2. D-α Tocopherol Acetate Source
Soybean (Latin name: Glycine Max (Linn.) Merr), also called bean, is of China origin. It is planted all around China, mainly distributed in the Northeast, Southern regions and Huanghuaihai Plain. Moreover, soybean grown in Northeast China is of higher quality. Other countries in the world also cultivate soybean, such as Argentina, India, Brazil, the United States and so on. Soybean is rich in plant protein, so it is commonly used for extracting oil and protein, producing various soy products, and brewing soy sauce. Nowadays, it is mostly applied in food-processing and feedstuff industries.

6. D-α Tocopherol Acetate Benefits
Whitening and Antioxidant
D-α Tocopherol Acetate is a main form of vitamin E. It can prevent the oxidation of oxides, including cytomembrane, intracellular unsaturated fatty acids, etc. in the metabolic process of the body. So it can protect the integrity of the cell membrane, exert its anti-aging effect, and maintain the normal function of cells. As an antioxidant and whitening agent, D-α Tocopherol Acetate has a strong reducing function. It can eliminate free radicals in the body, and reduce the damage caused by ultraviolet ray to human body.
7. BFSTAR D-α Tocopherol Acetate Characteristics
- High content of tocopherol acetate in vegetable oil. BFSTAR adopts soybean oil instead of others.
- BFSTAR selects good soybean oil as raw material, without any cheap and inferior soybeans.
8. Advantages of D-α Tocopherol Acetate Compared to α Tocopherol
Different from α tocopherol:
1. D-α Tocopherol Acetate is not easily oxidized by light, heat and air, and its stability is higher than that of α tocopherol.
2. Esters have a stronger anti-oxidation effect than unesterified tocopherols, extending products’ shelf life.
3. BFSTAR D-α Tocopherol Acetate powder can be well mingled with other cosmetics additives to effectively exert its function to remove free radicals and resist oxidation.
Fat-soluble α tocopherol ‘s molecular weight is large, and its side chain is longer. When applied to cosmetics, it is hard to mingle with water soluble components, and can only be made as creaminess. That will greatly reduce the effect of active ingredients.
9. D-α Tocopherol Acetate Application and Dosage
D-α Tocopherol Acetate is mainly applied in cosmetics, such as moisturizer, toner, facial cleanser, cream, shampoo and so on.
