I need to solubilize natural vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) in aqueous solution. Since vitamin E is very thick, I am unable to solubilize.Can someone please suggest a way to solubilize natural vitamin E in aqueous solution?
Look for pharmaceutical formulae with the word aquosum, they are developed for solubilisation of fat soluble vitamine like A and D in aqueous solutions

Dispersants (mistakenly promoted as solubilizer) are somewhere between solubilizers and emulsifiers. They can disperse very low concentrations of oils (such as vitamin E or even a triglycereide) in water. They don't completely solubilize the oil though (the product isn't completely transparent). They disperse the oil in a translucent to milky solution which remains stable for a reasonable period of time.
