Image sourced from myorganicchemistry.wikispaces.com
Ever thought about the effect of applying vitamins to your skin? Go fetch some almonds or chew on an avocado for a feel good effect while you read the rest of the post.
Vitamin E helps your skin in the following ways

  • anti oxidant
  • pollution protection 
  • UV rays protection
  • anti aging
  • after sun care
  • scar lightening 
  • skin strengthening
  • restoring natural oil balance of skin 

Okay these are just the top lines, in summary this is a must have in your skin care product. Its chemical extract will have this - "tocopherol" - as a pre fix to these words - " acetate/ extract / alpha / mixed" etc
If you're thinking why apply it when you can eat it, think twice - its always better to pamper yourself inside out and what better way to do it than to indulge in some wholesome skin care products???

Skin heaven is full of people who have a grapeful heart !
Grape seed extracts are a favorite organic ingredient in skin care products because they work as an excellent multitasking skin conditioning and hair conditioning agent.
Here are a list of all the tasks it performs:

  • UV light absorber
  • Sun screen agent 
  • Anti fungal 
  • Anti dandruff
  • Anti microbial 
  • Anti oxidant 

And if its in your oral care product it works its charm as an oral care agent as well.

Products that contain grape seed extracts would typically include this in their ingredients list :
extract of vitis vinifera seed or extract of vitis vinifera.

You know what? I say, its wine for the spirit and grape seed for the skin !!! A truly wonderful ingredient.
