What it is
Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a fat-soluble antioxidant used as a stabilizer for other actives (notably vitamin C) and as a barrier-supportive lipid. It is rarely the hero of a K-beauty product but appears almost ubiquitously as a supporting ingredient in serums, creams, and balms.
한국어 설명
비타민 E(토코페롤)은 지용성 항산화제로, 다른 활성 성분(특히 비타민 C)의 안정화제 + 장벽 보호 지질로 사용된다. K-뷰티 제품의 단일 메인은 아니지만 세럼·크림·밤의 보조 성분으로 거의 보편적으로 등장한다.
