Tocopheryl Acetate

Tocopheryl acetate is a form of vitamin E that works as an antioxidant and skin conditioner. It's the acetate version, which makes it more stable in formulas than plain vitamin E. Your skin is constantly exposed to free radicals from sun, pollution, and just existing, and antioxidants help neutralize those. Tocopheryl acetate also conditions your skin, meaning it helps it feel softer and smoother. It's a pretty common ingredient in moisturizers, serums, and sunscreens. It's gentle and well-tolerated by most people, though if your skin is very sensitive you might want to patch test first like you would with anything new.
