Tocopherol is a form of vitamin E, usually appearing as a clear or amber oily liquid, which can be derived from plant oils.

Tocopherols are a class of organic compounds with vitamin E activity, and come in four forms: alpha-Tocopherol (the primary form most useful to the human body), beta-Tocopherol, gamma-Tocopherol and delta-Tocopherol. Tocopherols can be extracted from canola, soybean, sunflower, safflower and olive oils or synthetically produced. The tocopherol we use is from plant-based sources, which is also known to be more readily absorbed by the body than synthetic versions.

Vitamin E is an important compound in human skin and hair, however it can become depleted from sun and environmental damage. As a form of vitamin E, tocopherol can be used in personal care products for its excellent antioxidant properties, helping to protect and support healthy skin and hair.
