What is Tocopherol Acetate used for?
Tocopheryl acetate is used as an alternative to free tocopherol because it is more stable in formulation. The tocopheryl acetate in our products serves as an antioxidant for the product and for its skin conditioning properties.

What we know about using Tocopherol Acetate while pregnant or breastfeeding
Limited information available.
From the original report on Tocopherols Oral administration of tocopherol ((up to 75 mg /day in the diet), tocopheryl succinate, and tocophersolan did not have reproductive or developmental effects in rats, and tocopheryl acetate (≤ 1.6 g/kg/day) generally did not have any reproductive or developmental effects in rabbits, hamsters, rats, or mice. Tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate had some effect on reducing the number of malformations observed in neonates from diabetic dams. Tocopherol did not have an effect on zinc deficiency-induced teratogenicity. In some studies, tocopheryl acetate potentiated the embryo-lethal effects of cortisone acetate. Tocopheryl succinate reduced some reproductive effects, but not all, induced by TCDD. 1
General safety info about Tocopherol Acetate from CIR
The Expert Panel assessed the safety of 14 tocopherols and tocotrienols, and concluded these ingredients are safe as used in cosmetics. The tocopherols are reported to function in cosmetics as antioxidants or skin conditioning agents; in contrast, tocotrienols is not reported to function as an anti-oxidant in cosmetics, but as a light stabilizer, oral care agent, or skin conditioning agent. The Panel reviewed the new and existing animal and clinical data to determine the safety of these ingredients, and found it appropriate to extrapolate the existing information to conclude on the safety of all the tocopherols and tocotrienols
