Vitamin E, certified organic

Vitamin E, certified organic (Mixed Tocopherols)

Natural. Produced with certified organic sunflower oil.

This material is a certified organic blend of mixed tocopherols from sunflower. It is standardised in organic sunflower seed oil for easy handling.

Ideal for oil-based formulations. At low percentages it helps slow oxidation of oils. It also offers light skin-conditioning benefits, making it a popular addition to oils, balms, serums and emulsions.

Please note: Vitamin E is an antioxidant, not a preservative. Use with a suitable broad-spectrum preservative in water-containing formulas.

Key points

• Best for: antioxidant protection to help slow oxidation and support shelf life in oils, balms, butters and emulsions.
• Skin feel: provides light conditioning, not intended for high “vitamin E” label levels.
• Suggested rates: 0.05–0.5% typical for antioxidant use, up to 1% for very delicate oils. For skin feel, 0.2–1%.
• Where to add: oil phase or cool down, adding after heat if you prefer.
• What it is: certified organic mixed tocopherols from sunflower, standardised in organic sunflower seed oil. Palm-oil-free and vegan friendly.

Natural vs synthetic
Natural mixed tocopherols from sunflower provide effective antioxidant support for oils. Synthetic dl-alpha materials have lower overall biopotency for skin benefit.

Precautions
Concentrated vitamin E can be irritating neat. Use diluted within a finished formula.
