Vitamin
E
(Tocopheral, plant-derived, 950 I.U.)
Also known as Tocopherol. A valuable skin care ingredient. We offer
you plant derived Vitamin E, since we regard as inferior the animal
derived Tocopherol, used commonly. Vitamin E is a popular skin care
ingredient, since it is said to have anti-oxidant qualities that fight
free radicals both in the skin and on the skin's surface. It promotes
rejuvenation, skin elasticity and well-being. Add 1-4% to your massage
or body care blends. It is also effective as a natural preservative,
and we add it to perishable oils to prolong shelf life. (71VITE)

skin is wanted. (71WG)
