Product description

Tocopherol, also known as vitamin E, is a powerful natural antioxidant used in cosmetic formulations. It is obtained mainly from vegetable oils (e.g. soybean, sunflower or wheat germ) by physical extraction and purification. In cosmetics, it performs a dual role - it protects the oil components and the finished product from yellowing and rancidity, while also providing protection to the skin from oxidative stress. It is one of the most popular active ingredients in skin and hair care.
