Grapeseed Oil
Grapeseed Oil, also known as Grapeseed Carrier Oil, is a very popular, all-rounder, general purpose oil, commonly used by manufacturers, massage therapists and aromatherapists. Due to its light, satin-like finish it is particularly favoured by massage therapists as it easily penetrates and absorbs into the skin. This also makes it a great carrier oil for diluting essential oils.
• Grapeseed Carrier Oil contains a high percentage of linoleic acid (more than many other carrier oils), Vitamin C, A, E, Iron, Calcium and Omega 6 & 9, and is rich in antioxidants.
• Used widely in the cosmetic industry due to its versatility, Grapeseed Oil suits most cosmetic applications including Creams, lotions, body butters, massage products, hair care products, shaving creams and oils.
• It has some astringent qualities which is particularly good for oily and acne prone skin, however it is also well suited for mature, dry and sensitive skin.
• It is also commonly used as a lubricant for shaving.
Being a refined oil, the oil is very low in odour and colour, making this a perfect oil for your essential oil dilution.
