Vitamin E Oil For Skin & Overall Health

What is Liquid Vitamin E?

You’re probably well-acquainted with vitamin E in capsule form, but have you ever wondered what liquid Vitamin E is used for? Vitamin E oil is widely available in health food stores, online and is distinct from traditional soft gel forms of vitamin E, because it can be applied directly to the skin, in addition to taken orally (depending on the formula). In oil form, Vitamin E’s benefits include; antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection, and topically, moisturizing and skin healing support.

Orally, liquid Vitamin E is ideal for children, the elderly, and those who have trouble swallowing pills. It can also conveniently be added to shakes and smoothies, and the dose is easily adaptable. Topically, as it is primarily used, liquid Vitamin E is ideal as a moisturizer to prevent or treat dry, itchy skin associated with a change of seasons or hormonal fluctuations, as well as atopic dermatitis (eczema), an inflammatory skin condition that causes symptoms such as cracked, flaky, raw, and inflamed skin.

It’s also greatly used as a spot treatment to accelerate wound healing and minimize the appearance of scars including acne scars, stretch marks, chickenpox, and C-section. Vitamin E can also be applied to the nipples during breastfeeding to help soothe chaffing and fissures, as well as to a baby’s bottom to relieve diaper rash and to the scalp to treat cradle cap.

Liquid Vitamin E is also commonly used as an anti-aging topical supplement that can be added to your daily skincare regimen to prevent and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as a mask to moisturize and nourish hair, or applied to the cuticles and nails, or to the lips to maintain moisture naturally.

Vitamin E Oil & Liquid Potency, Forms & Base

Vitamin E Oil For Skin & Overall Health Potency

When it comes to liquid Vitamin E, concentrations vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, with an average dose range of 14,000 to 28,000 IU total per bottle.

Vitamin E Oil Forms For Skin & Overall Health

Liquid Vitamin E can be found in either its natural form; d-alpha-tocopherol, or in synthetic, lab-made form. The natural form is by far the more desirable, offering much greater absorption by the body.

Liquid Vitamin E Base

Because liquid vitamin E can be found in both ingestible and non-ingestible forms, it's important to pay close attention to the ingredients in the base.

 Those that are appropriate for internal use (are ingestible) will be presented in a base of sunflower, safflower, sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil avocado oil, or rice bran oil, or no base at all; simply derived from sunflower seed oil, for instance.

On the flip side, liquid vitamin E that is reserved for topical use (non-ingestible) will have a longer list of non-medicinal ingredients, some more desirable than others (which you’ll also need to pay attention to so as to not add unwanted toxins onto your skin).

Getting The Most Out of Your Vitamin E Oil & Liquid Supplement

Supplementing with oral Vitamin E offers a whole host of health benefits both internally and externally; however, research seems to suggest that using Vitamin E both orally and topically truly multiplies the antioxidant effects and increases photoprotection of the skin (protects from UV radiation damage).
