Palma Christi is an excellent source of natural vitamin E. The properties of this vitamin are particularly interesting in terms of cosmetic benefits.

- Anti-free radicals:
One of the natural functions of vitamin E is to protect the organism from the effects of free radicals.
These agents are responsible for the degeneration of the body's tissues.
Regular application of vitamin E slows down the aging of the skin.

- Moisturizing:
By reinforcing the protective lipids on the skin's surface, vitamin E improves the skin's capacity to act as a barrier; moisture loss is therefore diminished with each application. The anti-aging properties of vitamin E are a consequence of its moisturizing activity: by increasing the skin's ability to retain water, vitamin E enhances the suppleness of the skin and wrinkles diminish in amplitude--skin becomes softer and more elastic.

- Anti-inflammatory:
A number of pharmacological studies have demonstrated this anti-inflammatory activity with local application, showing that vitamin E diminishes erythema and oedema.
It follows that vitamin E has a positive effect on sunburn, among others.

- Improved cutaneous microcircultion:
Vitamin E improves microcirculation by facilitating blood vessel flow. This permits a greater quantity of nutrients to reach the skin as well as a more efficient elimination of waste products.
The effects of vitamin E on hair growth can be attributed to this circulatory action at the level of the hair root.
