What is Vitamin E?

Vitamin E is a naturally occurring, fat-soluble antioxidant found in many plant oils, seeds and nuts. In skincare, it is most commonly used in the form of Tocopherol, where it helps defend the skin against free radicals generated by everyday environmental exposure.

Alongside its antioxidant properties, Vitamin E is prized for its ability to nourish and condition the skin, helping it feel softer, smoother and better hydrated. It also helps protect delicate botanical oils within skincare formulations, contributing to product stability and freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Vitamin E do for the skin?

Vitamin E helps protect the skin from environmental stressors while nourishing and conditioning the skin. It supports a healthy skin barrier and leaves skin feeling softer and smoother.

Is Vitamin E suitable for all skin types?

Yes. Vitamin E is generally suitable for most skin types, including dry and mature skin. As with any skincare ingredient, we recommend patch testing before first use.

Can Vitamin E be used every day?

Absolutely. Vitamin E is commonly included in daily skincare products and can be used both morning and evening.

If Vitamin E comes from plant oils, is it safe if I have a nut allergy?

Vitamin E used in skincare is commonly derived from highly refined vegetable oils such as soybean or sunflower. Because refining removes most of the proteins responsible for allergic reactions, it is generally well tolerated. However, if you have a known or severe allergy, we recommend consulting your healthcare professional and performing a patch test before use.
