Tocopheryl Linoleate description

Tocopheryl linoleate is a form of vitamin E (technically, the ester of tocopherol and linoleic acid). It is categorized as a skin-conditioning agent (think moisturising) and antioxidant (think anti-ageing). When compared to other vitamin E derivatives, tocopheryl linoleate was shown to be one of the top free radical scavengers (meaning it has a significant impact on reducing the negative effects environmental stressors have on skin). Thus, this is a good ingredient to see in skin care formulations. Tocopheryl linoleate is used in a wide variety of other personal care products including makeup and hair or nail care. In 2018, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel reconfirmed tocopheryl linoleate’s status as a safe ingredient. Their report surveyed products using tocopheryl linoleate in concentrations between 0.0001-1%. It is sometimes used in very low amounts to help stabilise plant extracts and vitamins.
