Vitamin E Beauty Benefits

Vitamin E in Skincare

Vitamin E is perhaps the most important anti-ageing skin vitamin. JASON high potency vitamin E products are formulated to treat a variety of ailments, from fine lines and wrinkles through to stretch marks and scarring. 

Vitamin E is also a potent antioxidant and possesses powerful anti-inflammatory properties. These two actions mean that when applied topically vitamin E may help alleviate some of the symptoms of eczema. Vitamin E topical skincare products have long been promoted by natural practitioners and beauty therapists as a natural remedy for eczema.

A little more about vitamin E's antioxidant properties. It is a peroxyl radical scavenger, which means it reacts with this type of free radical to form a tocopherol radical (vitamin E with the addition of the free radical). When vitamin C is present, it will act as a hydrogen donor to create a stable molecule, leaving the vitamin E molecule whole. When looking for a skincare product with vitamin E, you might want to check that vitamin C is also present, to get the most bang for your buck!

Vitamin E in Haircare

If you think about vitamin E's anti-inflammatory properties, and its efficacy at treating eczema, you will soon realise that haircare products containing vitamin E can help calm scalp conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or even just itchiness or flakiness. Applying vitamin E-rich oils to the scalp, may help moisturise dry scalps but also balance oil production, ensuring your hair doesn't get greasy before its time. 

High performance oils rich in Vitamin E include Avocado, Coconut, Jojoba, and Almond Oil, all of which are packed full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
