Product Features & Competitive Advantages
HERSONCARE's D-Alpha Tocopheryl Succinate is engineered for performance, setting it apart in the global ingredients market.
- Superior Bioavailability (Natural D-Form): The natural "D" isomer is recognized and utilized by the human body more effectively than synthetic "DL" forms, providing greater value and efficacy per milligram.
- Unmatched Oxidative Stability: The succinate ester group acts as a protective shield, making this form significantly more stable against heat, light, and oxygen than pure tocopherols. This extends the shelf-life of your finished products, a critical factor for Natural Antioxidants in supply chains.
- Versatile Powder Form: Easy to handle, weigh, and incorporate into a vast array of formulations—from dry blended supplements and tablet presses to cosmetic powder blends and oil dispersions.
- Dual-Action in Cosmetics: Functions as both a potent Anti Aging Raw Material by neutralizing skin-damaging free radicals, and as a Moisturizing Agent, supporting skin barrier function.
- Supply Chain Integrity: Produced in FSSC22000 & ISO9001 certified facilities, ensuring full traceability from raw material to finished product, a non-negotiable requirement for serious international importers.
How to Incorporate Into Your Formulations
Integrating our Vitamin E Succinate into your manufacturing process is straightforward. Follow these general steps for optimal results:
- Calculate Required Mass: Determine the precise weight needed based on your target Vitamin E potency (IU per serving/unit) and the selected assay strength (1185 or 1210 IU/g).
- Pre-Dispersion (Recommended for Dry Blends): For homogeneous distribution in powder formulations (e.g., stick packs, protein powders), pre-mix the required amount with a larger portion of a dry carrier like maltodextrin or silica before adding to the main batch.
- Direct Compression (Tablets/Capsules): Due to its favorable flow properties, it can be directly blended with other excipients and active ingredients like L-carnitine USP Standard for tableting or encapsulation.
- Oil-Phase Incorporation (Cosmetics & Topicals): Disperse the powder into the oil or wax phase of creams, lotions, or serums. Gentle heating (below 80°C) can aid incorporation. It pairs excellently with Sodium Hyaluronate for synergistic hydrating and anti-aging effects.
- Quality Verification: Always conduct final product assay testing to verify Vitamin E content meets your label claims, ensuring regulatory compliance and consumer trust.
Application Scenarios
This versatile ingredient is a cornerstone across multiple high-growth industries, offering functional and marketing benefits.
- Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A core component in antioxidant complexes, multivitamin tablets, softgels, and immune-support formulas. Its stability is ideal for blends with other sensitive Plant Extract ingredients.
- Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Used to enrich cereals, nutritional bars, milk powders, and healthy drinks, providing a stable source of Vitamin E without affecting taste or odor.
- Cosmeceuticals & Skincare: A key Cosmetic Raw Material in anti-aging serums, moisturizing creams, sun care products, and lip treatments to protect against environmental stressors and improve skin texture.
- Pharmaceuticals: Employed in formulations where antioxidant protection of the API or the patient's cells is desired, often in niche therapeutic areas.
