Description

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 the body from damaging free radicals. Normally, free radicals form when the 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 because it has a longer shelf life.
Our tocopherol is naturally derived from either soybean or rapeseed oil. ?It?is produced when this naturally derived d?alpha tocopherol is combined with acetic acid in a process known as esterification.
