Vitamin E is famous for its anti-aging
properties and it is particularly effective in protection against sun exposure,

anti-inflammatory action

conditioning effect in photo-aging skin
·

Vitamin E is special because it is a strong
antioxidant as well as a great conditioning substance which prevents the loss
of water from the skin, which is why it is usually used in moisturising
products, fighting against dryness. In addition it is soothing and anti-inflammatory.
Vitamin E is stable inside water so it can be easily used inside products. In
case it is that stable that it is used in cosmetics to help with the integrity
of other ingredients.
