Vitamin E – 10 ml, 30 ml and 50 ml

A powerful natural antioxidant for skin care and protecting plant oils
Vitamin E (tocopherol) is one of the strongest natural weapons against premature skin ageing. In natural cosmetics it has a dual role: it protects the skin from oxidative stress and at the same time prevents oils and butters from going rancid. A colourless, thick liquid, it is a versatile addition to natural formulations.

Key benefits

• Has an antioxidant effect and neutralises free radicals

• Extends the shelf life of natural oils, butters and serums

• Helps reduce the visibility of wrinkles and signs of ageing

• Soothes irritated skin and speeds up its renewal

• Suitable for sensitive, dry, mature or damaged skin

• Useful in creams, serums, butters, oils, lip balms and hair products

Use

Vitamin E is added in the final phase of making homemade cosmetics. The recommended dose is 0.5 to 2% of the total weight of the product.

Suitable for:

• face and body creams

• massage oils and butters

• lip balms

• anti-wrinkle serums

• hair and scalp care products

• after-sun products

• all products that contain plant oils (to extend shelf life)

Tocopherol is the natural form of vitamin E, found in plant oils, especially in wheatgerm, sunflower and almond oil. In cosmetics it acts as a skin protector and an anti-ageing ingredient, as it inhibits the oxidation of fats, thereby preventing the breakdown of ingredients and the deterioration of the products' scent.

On the skin it has a soothing, anti-inflammatory and regenerating effect, which is why it is often used in formulations for irritated, dry or flaky skin. It also helps with the healing of scars, reduces the feeling of tightness and restores the skin's protective barrier.

It is completely natural, with no added fragrances or synthetic additives.

• For external use only

• Use in small amounts, following the recommendations

• Do not apply undiluted directly to damaged skin

• Store in a dark, cool place

• Keep out of the reach of children
