Vitamin E
A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects against oxidative stress and supports the moisture barrier.
- Who it suits
- Boosting the effectiveness of antioxidant and moisturising formulas.
Why is vitamin E used?
Usually there to support another antioxidant, often vitamin C, rather than to be the star of the show.
Worth knowing
You probably won't buy a product because of vitamin E, but it's a genuinely useful supporting player.
