The increasing number of skin care products currently available in the market are relying on natural ingredients including, various vitamins and minerals thus, maintain healthy and glowing skin. This has created an immense demand for vitamin E in cosmetic applications. This includes skin product such as sun protection SPF forms incorporating vitamin E and providing UVA as well as UVB protection. For example, In Turkey, Avon launched a facial care range relying on SPF and vitamin E thus, providing sun protection and anti-aging benefits. The range also includes several other minerals and vitamins in order to provide healthy skin. 

Vitamin market across Asia Pacific countries is witnessing a rapid change, where consumers are now more aware with regards to the health benefits of several vitamin types. China is the largest producer of vitamin E across the Asia Pacific market and the country has also expanded its domestic market during recent years mainly attributable to growing pharmaceutical and dietary supplement market across the country. 

Furthermore, in countries such as India, despite an increase in awareness of the importance of several vitamins, only 9% of Indian consumers are  aware of the health benefits of  Vitamin E. While most individuals resort to Vitamin E for common ailments, the true potential vitamin E still witnesses a lack of awareness on a large scale. In this regards, in 2018, Merck Consumer Health India in partnership with leading doctors and Springer publications launched a handbook on Vitamin E, thus educating consumers regarding the importance of incorporating vitamin E into their diets.
