Mixed Tocopherol 50% refers to a natural Vitamin E concentrate, a viscous, brownish oil containing a blend of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta tocopherols (usually >50% total), primarily sourced from vegetable oils like soy or sunflower; it’s a powerful antioxidant used in cosmetics, food, and supplements to prevent oxidation, stabilize oils, and provide skin protection, differing from pure alpha-tocopherol by offering broader, longer-lasting antioxidant action for product preservation.

Key Characteristics & Uses:

Composition: A mixture (e.g., D-alpha, D-beta, D-gamma, D-delta tocopherols) totaling at least 50%, often standardized with carrier oils like sunflower oil.
Function: Acts as a fat-soluble antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals and protecting oils, fats, and oxygen-sensitive ingredients from rancidity and degradation.
Applications:
Cosmetics: Extends shelf life, stabilizes oil-based formulas, provides skin protection (anti-aging, sun care), and aids in wound healing.
Benefits: Offers broader, longer-lasting antioxidant protection than pure alpha-tocopherol alone, making it excellent for boosting product stability.
