Functions
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Neutralizes free radicals
Prevents moisture loss
Traditional Use
Vitamin E was identified in 1922; the acetate form was synthesized in the 1930s for improved stability in cosmetics. Became widely used in skincare and anti-aging products from the 1970s onward for its antioxidant properties.
