One of the best-known and most extensively studied antioxidants for the body and skin. When applied topically, vitamin E appears to be a photo protectant and aids in the protection of the cellular membrane against free radical damage, according to research.  Furthermore, vitamin E emulsions have been shown to minimise transepidermal water loss, restoring the appearance of rough, dry, and damaged skin.
