TOCOPHEROL: what it is

The listed chemical name includes 3,4-Dihydro-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-(4,8,12-trimethyltridecyl)-2H-benzopyran-6-ol, alpha-tocopherol and Vitamin E. The record also brings together several CAS and EC numbers for its listed forms rather than presenting one identifier.

TOCOPHEROL: what it does in cosmetics

TOCOPHEROL is classified as ANTIOXIDANT, FRAGRANCE, SKIN CONDITIONING - MISCELLANEOUS and SKIN CONDITIONING - OCCLUSIVE. The record combines an antioxidant classification and a relation to fragrance with two conditioning categories, one identified as occlusive.

These functions describe roles recorded for tocopherol in a cosmetic composition. They do not state the proportion of each tocopherol form or establish the effect of a finished product.

TOCOPHEROL: conditions and care

The record provides no cosmetic restriction, maximum concentration, condition of use or additional regulation for TOCOPHEROL. The presence of several CAS and EC numbers identifies listed forms, but is not accompanied by individual limits in this entry.

The absence of these fields is not a safety assessment. It only defines what is documented in this record and does not establish conditions of use beyond the available information.
