TOCOPHEROL 

Tocopherols provide antioxidant support that helps protect the oils and lipids in skincare, supporting the quality of the ingredients that help keep skin feeling soft and conditioned. They belong to the vitamin E family and are oil-soluble antioxidants associated with many plants and plant oils.

Ingredient PROFILE

Why your skin loves it

Tocopherols are forms of vitamin E, but their value in skincare isn't limited to what happens after a formula reaches your skin.

Plant oils and other lipids can be susceptible to oxidation over time. Tocopherols act as antioxidants, helping protect these lipid-based ingredients against oxidative reactions and supporting their quality and stability.

Because tocopherols are oil-soluble, they're particularly well suited to formulas containing plant oils, emollients and other lipid-rich ingredients.

WHERE IT COMES FROM

Tocopherols occur naturally throughout the plant world and are particularly associated with vegetable oils, seeds and other lipid-rich botanical materials.

Tocopherols used in cosmetics can be obtained from plant-oil-derived materials and concentrated for their antioxidant functionality.

HOW ITS THOUGHTFULLY MADE

Tocopherols can be separated and concentrated from plant-derived oil sources to provide antioxidant functionality for cosmetic formulations.

Their oil-soluble nature allows them to work alongside the very oils and lipid ingredients they help protect, making them particularly useful for maintaining the quality and stability of oil-rich formulas.

WHY IT MATTERS

 We use tocopherols because some of the most important ingredients in a formula work behind the scenes to help protect its quality.

Their antioxidant properties help protect oils and other lipid-based ingredients from oxidation, supporting the stability and quality of the ingredients that contribute to a formula's rich, conditioning feel.
