In 1936, it was discovered that tocopherol possessed properties similar to those of vitamin E. It is a clear viscous brown liquid with a faint odor. It is used as a dietary supplement and also in medicines to cure some ailments. Vitamin E is used in a variety of cosmetic products. It functions as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent.

Use & Benefits:
- Antioxidant Protection: Tocopherol functions as an antioxidant, generally used at a concentration of 0.5-2.5%, depending on the product type. It combats free radicals induced by exposure to radiation, pollution, and hazardous chemicals.
- Skin Restoration: Free radicals hamper the skin's restoration process by breaking down collagen. Tocopherol helps reduce inflammation, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin infections like acne and dark patches.
- Youthful Appearance: Antioxidants help reduce visible signs of aging, brighten the skin, increase collagen synthesis, and improve overall skin health and youthfulness.
- Moisture Retention: It increases the water-binding capacity of the skin, retains moisture, and keeps the stratum corneum layer hydrated, enhancing skin conditioning.
- Versatility in Use: Tocopherol is used in various formulations, including creams, lotions, gels, make-up, sunscreens, and other skin and hair care products.
