Ingredient

Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

A fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage and supports a healthy-looking skin barrier.

What it does

Helps neutralize free radicals, supports the skin barrier, and works synergistically with Vitamin C and ferulic acid to amplify overall antioxidant protection.

Glow notes

Vitamin E (tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate) is a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps defend the skin's lipid layers from oxidative damage caused by UV exposure, pollution, and environmental stress. It also acts as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin's surface. Vitamin E is well-known for its synergistic relationship with Vitamin C — when formulated together (as in C.E.

Glow), each vitamin stabilizes and boosts the effectiveness of the other, resulting in enhanced antioxidant protection compared to either ingredient alone. Wheat germ oil, used in Dew Crème, is a particularly rich natural source of Vitamin E.
