Cosactive Toco Power – innovative vitamin E protection for skin
Antioxidants are indispensable in modern cosmetics. They not only protect the skin from oxidative stress, but also prevent formulations from spoiling. Cosactive Toco Power is an innovative active ingredient that combines the power of natural vitamin E with a skin-active derivative, thus offering a double benefit.
What makes Cosactive Toco Power special?
Cosactive Toco Power is a synergistic blend of tocopherols (vitamin E) and the derivative tocopheryl linoleate/oleate. This combination has a dual effect:
- Product protection: The tocopherols it contains bind free radicals, thus preventing the oxidative deterioration of cosmetic formulations.
- Protection of the skin: The derivative is broken down by skin lipases and releases pure tocopherol, which has a direct antioxidant effect in the cells.
The result: Products remain stable for longer and the skin benefits from an effective anti-ageing and protective factor.
Benefits for skin and cosmetics
The positive effects of vitamin E have long been known. Cosactive Toco Power highlights these benefits with its modern formulation.
- Protection against UV-induced damage and environmental stress
- Improvement of skin hydration
- Promotion of elasticity and smoothing of fine lines.
- Protection of the formulation itself against premature deterioration
- 100% natural origin, vegan and microplastic-free.

1.Tocopherol (vitamin E)
Appearance: viscous, oily liquid
- Origin: plant-based, mostly from sunflower seeds
- Function: powerful antioxidant, protects both the product and the skin
- Physicochemical characteristics: lipophilic, melting point approx. 2–3 °C, boiling point above 200 °C, soluble in oils.
2. Tocopheryl Linoleate/Oleate
- Appearance: clear to slightly yellowish liquid
- Origin: esterification of tocopherol with linoleic acid/oleic acid
- Function: acts as a pro-antioxidant, releases pure vitamin E through enzymatic cleavage
Physicochemical characteristics: lipophilic, melting point below 0 °C, good stability, requires solubiliser in water-based systems.
