Vitamin E
Vitamin E, called tocopherol on the ingredient list, is a natural antioxidant found in plant oils. It helps protect the skin against daily environmental stress, keeps it soft and supports its barrier. It also keeps the plant oils in a formula fresh. You find it in nine Abloom products.

What is it?
How it works
What does it do for your skin?
Antioxidant protection
Vitamin E helps neutralise free radicals from sunlight and pollution, and so helps protect the skin against daily environmental stress.
Softens and supports the barrier
As a fat soluble vitamin it helps keep the skin's protective layer supple, so the skin loses less moisture and feels softer.
Keeps plant oils fresh
Vitamin E protects the natural oils in a formula against oxidation, so the product keeps its quality for longer.

Frequently asked questions
Is vitamin E the same as tocopherol?+
Yes. Tocopherol is the name of vitamin E on an ingredient list. You sometimes also see tocopheryl acetate, a more stable variant. Abloom uses tocopherol.
Can you put pure vitamin E oil on your face?+
You can, but pure vitamin E oil is thick and sticky and can feel heavy. In a blend with light plant oils, as in a face oil or cream, it is easier to use and spreads better.
Does vitamin E protect against the sun?+
No. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, not a sun filter. It helps the skin cope with stress from UV light, but you still need an SPF. Our Luminous SPF 20+ combines zinc oxide with vitamin E and vitamin C.
Can you combine vitamin E and vitamin C?+
Yes, they make a strong pair. Vitamin C and vitamin E support each other as antioxidants, which is why you often find them together, as in our SPF 20+.
Is vitamin E suitable for oily skin?+
Yes, in a light formula. Vitamin E in a cleanser, a light cream or a serum suits oily and combination skin. Very rich, pure vitamin E oil can feel too heavy on oily skin.
Is vitamin E good for dry skin?+
Yes. Vitamin E helps keep the skin barrier supple and hold on to moisture, which dry skin welcomes. Combine it with a nourishing cream or oil, such as our Day Cream or Miracle Oil.
