Vitamin E Cream: Make it a daily routine

Vitamin E found in Sally B's Skin Yummies creams

Vitamin E - almost 100 years of success in skincare creams

Relatively new to the skincare world, Vitamin E was discovered in 1928 and saw its first success in 1938 when it was put to its first use as a therapeutic agent to help aid in the growth of premature babies. After a decade of research, Vitamin E's many biological functions were established, including boosting immune health, reducing cholesterol, and reducing the risk of developing cancer – though it is best known to us for its impressive antioxidant functions.

Vitamin E is available in several forms – some natural and others synthetically produced – but the form used in Sally B’s creams and moisturizers is derived from non-GMO soybeans. Through a vacuum distillation process, thick, caramel-colored oil is extracted. Along with its antioxidant properties, Vitamin E is an efficient product stabilizer and keeps the oils, mostly organic, in our products from turning rancid. In the non-toxic product world, ingredients like this are essential because we don't use chemical preservatives.

Antioxidants are essential players in the fight against the signs of aging. They help neutralize free radicals, which cause wrinkles, dark spots, and, in severe cases, cancer (to learn more about antioxidants and free radicals, click here). There are many different types of antioxidants. Vitamin C, for example, is particularly powerful against free radicals caused by pollution and cigarette smoke. Vitamin E is a primary defender against oxidation. Studies show that when topically applied, Vitamin E can reduce UV-induced skin damage.

Does Vitamin E Cream make a difference?

Vitamin E is one of the most powerful antioxidants our body uses to fight free radicals yet is something that we don't naturally produce. Instead, we introduce it into our bodies through diet and skincare products. With a balanced diet and conscious skincare choices, you can receive the recommended amounts of Vitamin E (see what the Mayo Clinic recommends) without too much thought and planning, but it is still important to know about this age-fighting, skin-saving ingredient.

Keeping Vitamin E a regular part of your lifestyle, through both food (think almonds, spinach, and sunflower seeds) and skincare choices, is an important element in your clear and healthy skin journey. While there are plenty of antioxidants to help repair free radical damage, Vitamin E helps you take a more proactive role and helps to keep free radicals from forming in the first place.

How can I add Vitamin E to my beauty routine?

Our body’s natural line of defense is antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that are designed to interact with free radicals safely and terminate their evil little process. Vitamins E (primary defender against oxidation) and C (particularly powerful against free radicals caused by pollution and cigarette smoke) neutralize free radicals by presenting themselves to the free radicals and donating one of their electrons, making it stable and happy. Contrary to how free radicals are formed, antioxidants remain stable, even with the loss of an electron.

While your body naturally produces antioxidants, its ability to do so is affected by age, diet, and environmental factors, so it is up to you to ensure that you are fueling your diet with antioxidant-rich food, high in Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and Beta-Carotene.

Berries. Blueberries top the list as the food that packs the most antioxidant punch, but cranberries, blackberries, and strawberries are just as good for you.

Veggies. Sweet potatoes, russet potatoes, artichokes, and broccoli are all excellent sources of Vitamin E, but for maximum antioxidant intake, leave on the peels and keep cooking to a minimum. For all your Beta-Carotene needs, stock up on carrot (mmm…carrot juice!).

Drink Up. Green Tea is an abundant source of antioxidants. Other beverages like coffee, red wine, and pomegranate juice can also boost your antioxidant levels.
