Irritation is rare, but stability issues may affect product formulation. It is recommended to use alongside sunscreen due to increased photosensitivity after UV exposure

강력한 항산화제로, 피부에 수분을 공급하고 보호하는 역할을 합니다. 노화 방지 성분으로 자주 사용되며, 자외선에 의한 손상 완화에도 도움을 줍니다. Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects skin cells by neutralizing free radicals generated by UV radiation and environmental stressors, preventing oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, and DNA. It strengthens the skin's immune system, improves resilience, and supports collagen and keratin production. Vitamin E also moisturizes by hydrating the stratum corneum, preventing moisture loss. It exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting inflammatory mediators, reducing UV-induced skin swelling, erythema, and skin thickness. Tocotrienols, a form of vitamin E, have been shown to protect against pigmentation, wrinkles, and inflammation. Vitamin E also enhances photoprotection and supports skin repair.
