    The Vitamin E is not GMO - it is extracted from sunflower seeds and contains 4 tocopherols, but does not contain tocotrienols.

• Could you please specify which tocopherol derivative this is, dl-alpha tocopherol, d-alpha tocopherol, etc?

    The following statement in response to your question was received from the manufacturer:
    
    Our vitamin E is of natural origin, so it's d-tocopherol, not dl-tocopherol, a term that refers to the synthetic form.
    Specifically, there are: d-alpha-tocopherol (to a small extent), d-beta and d-gamma tocopherol (predominantly) and d-delta-tocopherol.
    Vitamin E in the alpha form is the most active from a biological point of view, as a vitamin, while it increases the antioxidant power in the beta, gamma and delta forms, compared to the alpha one.

• Can be mixed with serums ? With vitamin c serum for example ?

    Hi,
    
    According to the manufacturer Vitamin E can be added to a serum or used as it is, as an anti-wrinkle and antioxidant treatment, especially for mature skin. It has good tolerability on the skin, is soluble in oil and is used in concentrations between 0.01 and 0.1% to protect cosmetic formulations from oxidation and to prevent the rancidity of oils. It is recommended to add vitamin E especially to oils sensitive to rancidity, such as Rosehip oil and Sweet Almond oil. In the same way, we can insert vitamin E into shea butter, mango butter or cocoa butter.
