Essentially Natural Vitamin E Oil is a concentrated, oil-soluble form of vitamin E supplied in sunflower oil for easy use in skincare and formulation. It is commonly added to facial oils, body oils, balms, butters, and creams where a richer skin feel and antioxidant support are wanted. This is not water soluble, so it belongs in oil phases and anhydrous products rather than water-only formulas. It is also widely used in small amounts to help slow the oxidation of oils in DIY blends.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock this vitamin E because it is one of the most useful small-addition ingredients in oil-based formulation. It brings flexibility to everyday DIY making, works well across many product types, and helps support the freshness of oil blends without adding unnecessary complexity.

Q: Why is vitamin E added to oil blends?
A: It is commonly used to add antioxidant support and to help slow the oxidation of oils.

Q: Can I use it in a toner or facial mist?
A: Not directly. It is oil soluble and needs a suitable emulsifier or solubiliser for water-based systems.

Q: Will it feel rich on the skin?
A: It can feel more cushioning than a very light oil, so small amounts are often enough.
