Tocopherol

Tocopherol, also called vitamin E, is a substance found in nature, in large quantities in wheat germ oil. In cosmetics, vitamin E is used as an antioxidant, anti-radical, as a deodorant and also in sunscreen products. It is often associated with vitamin A, because it protects it from oxidation. The antioxidant action of tocopherol is expressed in particular towards skin fats (cutaneous lipids) and oils sensitive to rancidity. Tocopherol is used in dosages between 0.01 and 0.1%, inserting it in the lipo phase of the emulsions to protect it from oxidation and prevent the oils from becoming rancid.
