Vitamin E is required in most cosmetic formulations in very small amounts in order to prevent oils from oxidizing. Vitamin E oil is also heat stable, and is added during the oil phase of your recipes.
Because of its ability to quench free radicals, Vitamin E is considered a protector and healer for the body. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and an excellent moisturizing and rejuvenating ingredient. Studies have shown that Vitamin E reduces UV-induced erythema, edema, sunburn cell formation, and lipid peroxidation. Clinical improvements in the visible signs of skin aging (skin wrinkling) have been documented as well.
