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.
