๐Ÿ“– About Tocopherol

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) is the most important lipophilic antioxidant in cosmetics. It protects both the formulation (preventing oil rancidity) and the skin (neutralizing free radicals).

โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

โ“ What's the difference between natural and synthetic Vitamin E?

Natural (d-alpha-tocopherol) is more bioactive but more expensive. Synthetic (dl-alpha-tocopherol) is about half as active.

โ“ Does Vitamin E really help scars?

Evidence is mixed, but it's an excellent moisturizer and antioxidant that supports skin healing.

โ“ Will it make my product go rancid?

No โ€” it prevents rancidity! But it itself can oxidize over time. Store in dark, cool conditions.
