The Power of Vitamin E Oil

During the research and development part of soap creation, AnnaKate Soaps seriously considers each and every additive we put in our soaps. From colors to scents to exfoliants, each addition to the soap is carefully planned.

One additive we particularly enjoy is Vitamin E oil, which is found in The Breakfast Bar and Massaloe. Vitamin E is found in many beauty products from soaps to lotions to hair products to body scrubs, do you've probably come across it before. Vitamin E oil is an anti-oxidant, meaning it helps stop oxidization of other molecules in the skin. Oxidization of molecules can lead to a buildup of free radicals, which can cause further damage to cells.

The four benefits that vitamin E oil gets the most attention for are anti-aging, sun protection, scar healing and moisturizing. During the summer months, using a soap with Vitamin E oil can really help prevent damage to your skin after a day in the sun. You can also use it to prevent sun damage before it happens. Some Vitamin E enthusiasts claim that adding some Vitamin E oil to sunscreen will help increase the sunscreen's effectiveness.

However you use it, or whatever you use it for, Vitamin E is a great treat for your skin!
