Warning - Not Natural Vitamin E Oil
I bought this locally after my Dr. said to use Vitamin E on my surgery scar. I did not realize that when Sundown says "Natural Vitamin E Oil" they mean "Synthetic Vitamin E oil". I Called Sundown (1-888-848-2435) after getting home and reading the bottle carefully and under Warnings it says: "Do not apply to broken, irritated skin or areas affected by rashes". I thought that was strange thing to say about vitamin E oil so I called them. After talking with one of their customer service reps I found out that this is a synthetic Vitamin E oil and It is not meant to be put on any type of wounds or rashes or other things you would think it should be used for. It is made just to moisturize your skin. I can think of a hundred better things to moisturize your skin with than synthetic oil. I'm not sure why they make this but I know that many people are buying it thinking it's Natural. The company is using false advertising and hopefully they will stop before someone gets hurt by an infection or something.
