DL-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) in Nail Defender
The vitamin E form the brand lists for antioxidant protection and hydration.*
Quick answer
Vitamin E is the sixth and last name on Nail Defender, printed as DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate. The brand lists it as an antioxidant for protection and hydration.*
Think sunflower seeds
Vitamin E is a family of fat-soluble compounds that plants make. You find them in nuts, seeds and plant oils, from sunflower seeds to almonds. Tocopheryl acetate is a steady form that is easy to keep in a bottle, which is why it shows up on so many ingredient lists.
A steady ingredient is a handy ingredient.
The finishing touch
After a purifying acid, two aromatic oils, a leafy plant and four seed and nut oils, the label ends on a vitamin. The brand says it is there for antioxidant protection and hydration.*
That is the whole description, and we do not stretch it.
Friends with the oils
Vitamin E naturally travels with plant oils, so it fits next to the four-oil blend. It also joins aloe leaf gel on the hydration side of the label.
Read the second half of the list as the comfort half.
