  • alpha tocopherol vs mixed tocopherol for a vit C serum.

    Hi, 
    I am trying to include vit E in my Vit C serum.

    MOQ of alpha tocopherol is very high, 25kg
    but my supplier has mixed tocopherols 95% 
    also its said that mixed tocopherols have better antioxidant protection on the formula than alpha tocopherol.
    then why is alpha tocopherol used always?

    Tocopheryl Acetate is typically used.

    Thanks Perry, 
    But I read that tocopherol acetate doesn’t offer protection to the formula, it only benefits the skin.
    Hence looking for tocopherol which helps with antioxidant protection for the vit C.
