Vitamin E Oil is derived from Vitamin E, a class of fat-soluble vitamins with antioxidant properties. Antioxidants scavenge free radicals, which are closely linked to a variety of diseases and aging. Vitamin E Oil is different from vitamin E supplements. Vitamin E supplements may prevent coronary heart disease, support immune function, prevent inflammation, promote eye health and reduce the risk of cancer. However, research on these benefits varies, and vitamin E supplements are not for everyone. Vitamin E oil can be applied directly to the skin and is one of the ingredients in many skincare products, especially those claiming anti-aging benefits.
