Biology
A fat-soluble antioxidant that sits within the skin's lipid layers — the 'forte' in Tocoforte (toco- = tocopherol).
Mechanism of action
Interrupts free-radical chain reactions in the membrane, protecting barrier lipids from oxidative damage where water-soluble antioxidants can't reach.
Stability & formulation
Oil-soluble and comparatively stable; protects the more fragile Vitamin C alongside it.
Synergy in the formula
Partnered with Vitamin C in the C+E network — lipid-phase and water-phase defence working as one system.
