Lipid-soluble antioxidant that stabilises formulas and nourishes a stressed barrier.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS · VITAMIN E
Lipid-soluble antioxidant that works inside the formula and on the skin.
Vitamin E, as tocopherol and its esters, performs a dual function in OVESSI formulas: it stabilises other antioxidants, including vitamin C, within the formula itself, and it nourishes the skin’s lipid matrix when applied to the surface. A stressed or sun-exposed barrier depleted of vitamin E loses its resilience faster. Replenishing it topically, particularly in combination with vitamin C, supports the skin’s long-term capacity to protect itself.
Renewal without the sting. Skin feels smoother by the week.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Vitamin E questions
Is vitamin E good for scars?
Vitamin E is widely used for scar care, though the evidence for topical vitamin E directly reducing scar appearance is mixed. Its emollient and barrier-nourishing properties support healthy skin recovery. OVESSI formulas use vitamin E as part of a broader barrier and antioxidant strategy rather than as a standalone scar active.
Can vitamin E cause skin reactions?
Some people experience sensitivity to high concentrations of tocopherol, particularly in heavier occlusive formulas. OVESSI uses vitamin E at concentrations designed for both efficacy and tolerance. If you have a known sensitivity to vitamin E, check the ingredient list before use.
Why does vitamin E pair well with vitamin C?
Vitamins C and E have a synergistic antioxidant relationship. Vitamin C, which is water-soluble, neutralises free radicals in the aqueous environment of the skin. Vitamin E, which is lipid-soluble, neutralises free radicals in the lipid layers. Together they cover the full antioxidant spectrum and each extends the effectiveness of the other.
Is vitamin E in skincare the same as supplemental vitamin E?
The chemistry is the same, but the delivery method differs. Topical vitamin E, as tocopherol or its acetate form, is designed for surface application and skin absorption. Supplemental vitamin E works systemically. Both support overall antioxidant status through different pathways.
