PerfumersWorld: Vitamin e acetate is almost odourless emollient virtually oily skin preparations.
It has a viscous texture with slow absorption into the skin. ideal for mixing with blends (0.5-1%) to increase richness and aid prolonged massage without constant re-application. using at 20% in a very light oil base is useful preventing stretch marks but please test a small area first to make sure you do not have a reaction.using the acetate of vitamin e means that it is not an anti-oxidant for your products but the skin can utilise it and release the vitamin e for skin moisturising, strengthening, elasticity, cell regeneration and rejuvenation. pure vitamin e (dark brown colour) may be far more irritating to the skin than this acetate form.not really recommended as a solvent in perfumery compounds due to poor solubility of resins, citrus oils (terpenes), powders and crystals. it has no anti-oxidant properties for essential oils or perfume compounds.
