VITAMIN E

 

Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, is a commonly used ingredient in skin care products due to its many skin benefits:

Antioxidant: Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin against free radicals and oxidative damage. This helps prevent signs of premature skin aging caused by environmental factors such as the sun's UV rays and pollution.

 

Hydration: Vitamin E is beneficial for skin hydration. It strengthens the skin barrier and helps retain moisture, helping to keep the skin soft, supple and well hydrated.

 

Soothing effect: Vitamin E has soothing properties that calm and reduce skin irritation, redness and mild inflammation. This can be particularly beneficial for skin that is sensitive or prone to inflammatory reactions.

 

Healing: Vitamin E promotes healing of the skin by helping to regenerate damaged tissue. It helps reduce the appearance of scars, imperfections marks and skin blemishes.

 

Protection against sun damage: Vitamin E acts as a protective agent against damage caused by the sun's UV rays. Although it does not replace the use of adequate sun protection, it can help minimize the harmful effects of the sun on the skin.
