Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Tocopherol, commonly known as Vitamin E, is a natural antioxidant derived from plant oils. It helps protect oils and butters in formulations from oxidation while also conditioning and nourishing the skin. At Fyrn, we source our Vitamin E from Mountain Rose Herbs, ensuring it is plant-based, non-GMO, and gentle for sensitive skin.
