Fat-soluble nutrient vitamin E is revered for its powers as an effective antioxidant and its ability to deliver emollient and nourishing benefits to skin.    Tocotrienols, a ‘super’ form of this vitamin, have proven to be significantly stronger as an antioxidant.  Exceptionally important in the summer, tocotrienols provide our first line of defense against free radicals generated in the skin by UV/ozone rays providing the prevention of skin aging and damage by oxidative rays. Another reason to incorporate this powerful form of vitamin E into your topical regimen is that tocotrienols augment the efficacy of sunscreens containing compounds that reduce penetration of or absorb ultraviolet radiation.  Present in many of Perricone MD topicals like Intensive Moisture Therapy and More than Moisture SPF 30, this ingredient is one that should be part of everyone’s topical sun protection arsenal.
