Vitamin E , a fat-soluble vitamin, is composed of 8 chemical compounds, including alpha, beta, delta and gamma tocopherols. The combination of these compounds is known as Mixed Tocopherols. Out of these, d-alpha tocopherol is the desirable part of the vitamin, so this component is classified as to how much of that compound is contained in 1g. Vitamin E is present in varying quantities in many plants. The main benefit of Vitamin E for topical use is its antioxidant property to prevent cell damage from aging, sun exposure, scarring, etc. Antioxidants protect vital cell structures by neutralizing and stabilizing the cell membranes by providing the electrons to unstable molecules produced from the environment called “free radicals”. Free radical damage, can occur throughout the entire body, leading to many diseases. Many studies have shown that vitamin E can help decrease the effects of psoriasis, erythema, and may help in reducing the risk of skin cancer. Vitamin E has also been shown to significantly help in the reduction of scarring from wounds and has been shown to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks on the skin.
