Tocopheryl lineoleate refers to the ester between the linoleic acid (octadeca-9,12-diene acid) and the tocopherol(vitamin E) as the alcoholic component of the ester compound.

The substance is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as an antioxidant (inhibits oxidation processes caused by oxygen and thus the degradation and spoilage of ingredients).
