Vitamin E USP Cosmetic Grade is a golden yellow to clear brown viscous liquid which will oxidize upon exposure to air and light, resulting in gradual darkening. It may add a tint of color to skincare formulations. This cosmetic-grade Vitamin E is GMO-free and gluten-free.
Studies have shown that Vitamin E plays a crucial role in protecting the skin from environmental factors. The d-alpha-tocopherol in Vitamin E is also known to helps reduce the appearance of fine lines. Vitamin E (USP Cosmetic Grade) will extend the shelf-life of oils (any product with water in it will require a full-spectrum preservative) at 0.5%. To add its benefits to the skin, a minimum of 2% to a maximum of 30% may be added to the formulation.
This particular form of Vitamin E should not be applied directly to the skin, as it is designed specifically as an ingredient to be used in cosmetics.
Solubility: Vitamin E USP is soluble in alcohol and oils. It is insoluble in water.
Cautions: Keep tightly closed in a cool dark, dry, well-ventilated area because this Vitamin E will darken in the presence of high temperatures. It will also degrade in the presence of alkali.

Rating: Je met ce produit dans mes bougies à massage et c'est fou les bienfaits que ça fait à notre peau. J'en appliqué également sur la peau de mes hérissons lorsqu'elle est sèche. Ça réglé de gros problèmes de peau en à peine 2 semaines! Je suis très contente que le format 100g soit revenu car je n'en utilise pas assez pour prendre plus gros!
I put this product in my massage candles and it's crazy how beneficial it is to our skin. I also apply it to the skin of my hedgehogs when it is dry. It solved big skin problems in just 2 weeks! I am very happy that the 100g size has returned because I do not use enough to take bigger!

Rating: Very pleased with the quality of this oil. It was a nice light orange not dark brown from oxidizing with the air.

Rating: I was unsure of which vitamin E to order, the more expensive pharmaceutical grade, Vit E -USP, or the Vit E MT-50 which is much darker in colour but far less expensive. My husband kindly calculated the ratios of alpha tocopherols in the two products and determined that the USP actually has five times the active ingredient as the MT-50. This means that price per active unit, the alpha-tocopherol, is the same for both Vit E products. The real advantage to the USP is that it is actually much lighter in colour and should not therefore cause product discolouration when adding up to 2% for the skincare benefits. So this is why I ordered the more expensive Vit E -USP. If you are adding only 0.1-0.5% to reduce the oxidation rate of the oils then the discolouration issue is less likely to be a problem and then either the USP or the MT-50 will help to preserve the oils from oxidation and from spoiling.
