Please solve this vitamin/supplements mystery for me

I have been everywhere and asked everyone and have no answer - please help! I thought it would be simple. I take a multivitamin, and want to take evening primrose oil on top of it. The thing is, all the evening primrose oil seems to have the daily limit of vitamin E mixed in. I want some without, because you're not meant to have more vit E than the recommended dose are you?

So - is there a reason for them always being sold together, and if not, where can I buy it on its own?

thank you in advance : )

Holland & Barrett sell it on it's own
Boots probably do too

holland and barrett is about the only place I haven't tried. Boots definitely don't do it on its own - thank you EldonAve - I'll go there today!

It's because evening primrose oil contains vitamin E.
