Grape Seed Oil

Grapeseed Oil: Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

Grapeseed oil is a lightweight, edible oil that is primarily cultivated in the Mediterranean or wine making regions as the grape seeds are a by-product of the wine industry.

It is rich in linoleic acid and suitable for all skin types as it is easily absorbed and has emolliating, nourishing and anti-inflammatory properties.  It has a mild astringent effect making it an ideal ingredient for mature skin as well as being light enough for greasy skin and for therapeutic use such as massage oil as it is easily absorbed, does not clog pores or leave a greasy feel.

Grapeseed oil is a lovely light oil rich in vitamins C, D and E, these vitamins are often associated with helping reduce the effects of scars and wrinkles on the skin.
