Vital E (Tocopheryl Phosphate), is a naturally occurring form of Vitamin E. However, Vitamin E in of itself is an oil with only modest solubility in water. The addition of the phosphate in this formula makes the Vitamin E molecule amphiphilic, meaning that it can dissolve through both oil and water. This is important because our skin has both oil and water layers. Hydration is increased by Sodium Hyaluronate, an efficacious humectant that draws moisture out of the air to create a pampering moisture barrier onto the skin. One molecular measure of Sodium Hyaluronate can sustain 1,000 times its weight in water. This sensual and technologically sophisticated emulsion is an ideal agent of defense against environmental stressors and skin fatigue.
