General safety info about Tocopheryl 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
