Question 1

does applying olive oil or vitamin e onto eyelashes make them grow longer and stronger?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly...: There does not seem to be any good scientific evidence that vitamin E or olive oil make the eye lashes grow either thicker or longer.  The vitamin E may have a healthy effect on the skin because it is an antioxidant.  The olive oil can certainly help the skin and can coat the lashes making them appear healthier.  I do not think either treatment is likely to be harmful.

Question 2

what happens if you get vitamin e oil in your eye? i am trying to grow my eyelashes longer and put vitamin e in them every night it gets in my eye

Accepted Answer

Vitamin E: If it is not bothering the eye, it is probably not a problem.  Vitamin e is not effective for lash growth though.  Try using Latisse (bimatoprost) from an eye doctor.

Question 3

does vitamin e oil go bad?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can: Being a fat-soluble vitamin, vitamin e can go rancid.

Question 4

does 100 vitamin e oil really expire?

Accepted Answer

Vit E: Some oils, even the oils we use in cooking, can become rancid if too old.  Best to check the dates of expiration on all oil products, including vitamins e, flaxseed oil, and the omega 3's.

Question 5

is it bad to use expired vitamin e oil?

Accepted Answer

Just not as effectiv: All chemical compounds deteriorate with time and become less potent. Generally, medications have a predicted effective-shelf-life. Fortunately meds often don't spoil, but can become less and less effective being left in cabinet too long after expiring. So, it may not be bad to take, but it may not have as much therapeutic value if expired too long. Consult doc. Good luck.

Question 6

what can taking vitamin e oil do for you?

Accepted Answer

Nothing!: I would avoid anything focussed on vitamin-e...It is not required for good health. It actually might be harmful!

Question 7

how to tell if i am allergic to vitamin e oil?

Accepted Answer

Exposure & symptoms: Theoretically, if a product is only oil without protein or carbohydrate, it would be highly unlikely to have trigger an allergic reaction.  If symptoms occurred after ingestion or application and improved with avoidance of the product, then this is suspicious for an adverse reaction.  An allergist can review the other ingredients as it may be a hidden allergen.

Question 8

can vitamin e oil be prepared from evion vit e capsule?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a fat-soluable nutrient and antioxidant.  It is naturally oily which is what makes it fat-soluable.  Thus, yes Vit E oil can be prepared in part from Vit E capsules.

Question 9

No: Not in my experience 
we usually use it for scar management.
