Hi
I'm going to attempt to make a vit c serum I am a bit confused about what vitamin e oil to use and where to get it I looked on holland and barrat(u.k) and they sell capsules which are supposed to be taken orally can I use these? also they sell different strengths like 700iu and 1000iu not sure what to get |

| If you are in Holland, try Drogisterij de Lang in Rotterdam (and they have a webshop too). They sell a vit. E oil (and other actives as well). |

I may be wrong, but I've always had the impression that you can just squeeze vit e out from the capsuls. I prefer doing this because then I know that there's been no risk of oxidation.
But holy moly, does vit e ever gum up everything. The oil is amazing, but so thick! What a pain. |

If you are in the UK you can get vit E oil from aromantics.com its an onnline company in Scotland that sells tons of ingredients for Diy creams and serums, soaps lots of stuff.
It also has lots of diy info as well.

I have tries using vit e capsules with little success. Its too sticky and globby i find. The holland and barrett oil can also be a little too thick.
Try and find a skin diy store, sylvia's suggestion may be better. |
