AntioxidantSoftensProtects lipids
The classic fat-soluble antioxidant. It protects the skin's lipids and partners naturally with vitamin C.
What it is
Vitamin E (a family of tocopherols) is the skin's principal fat-soluble antioxidant. Because it is oil-loving, it protects the lipid parts of skin and formula, cell membranes and the barrier's own oils, that water-soluble antioxidants can't reach. It also helps keep the oils in a formula from going rancid.
How it works
Protects lipids
It neutralises free radicals within the skin's and formula's oil phase, defending barrier lipids and membranes from oxidative damage.
Works with vitamin C
Vitamins E and C regenerate each other's antioxidant activity, a classic pairing that covers both the oil and water sides of the skin.
The evidence
Vitamin E is a foundational, extensively studied antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent, especially effective in combination with vitamin C.
Worth knowing
Antioxidant protection complements, and never replaces, sunscreen.
