Vitamin E is a popular ingredient in skincare. It's found in many cosmetic formulas. But why? What does vitamin E do for our skin?
Discover why Théobroma uses this ingredient in its exceptional skincare products.
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 whole grains.
At the heart of Théobroma's 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 also improving the stability of formulas. Thanks to its strong antioxidant properties, vitamin E strengthens the skin barrier and protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals, revealing a fresh, smooth, and radiant complexion.
It's also possible to consume vitamin E for an inside-out beauty boost . You'll find it in rapeseed, sunflower, and olive oil, as well as in nuts and seeds. Sprinkle this ingredient on your salads for an effortless way to get your vitamin E!
The benefits of vitamin E on the skin
We use vitamin E in the majority of our cosmetic products because of the many benefits of vitamin E on the skin.
Rich in antioxidants
The main benefit of vitamin E is its high antioxidant content . It fights oxidative stress and premature cellular aging caused by free radicals. These free radicals can come from several factors, such as stress, UV rays, pollution, or even a poor diet.
By using vitamin E in our skincare products, we are therefore helping to combat premature skin aging.
Maintaining skin hydration
Vitamin E helps to maintain sufficient sebum and therefore to strengthen the skin's hydrolipidic film , which acts as a protective barrier.
Not only is the skin better protected against external aggressors, but it also retains moisture more effectively. In short, vitamin E helps the skin receive the hydration it needs and then helps it retain that hydration.
Anti-inflammatory
Vitamin E helps to limit skin inflammation , whether due to excessive sun exposure, stress, or hormonal imbalances.
If your skin is prone to blemishes or redness, using vitamin E is recommended. It stimulates skin healing by promoting cell regeneration, which helps to reduce the appearance of scars caused by acne and other skin imperfections.
Protection from the sun's rays
Even in winter, your skin is exposed to the sun's harmful rays. Vitamin E stimulates the skin's natural photoprotective action.
It therefore helps to protect the epidermis from UV rays, but does not replace sunscreen.
Hair fiber protection
Hair can also benefit from the properties of vitamin E!
Xo-Chiq Nourishing Oil , composed of 7 precious oils, is highly concentrated in vitamin E and is suitable for both skin and hair. This natural beauty oil is a true hydrating and illuminating elixir for your skin and hair.
When applied to the lengths of the hair, it helps to strengthen and protect the hair fiber from external aggressions.
