Description
"Grapeseed Carrier Oil" is cold-pressed from the seeds of Vitis vinifera, a byproduct of winemaking that produces a light, fast-absorbing oil. High in linoleic acid and antioxidants, it supports skin elasticity and defends against environmental stress. Its non-greasy finish makes it ideal for facial care, body massage, and lightweight hydration. Easily blended with essential oils, it enhances their absorption without leaving residue. Renowned for its versatility, it’s widely used in personal care and botanical skincare.
