Vitamin E is a rich source of anti-oxidants that protect the body, skin and hair from free radical damage. An essential nutrient, Vitamin E is found in many foods and supplements. Free radicals can be found in air pollution, cigarette smoke, and high exposure to the UV rays of the sun. Free radicals weaken and over time break down healthy skin cells, and hence Vitamin E helps to prevent this from happening and slows down the aging of cells. Almond seeds, Sweet Almond Kernel Oil, Avocado, Peanuts, Hazelnuts, Spinach, Tomato and Mango are some of the many sources of Vitamin E. When applied topically on the skin, Vitamin E can reduce inflammation, prevent damage from UV rays of the sun, and slow down aging of the skin. It’s important to look out for face, hair and body care products that contain ingredients with Vitamin E.
