Vitamin E Oil (70% Tocopherol)

What is vitamin E oil?

This golden yellow oil (extracted from sunflower oil) is a strong antioxidant and actually an indispensable addition to your DIY recipes. It prevents your homemade products from going rancid, and is also a great addition to your skin.

Vitamin E helps sunburnt skin, helps prevent premature skin aging, nourishes intensively and makes your skin feel supple. In addition, vitamin E softens scars and stretch marks, allowing them to fade and prevent them. It also stimulates the production of collagen and the production of new skin cells.

Usage

To use vitamin E oil as a natural antioxidant in your DIY products, use between the 0.5% and 1.0% of your total product. Per 100 ml of oil, this is between 0.5 and 1 ml of vitamin E oil (so it lasts a long time). 

When used pure on your skin, apply a little of the oil where necessary to cleansed skin and massage the oil in until it is absorbed. Vitamin E oil can also be applied as a serum under your eyes, apply a drop with a fingertip to the skin under your eyes and gently pat it into your skin.

Please note: The product may be red in color due to (naturally occurring) carotenes. This can leave a light yellow/orange color when used purely, which will absorb on its own. Furthermore, the structure is fairly viscous.
