Hi every one it has been some time since I have had the time to
post. So here I am once again. Today we are talking about Vitamin E Oil. I was
recently asked what our Vitamin E oil was made from. Humm I was not sure, So I
took the time and did my research and asked questions from the company where I
buy our Vitamin E Oil that we use in our products.
Research Results:
The Vitamin E Oil we use in all
our products is also called Tocopherol, or Vitamin E,
It is a fat-soluble vitamin in eight forms that is an important antioxidant. ... Although originally extracted from wheat germ oil, our natural vitamin E supplements is derived from vegetable oils, usually soybean oil.
What’s tocopheryl acetate?
Alpha-tocopheryl acetate (ATA) is a specific form of vitamin E
that’s often found in skin care products and dietary supplements. It’s also
known as tocopheryl acetate, tocopherol acetate, or vitamin E acetate.
Vitamin E is known for its antioxidant properties.
Antioxidants help to protect your body from damaging compounds called free
radicals. Normally, free radicals form when your body converts food into
energy. However, free radicals can also come from UV light, cigarette smoke,
and air pollution.
In nature, vitamin E comes in the form of tocopheryl or
tocotrienol. Both tocopheryl and tocotrienol have four forms, known as alpha,
beta, gamma, and delta. Alpha-tocopheryl (AT) is the most active form of
vitamin E in humans.
ATA is more stable than AT, meaning it can better withstand
environmental stresses such as heat, air, and light. This makes it ideal for
use in supplements and fortified foods because it has a longer shelf life.
Where
can I find tocopheryl acetate?
Cosmetics and supplements
You’ll find ATA in a variety of skin care products. The
antioxidant properties of vitamin E can help to prevent damage to skin caused
by free radicals from UV exposure. Vitamin E may also have an anti-inflammatory
effect on the skin.
Due to its higher stability, ATA is also used in vitamin E
dietary supplements. When taken orally, ATA is converted to AT within the
intestine. Vitamin E is in most multi-vitamins, so be sure to check how much is
in your multi-vitamin if you take one, before adding a supplement.
