Vitamin E is a popular ingredient in skin care. It is indeed found in many cosmetic formulas. But why ? What does vitamin E bring to our skin?
Find out why Théobroma uses this ingredient in its exceptional treatments.
What is vitamin E?
Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, is also known as tocopherol. It is naturally present in vegetable oils, nuts, wheat germ and even whole grains.
At the heart of Théobroma formulas: cocoa. A true treasure of nature, it is the fruit richest in vitamins and minerals (ORAC measurement), thus concentrating a high content of vitamin E.
Vitamin E, a rather oily substance, plays a crucial role in cosmetic products as an anti-aging and antioxidant active ingredient, while improving the stability of formulas. Thanks to its strong antioxidant power, vitamin E strengthens the skin barrier and protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals, revealing a fresh, smooth and radiant complexion.
It is also possible to consume vitamin E, for an In & Out beauty action . You will find it in particular in rapeseed oil, sunflower oil or olive oil, as well as in nuts and seeds. Sprinkle your salads with this ingredient to eat it effortlessly!
The benefits of vitamin E on the skin
We use vitamin E in the majority of our cosmetic treatments because of the many benefits of vitamin E on the skin.
Rich in antioxidants
The main virtue of vitamin E is its richness in antioxidants . It fights against oxidative stress and against premature cellular aging due to free radicals. These can come from several factors, such as stress, UV rays, pollution or even poor diet.
By using vitamin E in our care, we therefore help to fight against premature aging of the skin.
Maintaining skin hydration
Vitamin E helps maintain sufficient sebum and therefore strengthens the skin's hydrolipidic film , which acts as a protective barrier.
Not only is the skin better protected against external aggressions, but it also retains better hydration. In summary, vitamin E helps the skin receive the hydration it needs, and then it helps retain that hydration.
Anti-inflammatory
Vitamin E helps limit skin inflammation , whether due to too much exposure to the sun, stress or a hormonal situation.
If your skin is prone to blemishes or redness, the use of vitamin E is recommended. It stimulates skin healing by promoting cell regeneration, which helps reduce the appearance of scars caused by acne and other skin imperfections.
Protection from the sun's rays
Even in winter, your skin is prone to the sun's harmful rays. Vitamin E stimulates the skin's natural photoprotection action.
It therefore helps to protect the epidermis from UV rays, without replacing sun protection.
Protection of the hair fiber
Hair can also benefit from the benefits of vitamin E!
