The truth about Vitamin E

Dive into what the ingredient is, how it works, and its myths we’ve busted.

What is Vitamin E?

Found in nuts, seeds and fish, Vitamin E or tocopherol has a good claim on being the ultimate skin vitamin. Produced by the body as its own skincare oil, Vitamin E supports the skin barrier, fights free radicals, accelerates healing and protects against UV rays.

How does Vitamin E work?

E for effective

Vitamin E keeps skin hydrated by building the skin barrier. Its antioxidant power prevents ageing caused by pollution and sun and it soothes and heals by acting against inflammation.

Let’s get topical

Vitamin E supplements may be useful, but skincare formulations are designed to be active in the skin. Look for a Vitamin E skincare product that’s been researched and tested for efficacy.

‘‘Vitamin C and E are the same’’

MYTH BUSTED

Just good friends

While they are both antioxidants, they do different things in different ways, Vitamin C and Vitamin E are a powerful combination, supporting each other’s skin-positive effects. Vitamin C brightens skin by targeting pigmentation and dark spots and Vitamin E is an excellent hydrator.

‘‘Vitamin E is only for skin’’

MYTH BUSTED

Good hair play

Skincare isn’t enough for this overachiever - it’s working on your hair too. Use it diluted in a carrier oil. 2 to 3 drops of Vitamin E in a coconut oil is a great way to boost the growth and strength of healthy hair. Apply to your scalp after showering.

How to integrate Vitamin E into your routine

E for easy

Since it’s an oil itself, Vitamin E works well in oils and moisturisers. It can be a little greasy, so apply it in the evening. Look for products that combine Vitamin E with its perfect partner Vitamin C. Sensitive? Try it in a moisturiser before anything else.
