TOCOPHEROL - Vitamin E. An antioxidant obtained of edible vegetable oils. Considered the most
important oil- soluble antioxidant and free- radical scavenger. Studies indicate that vitamin E performs
these functions when applied topically. It is also a photoprotectant, and it helps protect the cellular
membrane from free radical damage. In addition, vitamin E serves a preservative function due to its
ability to protect against oxidation. As a moisturizer, vitamin E is well absorbed through the skin,
demonstrating a strong affinity with small blood vessels. It is also considered to improve the skin’s
water- binding ability. In addition, vitamin E emulsions have been found to reduce transepidermal water
loss, thereby improving the appearance of rough, dry and damaged skin. This vitamin is also believed
to help maintain the connective tissue. There is also evidence that vitamin E is effective in preventing
irritation due to sun exposure.
