Tocopheryl Nicotinate is the nicotinic ester of tocopherol. In emulsions it is an oil-soluble vitamin E ester, not free tocopherol and not Tocopheryl Acetate. This grade is a pale yellow to yellow viscous oil that mixes into oils.

Day creams and treatment oils continue to specify this INCI when the oil phase needs this ester rather than the acetate. Cosmetic-grade Tocopheryl Nicotinate remains a high-interest bulk antioxidant when the assay is on the COA.

Key Benefits & Applications

Tocopheryl Nicotinate is an oil-soluble vitamin E ester used in leave-on oil phases.

• Blended into the oil phase of creams, lotions, and treatment oils
• Distinct from Tocopheryl Acetate; the nicotinate is a different ester
• Fits day creams that already carry a separate sunscreen filter
• Pairs with ferulic acid when the chassis uses two oil-phase antioxidants
• Typical use level: 0.1–1.0% in the finished formula

Formulation Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to add Tocopheryl Nicotinate to the oil phase.

• Suggested Use Level: Typical 0.1–1.0% in the finished formula
• pH Range: Suggested 4.0–7.0 for the finished emulsion
• Addition: Blend into the oil phase before emulsification
• Stability: Protect from light and air; nitrogen headspace helps in bulk
• Combine with Ferulic Acid when a second oil-phase antioxidant is needed beside this ester.
