form provides a significant buffer, but standard precautions maximize shelf-life.

Global Application Scenarios

Dietary Supplements & Functional Foods

Used as the active ingredient in Vitamin E capsules, tablets, and softgels. Also functions as a shelf-life extender in oil-based nutritional supplements and fortified foods, preventing rancidity. Ideal for blending with other Vitamins and Minerals into multi-vitamin premixes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Buyers

1. What is the primary advantage of the Acetate form over pure Tocopherol?

The acetate ester group significantly enhances stability against oxidation, making it the preferred form for products requiring long shelf-life or those exposed to heat/air during manufacturing.

2. How does synthetic (DL) Vitamin E compare biologically to natural (D) Vitamin E?

Synthetic DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate is officially recognized as having about 74% of the potency of natural D-alpha-tocopherol (by IU/mg). For most applications where antioxidant protection is key (not specific bioavailability claims), it offers exceptional cost-performance.

3. Is this material suitable for vegan and vegetarian products?

Yes. As a synthetically produced material, it contains no animal-derived ingredients and is suitable for vegan formulations.

4. What are the storage conditions and shelf life?

Store in a cool, dry place in the original sealed container. Shelf life is 24 months from the date of production when stored properly. Avoid prolonged exposure to light and moisture.

5. What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and lead time?

Standard MOQ is 20kg. Lead time is typically 2-3 weeks after order confirmation, depending on quantity and destination. Sample quantities are available for quality evaluation.

6. Can you provide support for regulatory submissions in our country?

We provide all necessary base documentation (CoA, MSDS, GMO-Free statement, Allergen statement). While we don't submit on your behalf, our documents are designed to meet the requirements of most global regulatory frameworks.
