VITAMIN E
protective antioxidant
Gentle, nourishing and protective - Vitamin E is a skincare essential, especially for skin prone to dryness, sensitivity or environmental stress. Our Vitamin E skincare collection is designed to support moisture retention, reduce inflammation, and reinforce the skin’s natural barrier.
This powerful antioxidant works to neutralise free radicals, calm irritation, and improve the skin’s ability to heal. We blend Vitamin E into soothing, antioxidant-rich formulas, like our oil-to-milk cleanser and enhancing face oil, as well as curated skincare sets that bring balance and radiance to every routine.
OUR Vitamin E SKINCARE
What is Vitamin E?
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that can dissolve in fats and oils. It’s found in natural plant oils and used in skincare to help protect, hydrate and restore.
Vitamin E is often used to maintain healthy skin and eyes, and strengthen the body's immune system (it’s a natural defence against illness, damage and infection).
For the best skin results, look for skincare with alpha-tocopherol - the most effective form of Vitamin E. It helps protect your skin from environmental stress, soothes irritation, and supports a strong, healthy skin barrier.
Five benefits of Vitamin E for the skin
Antioxidant Protection
Vitamin E helps neutralise free radicals caused by pollution and UV exposure, protecting skin from oxidative stress and premature ageing.
Moisture Retention
This fat-soluble vitamin supports the skin barrier and helps lock in hydration, keeping skin soft, supple and comfortable.
Soothes Irritation
Vitamin E has calming properties that can help ease redness, itchiness, and sensitivity - especially in skin prone to eczema, rosacea, or dermatitis.
Supports Healing
It assists in the skin’s natural repair processes, helping to reduce the appearance of scars, blemishes, and areas of damage over time.
How to include Vitamin E in your skincare routine
Vitamin E works best when used as part of a consistent, balanced skincare routine. It’s particularly beneficial in products that stay on the skin - like oils, creams, and serums - where it can support moisture retention and calm sensitivity.
Start with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser.
Choose a cleanser suited to your skin type. Cream, gel, or oil-based formulas can help preserve your skin barrier without removing Vitamin E-rich surface oils.
Apply after water-based serums.
If you use serums like Vitamin C, layer those first. Vitamin E can help seal in hydration and enhance antioxidant performance when applied afterwards.
Use a Vitamin E-rich oil.
Applying a Vitamin E-rich oil helps to seal in hydration, support skin elasticity, and protect against environmental stress. Try our award-winning, Vitamin E-rich face oil - formulated with Argan Oil for its cell-stimulating and anti-oxidative effects.

Make it consistent.
Vitamin E delivers its best results when used regularly, so aim to apply it daily - especially at night, when skin enters repair mode.
Finish with an SPF.
Daily SPF helps preserve the antioxidant benefits of Vitamin E by shielding skin from UV damage, which is a major source of free radicals. Think of it as locking in your skincare efforts - protecting your skin so that Vitamin E can do its job more effectively. Apply SPF every morning, rain or shine.
How does Vitamin E work on the skin?
Vitamin E protects the skin by neutralising free radicals - unstable molecules that break down collagen and accelerate signs of ageing.
It also reinforces the skin barrier, locking in moisture and reducing sensitivity. Over time, skin is calmer, more supple, and visibly restored.
How to layer Vitamin E ~ which ingredients to use and which to avoid
Layering Vitamin E correctly can maximise its antioxidant and moisturising benefits while helping avoid irritation or ingredient clashes. Here’s what to pair - and what to skip.
Pairs well with:
Vitamin C
Boosts antioxidant defence and brightens.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hydrates deeply, allowing Vitamin E to lock it in.
Peptides
Supports skin structure and elasticity.
Use with caution:
Benzoyl Peroxide
May oxidise Vitamin E because both are unstable in air and light; this reduces the antioxidant benefits of Vitamin E and can create irritation.
Strong AHAs/BHAs
These exfoliants thin the outer skin layer, and layering rich emollients like Vitamin E can trap actives too close to the skin, increasing the chance of stinging or redness.
