Vitamin E, Alfa-tocoferol, is a liposoluble vitamin and occurs by nature in vegetable oils and cereal sprouts. In dermatology it helps against eczemas, inflammatory reactions of the skin, external injuries and burns, and negative effects of various radiations. Following application it supports hydration, suppleness and creaminess of the skin, and furnishes a certain protection from harmful types of radiation. All its effects relate to an antioxidative activity – the ability to remove free radicals originating as a consequence of various radiations and chemical or other undesirable influences of the environment. Vitamin E has an antioxidative effect in blood lipids and in cell membranes. When applied on the skin, it protects complexion cells from damage, slows down the ageing and degeneration of cells, and supports elasticity, creaminess of the skin and youngness of the complexion.
