What is this
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin used in skincare in two forms: tocopherol, its pure active form, and tocopheryl acetate, a more stable ester. A classic antioxidant, it helps defend skin lipids from environmental stressors while softening skin and supporting its moisture barrier.

Questions about vitamin e
What does vitamin E do for skin?
Vitamin E is a lipophilic antioxidant: it helps neutralize the free radicals generated by sun exposure, pollution and daily stressors before they dull the skin's appearance. Alongside that protective role it softens, conditions and helps skin hold moisture — a rare mix of defense and comfort.
What is the difference between tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate?
Tocopherol is the pure, immediately active form of vitamin E; tocopheryl acetate is a gentler, more stable ester that skin converts after application. The Nine Aurora uses both — stability where formulas need endurance, pure tocopherol where immediacy matters most.
Is vitamin E good for the face?
Yes — vitamin E is gentle, widely tolerated and appears across our day, night and eye formulas. It pairs beautifully with plant oils, whose delicate fatty acids it helps protect, and it suits all skin types at the considered levels used in fine skincare.
Does vitamin E work with vitamin C?
They are a famous pairing: the two antioxidants complement one another, and vitamin C helps regenerate oxidized vitamin E. Even alone, though, vitamin E remains one of the most dependable antioxidants in cosmetics — a quiet guardian of both formula and skin.
