Vitamin E in Skincare: How It Protects and Heals Your Skin Barrier

We all want healthy, soft, and glowing skin. One powerful ingredient that helps us get there is Vitamin E – a natural antioxidant found in many skincare products. But what does it really do for your skin? And why is it so important, especially if your skin feels dry, tight, or irritated?

Let’s explore how Vitamin E works, why your skin loves it, and how KAJO uses it in products designed to protect and strengthen your skin’s barrier.

What Is Vitamin E and Why Is It Good for Your Skin?

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect your skin from damage. In skincare, you’ll often see it listed as Tocopherol (natural form) or Tocopheryl Acetate (a more stable version often used in creams and cleansers).

Here’s what Vitamin E does:

• 🛡️ Fights free radicals: These come from sun exposure, air pollution, and stress. Vitamin E neutralizes them before they can damage your skin.

• 💧 Keeps moisture in: It strengthens your skin barrier, which means less water escapes from your skin. That’s especially helpful for dry and sensitive skin.

• 🌿 Soothes irritation: Vitamin E calms redness and supports healing, making it great for irritated or inflamed skin.

• 🧬 Helps repair skin: It supports the skin’s natural healing process and works well with other ingredients to repair damage.

How Vitamin E Works With Other Ingredients

Vitamin E is a team player. It works even better when paired with other skincare ingredients:

• With humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, it helps lock in hydration.

• With botanical oils like jojoba, grape seed, and sea buckthorn, it boosts softness and supports a healthy barrier.

• With probiotics, it strengthens your skin’s microbiome and helps it recover faster.

• With niacinamide and bakuchiol, it helps brighten skin, smooth fine lines, and repair the skin barrier.

What Science Says About Vitamin E

Clinical studies show that Vitamin E reduces water loss (TEWL) and increases skin hydration, especially when used with emollients (like oils and butters). It also:

• Improves collagen production.

• Reduces sun damage when combined with other antioxidants.

• Helps skin feel smoother and more elastic.

In cleanser trials, Vitamin E reduced water loss by up to 10%, while pairing it with oils increased skin hydration by up to 40%.
