Product Overview
Our Vitamin E - Bioxan ® SF (formerly known by the name Tocobiol® SF, but otherwise unchanged) is the most natural and active we have found. The mixed tocopherols are derived from 100% non-GMO sunflower seeds – no corn or soy – and are considered non-allergenic. In addition to approximately 20% mixed tocopherols, it contains several beneficial components as found in their natural state and within their own natural sunflower oil matrix. It is naturally rich in monoglycerides (lipids that act as an emulsifier), moisturizing phytosterols, and squalene.
This natural antioxidant is especially designed for cosmetic products such as skin and body care blends, facial masks and serums, sun care, hair care, lip products, soap bars, and more. Usage rate can vary from 0.05 - 1% of the total formula, with a typical usage rate of 0.1 - 0.3%.
PLEASE NOTE: Vitamin E is an oil-soluble antioxidant suitable for retarding oxidation and rancidity in oil-based formulas. Lipid oxidation in cosmetic products can result in texture changes and discoloration. The addition of antioxidants such as vitamin E may help maintain texture and improve color stability. An additional preservative system to prevent the growth of mold and other microbials is needed for water-based formulas. To achieve optimal efficacy, this Vitamin E should be heated and mixed thoroughly before using. Please see Blending Suggestions above for instructions.
