Ingredient Info

Tocopherol is a form of vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects skin from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress. It helps maintain skin's natural barrier function and is commonly used in skincare products to prevent premature aging and support overall skin health.



Benefits

  • Protects skin from free radical damage and oxidative stress
  • Supports skin barrier function and moisture retention
  • May help reduce signs of aging caused by UV exposure and environmental damage
  • Works as a lipid antioxidant to prevent degradation of skin oils

Science: Tocopherol (α-tocopherol) is recognized in peer-reviewed research as a key endogenous defense mechanism against oxidative stress in aging skin, particularly from UV-induced damage. Studies confirm it functions as a lipid-soluble antioxidant capable of preventing lipid peroxidation, with established efficacy in cosmetic and therapeutic applications.
