Vitamin E is a powerful natural antioxidant. It is therefore widely used in oil-based phases to help preserve cosmetic preparations from going rancid. Adding vitamin E is highly recommended in oil-based formulations to extend their shelf life. It is also a very interesting anti-aging active ingredient for dry and mature skin. Vitamin E is not exactly a prerservative. It works by neutralizing free radicals, which are responsible for the oxidation and rancidity of fats. It is not an antimicrobial agent that prevents the growth of bacteria or fungi like a traditional preservative.
