Botanical Name: Vitis vinifera Botanical Family: Vitaceae
· Method: Expressed (Extraction from seeds)
· Texture/Absorption: Very fine and thin; the lightest of the common carrier oils. It absorbs very quickly without leaving any oily residue.
· Color: Pale green to yellow.
Grapeseed oil is a byproduct of the wine-making industry. While the seeds themselves contain a low percentage of oil, the resulting liquid is prized for its high "slip" and "glide." Note its popularity in commercial cosmetic bases because it is so light, while its ability to act as a mild astringent—tightening and toning the skin rather than just "greasing" it.
It is exceptionally high in Linoleic acid (Omega-6), which is vital for skin health. It also contains significant amounts of Vitamin E and Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin Complexes (OPCs)—powerful antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stressors.
· Face: Because it is mildly astringent, it is one of the best choices for oily or acne-prone skin. It helps to regulate natural oil production and tighten pores.
· Body: The preferred oil for full-body massage when a "light" touch is needed. It leaves the skin feeling silky and soft rather than heavily coated.
· Circulation: Its use in blends are designed to support healthy circulation and leg health, as it doesn't weigh down the tissues.
1. Light Body Moisturizer: Perfect for use in the summer months. Apply to damp skin after a shower for a non-greasy, satin-smooth finish.
2. Aromatherapy Massage Base: Use as your primary base when you want the scent of the essential oils to be the main focus, as Grapeseed has almost no scent of its own.
Grapeseed is a "universal" carrier. It is an excellent base for invigorating morning blends (with Citrus or Rosemary) or for balancing facial oils (with Juniper or Bergamot). It is also a great base for "diluting" thicker oils like Avocado or Castor oil.
· Safety: Generally non-toxic and non-allergenic. It is one of the least likely oils to cause a reaction or a breakout, making it suitable for almost all skin types.
· Storage: Because of its high polyunsaturated fat content, Grapeseed oil has a relatively short shelf life. Store in a cool, dark place (or refrigerator). Typical shelf life is 6 to 12 months.
Available Sizes: 50ml, 100ml, 500ml
