Vitamin E (Mixed Tocopherols)
What Is It
Vitamin E (Tocopherol) is a fat-soluble antioxidant found naturally in plant oils, nuts, and seeds. While it’s well known for its skincare benefits, it also plays an essential role in maintaining the quality of oil-based products.
The Benefits
-
Supports Oil Freshness – Over time, natural oils are affected by air and light, which can subtly change their scent and texture. Vitamin E helps slow this process, keeping oils in peak condition.
-
Enhances Stability – While not a preservative (it doesn’t affect microbial growth in water-based formulas), it helps maintain the integrity of oil-based products like lip balms and butters.
-
Skin-Nourishing Properties – Vitamin E is known for its soothing and protective qualities, making it a welcome addition to natural skin care.
Why We Love It
At Cult of Bees, we choose high-quality oils and butters that hold up beautifully over time. To give them even greater longevity, we incorporate a touch of Vitamin E (0.5-1%) to help maintain their freshness and performance.
