Candula Oil= Vitamin E Oil???

Question

Candula Oil = Vitamin E Oil?

I've been to Wal*Mart and I've been to CVS so faar,
I could not find CANDULA OIL by the titel of CANDULA OIL. (I know there is vitamin E in the product),but isn't the bottle supposed to be labeled with: CANDULA OIL as well?

I did buy one bottle from each store though,did I get the right product?

How is it when it comes to applying it on the skin and being exposed to the sun?
If I was gonna go and lay in the sun afterwards,could it be bad for my skin,or would it have a even faster process healing my marks and scars?


Thank you so much in advance!

Answer 1

try a GNC or a herbal store. Aloe from the plant or 100% cocoa butter is good for scares. but with time your scares should slowly fade. nothing really makes scares go away, (marketing, its all about making money), but eat right, drink plenty of water and detox your body, that will also help.

Answer 2

No they are not the same.

Check out Whole Foods or other natural products stores. Here's a link to online sources: http://www.herbsmd.com/detail/eclectic-institute-inc/1940/Calendula-Oil.htm

About vitamin E: "vitamin E for scars. There is no evidence that vitamin E can help heal scars, and, because of skin sensitivity, it can actually impede the healing process for some. A report of research published in Dermatologic Surgery (April 1999, pages 311�315), in an article titled �The effects of topical vitamin E on the cosmetic appearance of scars,� concluded that the �� study shows that there is no benefit to the cosmetic outcome of scars by applying vitamin E after skin surgery and that the application of topical vitamin E may actually be detrimental to the cosmetic appearance of a scar. In 90% of the cases in this study, topical vitamin E either had no effect on, or actually worsened, the cosmetic appearance of scars. Of the patients studied, 33% developed a contact dermatitis to the vitamin E. Therefore we conclude that use of topical vitamin E on surgical wounds should be discouraged.� The study was done double-blind �with patients given two ointments each labeled A or B. A was Aquaphor, a regular emollient, and the B was Aquaphor mixed with vitamin E. The scars were randomly divided into parts A and B. Patients were asked to put the A ointment on part A and the B ointment on part B twice daily for 4 weeks.� Antioxidants are definitely an option for skin, but, for preventing scars, vitamin E directly applied on skin does not appear to be one of them."
