Tocopherol is one of the naturally present antioxidants called vitamin E. Two types of vitamin E are mainly used in cosmetics - tocopherol (naturally present in wheat germ oil, for example) and tocopherylacetate (synthetic vitamin E). We can also come across d-alpha-tocopherol in the ingredients, which is of natural origin and is best absorbed. All E vitamins act as antioxidants and prevent rancidification of oils and butters. Vitamin E is vital for the human body. Tocopheryl acetate is formed artificially, is more stable and prolongs the life of the product slightly more than natural tocopherol. However, it is less absorbable for the skin. Tocopherol is formed by vacuum separation from vegetable oils and is well absorbed into the skin. Both vitamins E are strong antioxidants, fight the effects of free radicals, prevent premature aging (pigment spots, wrinkles, loss of firmness and elasticity) and reduce scaling skin. They act as preservatives in cosmetics.
