Q: Why is vitamin E added to oil blends?
A: It is commonly used to support the stability of oils and to add an antioxidant component to the blend.

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

Q: Will it feel thick on the skin?
A: It can feel rich and cushioning, so most people prefer using a small amount or blending it with lighter oils.
