Natural vs. Synthetic Vitamin E Oil – What’s the Difference? The majority of vitamin E products purchased online contain the synthetic form of vitamin E oil. Synthetic vitamin E is a colorless, odorless oil derived from petroleum sources. It is cheap and readily available but, due to its chemical structure, it is only about 12% as potent as natural vitamin E. It is also not as bioavailable (meaning easily used by the body) as its natural counterpart. Natural vitamin E oil is dark honey to amber colored with a distinct musky smell. It is more expensive to produce than synthetic oil but offers unparalleled results in skincare. Bos Essentials natural vitamin E oil is the most potent form of vitamin E on the market (D-Alpha Tocopherol). It has a thick, honey-like consistency which can be applied directly to the skin or mixed in a carrier oil for lighter coverage. Topical Vitamin E offers a broad range of healing and skin soothing benefits Wound Healing - Vitamin E’s moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties create an ideal environment for rapid wound repair Reduces the Appearance of Scars – Topical vitamin E’s ability to reduce the visibility of surgical scars, acne scars, burns, and stretch marks make it a staple in over-the-counter scar creams Intense Moisturization - Topical Vitamin E helps alleviate the dryness, itchiness, and flaking associated with conditions such as eczema (atopic dermatitis) and psoriasis Anti-Aging and Wrinkle Prevention – Topical vitamin E oil can help fight free radicals, reduce UV damage, and plump up aging, wrinkled skin How to use Bos Essentials Natural Vitamin E Oil For intense healing and hydration, apply a thin layer of vitamin E oil directly to small areas of skin such as the lips, cuticles, scars, and elbows Mix with a carrier oil such as jojoba, almond, coconut or even olive oil and apply to clean, damp skin for full body hydration Apply a few drops to conditioning masks, body creams, soaps or other topical skin and haircare products FDA Disclaimer These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
