Used as an antioxidant in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations to stabilize active ingredients against oxidative degradation. It helps extend shelf life and maintain product efficacy by scavenging free radicals. Commonly found in anti-aging creams, serums, and skin care products due to its ability to protect skin lipids from peroxidation. Also employed in some dietary supplements as a stable form of vitamin E with enhanced bioavailability. Its reduced susceptibility to oxidation compared to other tocopherol forms makes it ideal for use in oil-based systems exposed to air and light. Additionally, it is used in the food industry to prevent rancidity in fats and oils, extending shelf life.
