TOCOPHEROL

Tocopherol (vitamin E) is a powerful antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress caused by UV radiation and other environmental influences. In the skin, it protects cell structures such as lipids, proteins and DNA from free radicals and thus supports the prevention of light-induced skin ageing (photoaging).(1-3)
