THE SUPERIOR E- TOCOTRIENOLS

Vitamin E refers to eight different isoforms that belong to two categories:

  • 4 saturated analogues called tocopherols and
  • 4 unsaturated analogues referred to as tocotrienols

  • Tocotrienols differ from the tocopherols in that they contain three double bonds in the side chain
  • Tocotrienols has shown to be 40-60x more potent in antioxidative properties as compared to tocopherols
  • There are various sources for tocopherols- both synthetic and natural.
    However, Tocotrienols to date have only been
    found in natural sources.

A UNIQUE SOLUTION CREATED BY FORMULATORS, FOR FORMULATORS.

  • Touted as a super botanical, tocotrienols is an active that is both powerful yet challenging to incorporate into cosmeceuticals formulations due to its high antioxidative potency.
  • We solved this challenge by creating a luxurious, simple to use and stable emollient that unlocks the clinical benefits of Tocotrienols.
