I get low alpha tocepherols (Vitamin E) from From Nature With Love. It is

cheaper than " drug store " Vitamin E, and works better. :->

Vicky -

I have looked at many many many EO prices, Camden Grey and Liberty are

always the least expensive. Between the 2 of those, it really seems to

depend on which oil you are interested in. Some are cheaper at Liberty and

some are cheaper at Camden. I have not ordered from Liberty yet, but have

been using Camden for awhile and the quality of their oils is good. You do

have to be careful that you are buying from a reputable distributor. Cheaper

isn't always better. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable on quality of EOs

can elaborate for us.

Vit. E

Hello,

I am fixing to place an order for some more things, and I am

wondering what is the difference between Vit.E 1000IU and Vit.E T-50?

Which one is best?

Also, who has the most reasonable prices on EO's. I'm looking at

Camden Grey and Liberty Natural right now.

Thanks so much!

Joyful & Fun Soaping,

Vicky

I think you are talking about EO oils and not vit e as it says in the

subject line. If so I purchase my eo's from a garden eastward at

http://addy.com/brinkley/ They have the best prices I have found and I am

pretty sure I checked camden and liberty. And this is a reputable company

with quality merchandise. Also try

www.soapmaking.homestead.com

http://www.tayonet.com/ These are price comparisons sites. They will give

you a list of other companies you may not know existed.

Hope this helps.

This is pretty much what I explained earlier.

-- Vit. E

Well I couldn't figure out what the difference in Vit. T50 & the regular

Vit. ???IU was. I called Camden Grey, they could tell me what T50 was,

but didn't know what the difference from the others was so I did a

little searching and came up with some interesting things (at least I

thought so). So thought I would pass it on for others who might be

interested.

I found the difference at From Nature with Love and the following is my

paraphrased version of their info.

Use high alpha tocopheral in skin formulaitons for skin

softening/healing purposes. Alpha tocopheral is measured by units per

gram of oil exp. 200 IU means 200 units of alpha tocopheral per gram of oil

T50 has a higher content of gamma tocopherols and is a better

antioxidant for protecting oils in cosmetics. Should be used at a rate

of .05% or 400ppm.

The rest is just some interesting facts along with the webpage address

of where I found them.

Quasi-drugs & cosmetics

Vitamin E is directly absorbed through the skin and promotes blood

circulation in the skin. It has a great variety of activities, such as

preventing keratinisation in the skin, inhibiting

lipoperoxide-associated skin disorders, keeping the skin moist,

inhibiting melanin deposits, providing antiinflammatory activity,

promoting hair growth and improving the stability of cosmetics. Because

of these activities, Vitamin E has a wide range of applications as an

ingredient of quasi-drugs and cosmetics.

http://www.eisai.co.jp/evita_e/kiso8.html

What is not commonly know however, is that research studies on vitamin E

and its cosmetic derivatives over the last twenty years have shown it to

be much more than just an effective antioxidant. Vitamin E acetate has

the ability to increase the moisturisation of the horny layer and

thereby improve skin surface relief.

It has also been shown to increase enzyme activity in the skin and

improve epithelisation of superficial wounds. It possesses

anti-inflammatory properties, reducing the number of cells that are

damaged when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet radiation, and protects

the skin against reactive oxygen radicals.

Lastly, as an added bonus, vitamin E acetate also demonstrates the

ability to enhance the SPF value of some sunscreen preparations.

In the current regulatory environment it is very easy, yet somewhat

dangerous, to make ambitious claims for a cosmetic product containing

vitamin E when, in reality, an insufficient quantity of the active

ingredient has been added to attain any tangible benefits whatsoever. It

is well known that, to achieve the best performance from vitamin E

acetate, it must be added to a cosmetic preparation at a level of at

least 0.5% (w/w), significantly greater levels being required if optimal

results are to be obtained.

http://www.cosmeticweb.co.za/pebble.asp?relid=1317

Skin moisturisation is one of the most important properties discovered.

Vitamin E moisturises from within, thanks to its penetrative capacity.

The efficacy of vitamin E is increased with repeated use, making it an

ideal dry skin moisturiser.

Closely linked to moisturisation is the benefit of skin smoothness. A

dry, rough and damaged skin manifests as a " scruffy " appearance, with

discontinuities in the lines of the skin, decreased distance between

lines and an irregular appearance.

A 5% vitamin E acetate emulsion has been shown to effect a 30%

improvement in the degree of hydration over the control emulsion, which

contained no vitamin E.

Skin softening is another positive property. A 15-day cumulative study

with soaps containing 0.5% and 1.0% vitamin E acetate showed substantial

skin softening effects as compared to commercial soaps without vitamin E

acetate, which increased skin stiffness.

A significant discovery is that of vitamin

A significant discovery is that of vitamin E's role in surface wound

healing. Epithelisation was shown to increase by a factor of 1.4 when a

5% vitamin E acetate cream was used. In addition there was an increase

in enzyme activity in the skin.

In studies measuring the prevention of premature skin ageing, vitamin E

acetate has been shown to protect against lipid peroxidation which

occurs after UV-irradiation, reducing prematureskin ageing (sunburn

cells) caused by UV-irridation.

It follows then, that vitamin E should play a positive role in sunburn

protection. Indeed, a sufficiently high dose of vitamin E acetate has

been shown to have a positive effect in reducing erythema production,

especially after repeated applications. Although vitamin E acetate has

essentially no SPF value because it scavenges free radicals generated in

the skin, if incorporated into sunscreen formulations, it can increase

SPF rating.

Finally, as a natural antioxidant, vitamin E prevents or delays

rancidity of fats and oils, extending the shelf life of cosmetics and

toiletries.

As a formulating guideline, recommended levels for topical application

of vitamin E acetate (tocopheryl acetate) are between 0.5 and 5% in

creams and lotions, and up to 25% in sun care products and body oils. As

an antioxidant, the recommended level for vitamin E (tocopheryl) is

between 0.05 and 2%.

Hi again. Can someone please straighten me out on the vit.e thing? I was going

through my notes and became very confused between vit.e acetate, alpha

tocpherols and gamma tocpheros - I am not spelling that word correctly, sorry!

Which vit e is best for preventing rancidity in your lotions and which one is

for the actual skin soothing/healing properties? What are the correct

proportions to use? Thanks for your expert opinions!

[Guest guest]

Hi Leanna,

As far as I know, the best Vit E is the d-alpha tocopherols, both for

preventing rancidity and to take internally.

Thanks for the info on vit.e. When you say " 4 drops of vit e. to a pound

of oils " are you using this in your oils before you actually make a product? I

checked out the link at camdengrey and still don't quite understand this! I

haven't even seen this on any of the Canadian sites that I have shopped at!

Anyone else want to try to educate me on the different vit.e.'s available and

what their proper usages are?! I really need the help! Have a great evening

everyone!

Hi Leanna,

In CP soaps, the Vit E is added to the oils (4 drops per pound of oils)

after they have been heated to the proper temperature, just before adding

the lye water. In handmilled soap (rebatched), (I used 4 drops per pound of

soap) add just before pouring into molds, at the same time the other

additives are added. Such as E.O.'s., F.O.'s, herbs and color.

I hope this helps, if not, then maybe someone else can give you a better

explanation.

, what about adding vit.e to lotions for their antioxidant and skin care

abilities? Do you do this as well? Have a great day.

[Guest guest]

Hi Leanna,

Yes, I do plan to use the Vit E oil in my lotions as well, using the same

formula.

I did not see the news story but did catch a bit of the information

on a text blurb on CNN.

It raised the concern of vitamin E increasing risk for causing heart

problems because it blocks the effect of statin drugs. I thought

how crazy.

If I interpret it correctly vitamin E does not cause heart problems,

if someone is taking a statin drug because they've already developed

risks for heart problem and have been prescribed a statin drug, then

there is cause for concern for those individuals.

one study suggested that taking vitamin E and C tablets may blunt

the HDL-enhancing effects of a statin-niacin combination.

http://www.umm.edu/careguides/cholesterol/cholesterol_statins.html

(what is interesting is that statins lower vitamin E levels. If I

were taking a statin drug I would start investigating natural means

to achieve the benefits that the drug provides, ie lowering ldl

cholesterol.

Oil based vitamins are stored in the body longer; A, D, and E are of

that variety. These are the vitamins that can build up in the body

to toxic levels if taken in megadoses.

Don't buy into the FUD mongering (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). But I

do suggest that you look to food sources for vitamins. Studies have

shown that those that got their antioxidants from food sources had

better results than those that got the vitamins from supplements.

See the article " Antioxidants in Food May Prevent Memory Loss "

All the best,

Jim

has anyone used Vit. E and seen any good things happen?

[Guest guest]

Well, you should supplement with Vitamin E, as well as C, and other

anti-oxidants when chelating.
