What are Tocotrienols?

Tocotrienols belong to the Vitamin E family and are among the most powerful natural antioxidants. Unlike conventional Vitamin E (tocopherol), Tocotrienols possess unsaturated side chains that make them 40 to 60 times more effective.

While synthetic Vitamin E is used in many cosmetic products, at TocoCare we exclusively use natural Tocotrienols from rice bran oil.
