Versatile Use: Ideal for formulating lotions, creams, balms, oils, and serums, especially those that are oil-based.

Vitamin E Oil is widely valued in skincare formulations for its dual benefits:
-
Supporting skin health
-
Enhancing product stability
Rich in natural antioxidants, Vitamin E oil may help reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and discoloration. Environmental free radicals can slow scar healing, but applying formulations containing Vitamin E Oil may assist in diminishing visible marks while keeping the skin moisturized and soft.
While its primary role in creams and lotions is as a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin E oil also contributes to skin-softening and moisturizing properties, making it an essential ingredient in both professional skincare formulations and DIY cosmetic products.
Why Add Vitamin E Oil to Your Formulations?
- Protects Against Oxidation – Helps stabilize formulations that contain sensitive actives like:
2 .Supports Skin Repair – May help fade scars, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone.
3. Moisturizing & Softening – Enhances hydration and improves skin texture when incorporated into lotions, creams, balms, and body butters.
4. GMO-Free & Palm-Free – Sourced from natural, plant-based mixed tocopherols, perfect for clean beauty brands and conscious formulators.
Cautions: Keep tightly closed in a cool, dark, dry place as Vitamin E is prone to oxidization.
