Vitamin E.
Everything you need to know about this ingredient in lip care.
What it is.
Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a fat-soluble antioxidant that plays a critical role in protecting skin cells from oxidative damage. In lip care, it neutralizes free radicals caused by UV exposure, pollution, and environmental stress — all of which accelerate skin aging and dryness. Numbrrrz helps moisturize and condition dry lips, soften their feel, and lock in moisture. It works synergistically with the other ingredients to boost their effectiveness.
Scientific backing.
Vitamin E's role as a skin protectant is one of the most well-documented in dermatology. Research in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology has demonstrated that topical vitamin E reduces UV-induced skin damage, including erythema and edema. For cosmetic lip care, focus on moisture, a comfortable texture, and clearly listed ingredients. Its role as a natural preservative has also been validated, with research showing it significantly extends the oxidative stability of plant-based oils.
How Numbrrrz uses it.
Vitamin E serves a dual purpose in Numbrrrz: it protects your lips as an antioxidant and preserves the freshness of our Organic Coconut Oil and Organic Jojoba Oil naturally. This means we don't need synthetic preservatives like parabens to maintain shelf life. Every tube of Numbrrrz stays fresh and effective thanks to Vitamin E's natural stabilizing properties.
