Vitamin E Natural (Mixed Tocopherols 70%)
Natural mixed tocopherols
A naturally derived mixed-tocopherol vitamin E ingredient used to help protect waterless skincare formulas from oxidation. Because Skin Botanist formulas are oil-based and water-free, Vitamin E plays an important antioxidant role: helping delicate botanical oils stay fresher for longer while also contributing to a soft, conditioned skin feel.
Skin benefits
Protects waterless formulas
Helps slow oxidation in oil-based formulas, supporting freshness, quality and stability without needing a water-phase preservative system.
Keeps oils fresher
Botanical oils can be sensitive to air, light and time. Mixed tocopherols help protect those oils so the formula stays beautiful for longer.
Skin-conditioning antioxidant
Alongside its formula-protection role, Vitamin E contributes antioxidant-led skin-conditioning benefits and a soft, comfortable finish.
Botanical field note
Research and evidence
We do not choose ingredients because they sound natural. We look at supplier quality, formulation role and available research before an ingredient earns a place in a Skin Botanist formula. For customers who want to go deeper, the reputable research papers and source notes we have reviewed are listed below.
Natural mixed tocopherols are valued for antioxidant activity and their ability to help protect oil-based formulas from oxidation. In waterless skincare, this matters because the formula does not need a traditional water-phase preservative, but the oils still need antioxidant support to stay fresh and stable.
Chosen because Vitamin E is central to the way Skin Botanist protects waterless formulas. Our balms, oils and butters do not contain a water phase, so they do not need the same preservative system as water-based creams. What they do need is antioxidant protection for the oils themselves.
Mixed tocopherols help slow oxidation, support freshness and protect delicate botanical oils from becoming stale too quickly. That makes Vitamin E both a formula-quality ingredient and a skin-conditioning ingredient: it helps the product stay beautiful while contributing to a soft, cared-for skin feel.
Patch test before use and check soy-derived ingredient suitability if you have a specific soy sensitivity.
