Vitamin E: Hair Benefits

When it came to choosing ingredients for The newVital, we didn’t cut corners. Every element had to serve a real purpose—and Vitamin E was one of the first ingredients that made the list. But not just any Vitamin E. We use Natural D-Alpha Tocopherol, a highly bioavailable form that your skin and scalp actually recognize and put to work.

What is Vitamin E and why is it in a hair oil?

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient naturally found in plant oils, known for its powerful antioxidant properties. In plain terms: it helps protect your skin and hair from environmental damage, pollution, and stress. It also helps lock in moisture, keeping your scalp hydrated and your hair soft, shiny, and strong.

Why we chose the natural version

Not all Vitamin E is the same. The version we use—Natural D-Alpha Tocopherol—is typically sourced from plant oils (ours is soy-based) and is better absorbed by the body and skin compared to synthetic versions. It’s more bioavailable, meaning your skin and scalp can actually use it, rather than just flushing it away. It’s like giving your scalp the best possible chance to thrive.

What it does for your hair

Supports a healthy scalp – Vitamin E helps reduce oxidative stress on the scalp, which is often a hidden factor behind thinning or slow-growing hair.

Promotes stronger, shinier hair – It improves hair texture and elasticity by sealing in moisture and smoothing the cuticle.

Protects against environmental damage – Think of it as a natural shield against UV, pollution, and styling heat.

Our blend makes it better

We didn’t just add Vitamin E and call it a day. We blended it with our homegrown heroes—NZ Harakeke, eucalyptus, and lavender (which we're currently growing on our Wairarapa orchard) —to create a clean, potent formula that nourishes the scalp without making it greasy. It’s part of what makes The newVital different. And our roller-ball applicator ensures you get just the right amount, exactly where you need it, while gently stimulating the scalp at the same time.

If you're looking for a natural boost for your hair and scalp health, Vitamin E is a quiet powerhouse—and when combined with our unique blend of New Zealand botanicals, the results speak for themselves.
