Vitamin E | The Protective Antioxidant: Restorative, Potent, Essential

Vitamin E is one of nature’s most trusted antioxidants. Found in the membranes of our skin cells, it plays a vital role in healing, hydrating, and defending against oxidative damage caused by UV rays, pollution, and environmental stressors. While it does naturally help extend the shelf life of our balm, it is far more than a preservative. It is a deeply nourishing and skin-supporting nutrient.

At SALTF0LK, we use a USDA-certified organic, non-GMO, soy-derived form of Vitamin E. Many companies opt for sunflower-based tocopherols, but those often require heavy processing. We chose a soy source because it offers a more potent, stable, and minimally processed alternative when sourced responsibly. Ours is rich in activity, delivering 27,000 IU per ounce, which means only a small amount is needed to help calm inflammation, promote skin repair, and lock in long-lasting moisture.

This ingredient also works in harmony with the rest of our formula. Together with antioxidants found in kelp, spirulina, and jojoba, Vitamin E helps create a barrier that shields skin from premature aging and environmental damage. And because it is already familiar to the body, your skin welcomes it with ease.

At its heart, this balm is about returning to the elemental. With ingredients like this, we’re not just treating the skin, we’re honoring it.
