Skin Barrier Repair
Soybean oil's linoleic acid content directly replenishes lipids in a damaged or dehydrated skin barrier.
Versatile Multi-Use Formula
Use pure, mix into moisturizer, apply to hair, cuticles, nails, scars, and stretch marks β one bottle, endless uses.
π‘οΈ Safety & Compatibility
Contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens. All four ingredients are gentle plant oils widely considered safe during pregnancy. Patch test recommended as a precaution.
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil contains fatty acids that may feed Malassezia yeast. Those with active fungal acne should patch test or consult a dermatologist before use.
Vitamin E is a well-known antioxidant companion to retinol, helping to buffer potential irritation. Use Vitamin E Oil before retinol in the PM routine.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E) and Vitamin C work synergistically β Vitamin E helps regenerate oxidized Vitamin C, boosting antioxidant protection.
Completely fragrance-free, preservative-free, and free from synthetic additives. Ideal for reactive or compromised skin barriers. Always patch test first.
The primary base is Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil. Those with soy allergies should consult their physician before topical use, though refined soy oil rarely triggers reactions.
Oil-based formulas layer well over AHA/BHA treatments once they have fully absorbed. Apply Vitamin E Oil as the final step before sunscreen in the AM or as a last PM step.
Jojoba Seed Oil rates 0-2 and Rosehip Oil rates 1. Soybean Oil rates 2-3. Overall blend is low-moderate; suitable for most skin types but patch test if highly acne-prone.
π¬ Ingredient Breakdown
π± Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil ~60β65% Proven
The hero base of this formula. Organic cold-pressed Soybean Oil is rich in linoleic acid (50β55%) and oleic acid (20β25%), making it an outstanding skin-barrier repair and emollient oil. Its high linoleic content directly compensates for the fatty acid deficiency seen in acne-prone and compromised skin.
- Key Fatty Acids: Linoleic acid (omega-6) ~50β55%, Oleic acid ~20β25%, Palmitic acid ~10β12%
- Barrier Repair: Linoleic acid is a structural component of the skin's lipid barrier; topical application replenishes barrier function in dry or eczema-prone skin
- Antioxidants: Naturally contains tocopherols and phytosterols, contributing additional skin-protective activity
- Comedogenic: Rated 2/5 β generally well-tolerated for most skin types
π Tocopherol (Vitamin E) ~20β25% Proven
Pure d-alpha Tocopherol β the natural, most bioavailable form of Vitamin E. At 36,000 IU per bottle, this is a genuinely concentrated antioxidant dose. Tocopherol neutralizes free radicals, supports skin healing, reduces UV-induced oxidative damage, and helps visibly fade scars and dark spots over time.
- Antioxidant Power: Neutralizes lipid peroxidation chain reactions, protecting cell membranes from oxidative damage
- Scar Reduction: Evidence suggests topical tocopherol supports collagen regulation and may reduce the appearance of scars
- Synergy: Works synergistically with Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) β Vitamin C regenerates oxidized Vitamin E, extending antioxidant activity
- Photo-Protection: Shown to reduce erythema and UV-induced cell damage when applied topically
πΏ Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil ~8β12% Proven
Technically a liquid wax rather than an oil, Jojoba closely mimics the skin's natural sebum. This makes it uniquely non-greasy, deeply penetrating, and self-regulating on both oily and dry skin types. Cold-pressed organic Jojoba provides long-lasting moisture, soothes inflammation, and has natural antimicrobial properties.
- Structure: Comprised of ~97% wax esters (mainly eicosenoic and docosenoic acids) β structurally unlike most plant oils
- Sebum Mimicry: Closely resembles human sebum, absorbs rapidly and regulates oil production without clogging pores
- Comedogenic: Rated 0β2/5 β highly unlikely to clog pores
- Anti-Inflammatory: Myristic acid content contributes to soothing and calming effect on irritated skin
πΉ Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Oil ~5β8% Proven
Virgin, unrefined cold-pressed Rosehip Seed Oil is one of the most prized botanical oils in skincare. Rich in linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), and natural carotenoids, it visibly brightens dull skin, reduces hyperpigmentation, supports collagen synthesis, and delivers lasting hydration.
- Key Fatty Acids: Linoleic acid (omega-6) ~44β50%, Alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) ~30β35%
- Retinoid Precursors: Contains naturally occurring trans-retinoic acid (tretinoin) precursors including carotenoids β provides gentle anti-aging activity
- Brightening: Lycopene and beta-carotene contribute to a more even, radiant complexion with consistent use
- Clinical Evidence: Studies show topical rosehip oil significantly improves skin moisture, elasticity, and reduces fine lines over 8 weeks

*Certified Organic Ingredient
π Where It Fits in Your Routine
Apply after water-based serums and actives, before moisturizer. Oils seal in hydration from previous steps. Use AM and/or PM. Can also be mixed directly into your moisturizer.
π How to Use
Cleanse & Tone
Start with clean, dry skin. Complete your cleansing and toning steps. Pat skin until just slightly damp for better oil absorption.
Dispense 1β3 Pumps
Pump 1β3 drops into the palm of your hand. For face use, start with 1β2 pumps. For body or mixing into a moisturizer, 2β3 pumps is ideal.
Warm Between Palms
Gently rub your palms together to warm the oil slightly. This improves absorption and allows the oil to spread more evenly across the skin.
Press and Pat Into Skin
Press palms onto the face and pat gently β avoid rubbing, which can cause pilling. Work from center outward, covering cheeks, forehead, chin, and neck.
Allow to Absorb (30β60 sec)
The lightweight formula absorbs quickly. Wait 30β60 seconds before applying moisturizer or sunscreen on top.
Patch Test on First Use
As instructed by the brand, perform a patch test on the inner wrist before first full-face application. Wait 24 hours to confirm no reaction.
π€ Who Is It For?
β Perfect for you if:
- You have dry, dehydrated, or compromised skin
- You want a minimal, clean-beauty facial oil
- You're pregnant or breastfeeding and need a safe option
- You want to fade scars, stretch marks, or dark spots
- You need a nourishing anti-aging face oil
- You prefer certified organic skincare
- You want a multi-use product (face, body, nails, hair)
- You have sensitive or reactive skin
β Consider alternatives if:
- You have confirmed fungal acne / pityrosporum folliculitis
- You have a known soy allergy
- You want an ultra-light, gel-based oil that leaves zero residue
- Your skin is very oily and prone to breakouts
- You prefer a larger ingredient panel with added botanicals
- You want a higher IU concentration (e.g. 70,000+ IU)
π― Skin Type Compatibility
The richest fit β Soybean Oil replenishes lipids and Rosehip Oil delivers intense lasting moisture. Visibly softer, plumper skin within days.
A perfect daily facial oil β enhances radiance, maintains barrier integrity, and adds a healthy glow without heaviness.
Jojoba's sebum-balancing wax ester properties help regulate oily zones. Apply a lighter amount on the T-zone and more on dry patches.
Completely fragrance-free, preservative-free, and free from synthetics. One of the cleanest oils available for reactive, rosacea-prone, or eczema-affected skin.
High linoleic acid content can actually benefit acne-prone skin, but Soybean and Rosehip Oils may not suit fungal acne. Use sparingly and patch test carefully.
Vitamin E's potent antioxidant activity, combined with Rosehip's natural carotenoids, targets fine lines, skin laxity, and age spots. A must-have anti-aging oil.

β Frequently Asked Questions
Yes β Sky Organics Vitamin E Oil is considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The formula contains only four plant-based ingredients: organic Soybean Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Rosehip Seed Oil, and Jojoba Seed Oil. None of these are retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreen agents β the ingredients most commonly flagged as concerns during pregnancy. As with any new skincare product, performing a patch test first and consulting your OB-GYN or midwife is always a good precaution.
Not fully β this oil should be used with caution if you have fungal acne (pityrosporum folliculitis or Malassezia folliculitis). Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil and Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Seed Oil both contain C18:2 linoleic acid and other fatty acids that can feed Malassezia yeast. While Jojoba Seed Oil (a wax ester, not a triglyceride) is considered fungal acne safe, the other ingredients are not. If you have confirmed fungal acne, consider a pure Jojoba oil or Squalane instead. Always patch test and consult a dermatologist if unsure.
Yes, and in fact it pairs very well with these actives. Vitamin E (Tocopherol) is a well-documented antioxidant synergist with Vitamin C β the two together provide superior free-radical protection compared to either alone. With retinol, applying Vitamin E Oil first can help buffer potential irritation while still allowing retinol to penetrate. For AHA/BHA routines, apply your acid treatment first, wait for it to fully absorb (10β15 minutes), then apply the Vitamin E Oil. The oil seals in the treatment and helps soothe any potential sensitivity.
This oil is best suited for dry, normal, sensitive, and mature skin types. Dry skin benefits most from the deep barrier-repairing action of Soybean Oil and the lasting hydration of Rosehip Oil. Sensitive skin loves the completely fragrance-free, preservative-free formula. Mature skin benefits from the powerful antioxidant protection of 36,000 IU Vitamin E and the anti-aging carotenoids in Rosehip Oil. Combination and oily skin types can use it in moderation (especially on dry patches), but very oily or fungal-acne-prone skin should patch test carefully.
You'll notice immediate softness and a radiant glow from the very first use. Deeper results follow a timeline: barrier strengthening and reduced dryness typically appear within 1β2 weeks of consistent daily use. Improvements in fine lines and skin texture develop over 3β4 weeks. Scar fading, hyperpigmentation reduction, and more significant anti-aging benefits generally take 6β8 weeks or longer with daily application. The most dramatic results come from consistent, long-term use.
Apply it as step 4 in your routine: after cleansing, toning, and any water-based serums or actives, but before your moisturizer and sunscreen. The general skincare layering rule is thinnest to thickest, and water before oil. Since oils can create a barrier, they should be applied after water-based treatments so those actives can still penetrate. In a simplified routine (cleanser β toner β oil β SPF), the oil goes right before sunscreen in the AM. You can also mix 1β2 pumps directly into your moisturizer for an added glow boost.
The overall blend rates approximately 2/5 on the comedogenic scale, which is considered low-moderate. Jojoba Seed Oil is rated 0β2 (non-comedogenic), Rosehip Seed Oil rates 1 (non-comedogenic), and Soybean Oil rates 2β3. For most people β especially those with normal, dry, or sensitive skin β this oil will not clog pores. However, very acne-prone individuals or those with extremely oily skin should patch test on the jawline or cheek for 1β2 weeks before full-face use. High linoleic acid content (from Soybean and Rosehip Oils) can actually benefit acne-prone skin by normalizing pore lining lipids.
The recommended Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. Vitamin E (Tocopherol) acts as a natural preservative and antioxidant, helping to slow oxidation of the other plant oils in the formula. To maximize shelf life: store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat; keep the pump tightly closed after each use; avoid introducing water or contaminants into the bottle. If the oil develops a noticeably rancid or "off" smell, it has oxidized and should be replaced. Refrigeration can extend freshness, especially in warm climates.
Verdict: Sky Organics Vitamin E Oil delivers a best-in-class clean beauty experience for those who prioritize ingredient purity above all else. With just four certified organic, cold-pressed ingredients and 36,000 IU of natural Vitamin E, it outperforms far more complex oils in barrier repair, antioxidant protection, and gentle suitability for sensitive and pregnancy-safe skincare. The NSF/ANSI 305 certification and B-Corp status add meaningful credibility to the brand's clean claims. It loses a half star for its limited suitability on fungal-acne-prone skin and the natural batch-to-batch variability. For dry, sensitive, mature, or pregnant skin β this is an outstanding value-for-money facial oil you can trust completely.

Understanding Simple Alcohols
Alcohol ingredients are widely used in cosmetics and come in different types. For the most part alcohols are not problematic at all. However one type of alcohols, simple alcohols can be quite drying to the skin because it evaporates very quickly. This can cause irritation which can also lead to other skin complications. These alcohols should never be used alone on your skin, but combined with other cosmetic ingredients, they are normally without issue. However, for some people with sensitive and easily irritable skin, avoiding products with these simple alcohols may be beneficial. If you find your skin doesn't like these simple alcohols, then free feel to avoid them by looking out for the Alcohol-Free icon.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.
Note, that this does not include all ingredients part of the Silicone class of ingredients.
EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging Β«promisesΒ» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
