Vitamin 'E' Oil 1/4 Oz. (D-Alpha tocopherol)

Product Details

Vitamin E oil, while not technically an essential oil used in aromatherapy, offers a unique set of properties valuable for the practice. Its most prominent benefit is its richness in antioxidants. These antioxidants help combat free radicals, which damage skin cells and contribute to aging. In aromatherapy, this translates to a carrier oil that can extend the shelf life of essential oils when blended together for massage or diffusers.

Medicinally, topical application of vitamin E oil is used to promote healing of minor wounds and scars, and may soothe irritation caused by eczema or psoriasis.

Due to its neutral scent and nourishing properties, vitamin E oil makes a great base for diluting potent essential oils before topical application. This is especially useful for those with sensitive skin. Common pairings include lavender oil for relaxation, tea tree oil for minor skin irritations, or citrus oils for an uplifting effect.
