What Is Alpha-Tocopherol?
Alpha-Tocopherol is the most biologically active form of Vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant essential for skin health. It protects cell membranes from free radical damage caused by UV exposure and environmental pollution.
As the primary form of Vitamin E used by the body, alpha-tocopherol is particularly effective in skincare. It works synergistically with Vitamin C, with each regenerating the other after neutralising free radicals.
