Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects the skin from various deleterious effects due to solar radiation by acting as a free-radical scavenger. It is found in our sebum (skin oil), which creates a natural barrier to keep moisture in your skin. It is also depleted by ultraviolet light (UV) sources like sunlight, tanning beds, and some fluorescent, halogen, and incandescent light bulbs. Vitamin E acetate is strongly linked to the EVALI outbreak. Vitamin E acetate has been found in product samples tested by FDA and state laboratories and in patient lung fluid samples tested by CDC from geographically diverse states.

Beneficial for most skin types, including those with eczema. Not recommended for super sensitive, very oily, or acne-prone skin.
High dose can cause nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps, fatigue, weakness, headache, blurred vision, rash, bruising, and bleeding.
Patients with coagulation disorders or taking anticoagulant medications should be monitored for increased bleeding tendencies.
Vitamin E is synthesized by plants and must be obtained through dietary sources. It is also found in certain foods like sunflower seeds and oil, nuts, corn oil, spinach, broccoli, kiwi, and mango. Vitamin E acetate is used as an additive, most notably in THC-containing e-cigarette, or vaping, products.

Vitamin E is also believed to stabilize lysosomal membranes, potentially inhibiting events involved in the autoimmune process. Vitamin E is paired with vitamin C, they are even more effective as partners. Vitamin E can help regenerate the vitamin C molecule. Vitamin E may be beneficial at reducing UV damage to skin. It may also be effective at reducing the symptoms of atopic dermatitis and fatty liver disease, and for slowing the progression of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.
