Tocopheryl acetate (ATA), a synthetic form of vitamin E, is commonly found in skincare products and dietary supplements. It's known for its antioxidant properties, helping protect the skin from free radical damage caused by UV exposure and pollution. ATA is more stable than AT, meaning it can better withstand environmental stresses such as heat, air, and light. It also helps keep delicate ingredients in cosmetics stable for longer.
