Functions
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Occlusive
Creates a physical seal on skin to lock moisture in and keep irritants out. The "slugging" ingredient — barrier protection.
Neutralizes free radicals
Prevents moisture loss
Traditional Use
Vitamin E was discovered in 1922. Mixed tocopherols became popular in skincare and supplements starting in the 1950s for their antioxidant and skin-protective properties.
