Vitamin E: The Unsung Hero Your Skincare Routine Needs

When it comes to glowing skin, it’s easy to get caught up in the latest trends. But at Sourced, we believe real results come from ingredients that have stood the test of time—like Vitamin E.

This plant-powered antioxidant is more than a buzzword. It’s a multitasking essential that helps nourish, hydrate, and support your skin from the inside out. Ready to simplify your routine and see results? Let’s get into it.

Why Vitamin E Deserves a Spot in Your Routine

Vitamin E isn’t new—but it’s definitely overlooked. Found naturally in plant oils, nuts, and leafy greens, it’s often labeled as “tocopherol” in your skincare products. It helps keep skin soft, smooth, and resilient. Here’s why it matters:

1. Locks in Hydration - Vitamin E is oil-soluble, which means it’s especially good at sealing in moisture. It reinforces your skin’s barrier, keeping hydration in and dryness out—so your glow stays put.
2. Supports Healing - Dealing with acne scars or stretch marks? Vitamin E encourages cell turnover and skin recovery. While no ingredient erases scars overnight, this one helps soften texture and even tone over time.
3. Soothes Irritation - If you have eczema or psoriasis, Vitamin E’s anti-inflammatory properties offer gentle, plant-based relief. It calms irritated, itchy skin without the need for harsh additives.
4. Smooths Fine Lines - Want to ease into your anti-aging routine? Vitamin E neutralizes free radicals and helps improve skin elasticity. It’s a simple, effective way to support smoother, healthier-looking skin.

How to Use Vitamin E in Skincare

Vitamin E plays well with others. You’ll often see it paired with ingredients like Vitamin C or shea butter (a combo we love). It boosts the effects of other antioxidants and helps keep formulas stable. Here are a few easy ways to work it into your routine:

• Moisturizers & serums: Great for locking in hydration and adding a dewy glow
• Spot treatments: Apply to areas with scarring or dry patches
• Lip and eye care: Gentle enough for the most delicate skin

What Not to Mix with Vitamin E

While Vitamin E is generally skin-friendly, avoid using it alongside strong exfoliants like high doses of glycolic acid or retinol at the same time. These combos can cause irritation. Alternate their use or buffer with a hydrating cream.

Keep It Simple, Keep It Nourished

At Sourced, we believe skincare should feel good—simple, nourishing, and rooted in what actually works. That’s why we infuse ingredients like Vitamin E into our products: to support your skin with care and intention.

Because healthy skin doesn’t need to be complicated. Sometimes, the best glow comes from keeping things simple.
