Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I get my pure Vit E oil at Sprouts health food store here. I'm sure Whole Foods has it too. I also swear by Avocado oil and the brand I use has Vit E oil in it and nothing else. Ivy -- Where to get pure vitamin E oil. Emu oil.... I have been using pure Vitamin E oil along with my Estace (topical Estrogen) for about 10 years now with great results. Using Estace alone left me too itchy. I use a pea-size amount of Estrace than a similar amount of Vitamin E oil (It is not compounded together by a pharmacy). I have been special ordering from a pharmacy, but the company (Nature Made)no longer makes it any more. It was called Nutra- E pure vitamin E oil. It contains no other ingredients but Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E). I have been searching for another product to replace this, but am finding there are other ingredients besides vitamin E added such as grapeseed oil, calenunda oil, apricot oil etc. I worry that these other ingredients might be irritating to the vulvar skin. Do any of you use a Vitamin E oil in a similar way? What brand do you use? I am considering trying Emu Oil, but don't know if there is a wide variety of quality in brands, etc and if it has been successful in counteracting the harshness of the Estace. I'd be curious to know if any of you have used both Vitamin E oil and Emu Oil and what the difference in results have been. Thank you for any suggestions you can give me. ------------------------------------ **IF REPLYING TO THIS POST, PLEASE REMOVE ORIGINAL POST, Thanks for your cooperation! ** *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 A great source for pure oils, organic herbs, and other bodycare products is Mountain Rose Herbs. I actuallyuse my Vitamin E from them on my face, and have added a few drops to other oil mixes i use since it is anexcellent natural preservative. The label on my bottle reads: 100% Vitamin E oil (mixed tocopherols) vacuumdistilled from soy or sunflower sources.Hollis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks, Ivy. I didn't think of looking at health food stores. We don't have a Whole Foods or Sprouts, but have a few indepently owned health food stores. Thanks for responding. > > I get my pure Vit E oil at Sprouts health food store here.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 , I've been using Vitamin E oil from Trader Joe's grocery -it's actually a blend of soybean, coconut, and vitamin E oils. I put it on at night before going to bed and in the morning too if I'm especially dry. It really is very soothing and helps the redness/inflammation go down if I'm having a flare-up.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thanks for responding . Maybe a few added ingredients in the Vitamin E oil wouldn't be harmful. We have a few health food stores in my area which I need to check out. I'm glad the vitamin E oil has helped sooth your skin. It sure has helped me.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hi ,I'm not sure where to get a pure form of Vitamin E. oil, but if I come across anything, I'll let you know. Have you tried drugstore.com? Also, as for the Emu Oil, Laid in Montana brand is the best that I'm aware of. It is pure and it will also help the estrogen cream absorb better into the skin. Take Care,ChelleI have been using pure Vitamin E oil along with my Estace (topical Estrogen) for about 10 years now with great results. Using Estace alone left me too itchy. I use a pea-size amount of Estrace than a similar amount of Vitamin E oil (It is not compounded together by a pharmacy).
