Tocopherol
⚡ Antioxidant ↗⚖️ Stabiliser ↗

Tocopherol is a form of Vitamin E, a naturally occurring antioxidant found in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds. In skincare, it helps protect oils and other ingredients from oxidation while also providing antioxidant benefits to the skin.

🛡️
Safety: Pure Vitamin E can feel heavy and may occasionally be problematic for very acne-prone individuals, but the small amounts used in most formulations rarely cause issues.
