Disclosed is a process for preparing a powder comprising the steps of(i) providing at least one oily or waxy component (first component)- being in liquid form at ambient temperature or - being a solid or semi-solid at ambient temperature and having an onset of melting in the temperature range from 15 Deg. C to 40 Deg. C, (which may include, for example, vegetable, animal, mineral and synthetic oils or waxes, e.g. silicon oils or waxes, poloxamers liquid at room temperature, polyethyleneglycols with molecular weight < 3000, and mixtures thereof),(ii) providing at least one second component having a melting point or melting range above ambient temperature and comprising or consisting of polyalkykene glycol, (iii) forming a homogenous liquid mixture comprising said at least one first component and said at least one second component by stirring and heating the mixture to or keeping the mixture at a temperature in the range from above the melting point or melting range of said second component to 120 Deg. C, (iv) transferring the liquid mixture to at least one spray congealing unit by at least one transfer unit, which is adapted to keep the mixture in its liquid form during its transfer, (v) spray congealing said mixture, and (vi) isolating the powder obtained upon spray congealing. Particularly described is the use of the disclosed method to prepare powdered forms of Tocopherols Additionally the use of the powder obtained to prepare a dosage form is disclosed
