Vitamin E Acetate – Fixed Oil

---

Vitamin E Acetate is a versatile and beneficial ingredient for skincare formulations. This almost odorless emollient is known for its rich, oily texture, providing a luxurious feel to skin preparations. Its slow absorption rate allows for prolonged massage, minimizing the need for constant reapplication. This makes it an ideal addition to massage oils and blends, where its viscosity enhances the overall experience.

Adding Vitamin E Acetate at a concentration of 0.5-1% can significantly increase the richness and luxuriousness of your blends. It’s also a potential ally in preventing stretch marks when used at 20% in a very light oil base. However, due to individual skin sensitivities, it is essential to perform a patch test before applying it to a larger area.

While Vitamin E Acetate isn’t an antioxidant itself, the skin can effectively utilize it and release the Vitamin E for its various benefits. These benefits include moisturizing, strengthening, improving elasticity, aiding cell regeneration, and promoting rejuvenation. Interestingly, while pure Vitamin E (often found in dark brown form) can be irritating to some, this acetate form is generally more gentle on the skin.

It’s worth noting that Vitamin E Acetate is not recommended as a solvent for perfumery compounds. Its poor solubility with resins, citrus oils, powders, and crystals limits its use in fragrance applications. It also lacks antioxidant properties for essential oils and perfume compounds.
