Grape Seed Oil description

Grape seed oil is a soothing, non-fragrant oil extracted from grape seeds. Packed with beneficial fatty acids (mostly of the polyunsaturated variety), it nourishes and enhances skin’s barrier health. The antioxidants in grape seed oil offer a variety of anti-aging and skin-protective benefits. Ideal for dry skin, the emollient nature of this oil lends moisturizing and softening properties. Its low saturation gives it a thinner texture and less greasy feel compared to highly saturated oils such as coconut oil. Another plus: its lower saturation means it’s less likely to clog pores. As a sustainable choice, grape seed oil may be upcycled as a byproduct of the wine production industry. This reduces waste by repurposing the discarded seeds from which the oil is extracted. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded grape seed oil is safe for cosmetic use in any amount. Grape seed oil may also be listed by its Latin/INCI name _Vitis vinifera_ (grape) seed oil. Some manufacturers choose the alternative spelling of grapeseed oil.
