Main functions and use
What is vitamin E for the skin used for? Found in both food and cosmetic products, vitamin E, also known by the INCI name Tocopherol, plays a fundamental role in keeping the skin healthy, young, and protected. Its numerous benefits and extraordinary antioxidant and protective properties make it a valuable ingredient to include in your skincare routine. Let's see how!
Strengthening the skin barrier
One of vitamin E's most important functions is to strengthen the skin barrier: as it is both a humectant and an emollient, it allows the skin to absorb and retain water, keeping it hydrated and with a velvety appearance. This property is particularly useful for drier skin types, which benefit significantly from it, especially during the colder months.
Antioxidant function
Vitamin E is best known for its antioxidant properties, which are essential for protecting the skin from free radicals—waste molecules produced by our bodies that can cause cell damage and premature skin aging. Furthermore, by helping to repair existing cell damage, this vitamin stimulates cell regeneration and improves skin structure, preventing loss of elasticity and the appearance of expression lines.
UV protection
As a result of its antioxidant function, it also provides important protection against UV rays, the main cause of dark spots and visible signs of aging. Acting as a natural shield, vitamin E absorbs them, also reducing the risk of developing skin cancer.
Skin conditioning
Thanks to its chemical and biological properties, this vitamin helps maintain optimal skin health: it improves its appearance and firmness, promotes softness, elasticity, and resilience, and provides an emollient action that smooths and evens out the skin. Thanks also to its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, it has a calming effect that is particularly useful for more sensitive skin.
