It is the oil pressed from seeds and nuts that have high concentrations of Vitamin E. It is a powerful antioxidant that is excellent for preventing scarring, healing burns, and revitalizing aged skin. It works wonders with excessive dryness and is also beneficial on skin and nails. And because of this, Vitamin E oil is found in many creams and lotions, especially anti-aging moisturizers and skin brighteners. And safety note- always use diluted Vitamin E Oil on your skin- it's best to just add a few drops to your moisturizer (it's all you need)!
