Antioxidant Defence

Vitamin E

Summary

An antioxidant that protects lipids and keeps skin soft and conditioned.

Defence in the formula

Vitamin E sits in our formulas for one job: defending skin against everyday environmental stress. We file it under Antioxidant Defence in this glossary because that is the effect its evidence actually supports, not because it is the most flattering label available.

Defence in the lipid

The mechanism is the one stated in the summary above, and we have deliberately not extended it. Where a supplier or a competitor would reach for a bigger promise, the sentence we publish stops where the research stops.

Defence in the evidence

Our source is a peer reviewed observational or laboratory study, recorded as Fiume 2018 PMID 30235959. You can read it yourself at PubMed 30235959. We grade that as solid support for what the ingredient does.

Defence and its limits

The research behind Vitamin E studies the ingredient, not the finished Opuliss product it sits in. It supports what Vitamin E does. It is not a trial of our formula, and we will not present it as one.

Cosmetic claims describe how skin looks and feels. Nothing here is a medical claim, and nothing here treats a condition.
