๐งฌ The Role of Vitamin E in Skin Health
Vitamin E is a powerful fat-soluble antioxidant that plays a vital role in protecting skin cells from oxidative stress. Itโs often referred to as the โskin vitaminโ because of its ability to defend against free radical damage caused by UV light, pollution, and daily stressors.
TRINITY by Arbor Vitamins uses natural d-alpha tocopherol, the bioavailable form of Vitamin E. Many cheaper supplements rely on synthetic versions (dl-alpha tocopherol), which are less effective in the body.
๐ How Does Vitamin E Benefit the Skin?
-
Antioxidant Defence โ Neutralises free radicals, slowing visible ageing like wrinkles and fine lines.
-
Barrier Support โ Enhances the skinโs natural barrier, reducing water loss and dryness.
-
UV Protection โ Helps limit damage from sun exposure (but does not replace sunscreen).
-
Synergy with Vitamin C โ When combined, these vitamins regenerate each other and boost overall antioxidant protection.
๐ฅ Food Sources vs. Supplementation
Vitamin E occurs naturally in:
-
Almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds
-
Avocado
-
Olive oil
-
Spinach & kale
However, intake can be inconsistent โ particularly for those on low-fat diets, since Vitamin E needs dietary fat for absorption.

โ FAQs: Vitamin E & Skin

A: It may help slow premature ageing by reducing oxidative damage, but lasting results require consistent intake and synergy with nutrients like Vitamin C and selenium.
Q: Is it better to apply Vitamin E oil to the skin?
A: Topical Vitamin E can help hydrate and soothe, but supplementation works from within, protecting skin at the cellular level.
Q: Is natural Vitamin E more effective?
A: Yes โ natural d-alpha tocopherol is better absorbed and more active than synthetic dl-alpha tocopherol.
๐ง Summary
Vitamin E is one of the most important nutrients for skin health, helping to fight oxidative stress, protect against UV damage, and maintain hydration. While standalone capsules provide some benefit, combining Vitamin E with synergistic nutrients like Vitamin C, zinc, and selenium โ as found in TRINITY โ offers far more comprehensive skin support.
