Plant-based vitamin EUpdated 10 months ago

Plant-based vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, is a fat-soluble vitamin found in many vegetable oils such as wheat germ oil, sunflower oil and avocado oil. It has various benefits for the skin, including:

  1. Antioxidant action: plant-based vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radicals caused by sunlight, pollution and other environmental factors. Free radicals can damage cells and contribute to the development of wrinkles, fine lines and age spots. The antioxidant action of plant vitamin E helps to protect the skin from this damage.
  2. Moisturising effect: Plant-based vitamin E helps to moisturise the skin. It helps to retain moisture in the skin and helps to prevent dry and flaky skin.
  3. Anti-inflammatory effect: Plant-based vitamin E has an anti-inflammatory effect and helps to reduce redness, swelling and skin irritation. It helps to treat acne, eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions.
  4. Improved wound healing: Plant-based vitamin E promotes collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a protein that is important for skin elasticity and helps to keep the skin firm and smooth.

Plant-based vitamin E is contained in our cleansing bars as well as in our serum, toner and our cream.
