About

On an ingredient list it is written as Tocopherol. Its CAS reference is 59-02-9.

In the Formula

It is a conditioning agent. In colour cosmetics it sits at low levels to keep the formula comfortable rather than to treat skin.

The Evidence

Its safety for cosmetic use has been assessed by the expert panel review Safety Assessment of Tocopherols and Tocotrienols as Used in Cosmetics (Fiume MM, 2018, Int J Toxicol, PMID 30235959). We cite what the ingredient is assessed for, not what a finished product was claimed to do.

Honest Limits

In colour cosmetics this sits at low levels as a formula antioxidant. Read it as protection for the product, not as a treatment claim for skin.
