Grape seed oil has a long history of use in cosmetology and traditional practices, dating back to Ancient Egypt.
Due to its light texture and rich composition, it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film and may be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and oily skin.
The cold-pressing process helps retain the maximum amount of beneficial compounds: vitamins E, C, and D, Omega-3, 6, and 9, waxes, chlorophyll, and natural antioxidants.
A high concentration of linoleic acid (Omega-6, up to 80%) may support the restoration of the skin’s lipid barrier and help retain moisture.
Oleic acid (Omega-9, up to 28%) may enhance the absorption of active ingredients and contribute to skin softness.
Vitamin E and polyphenols may help protect skin cells from oxidative stress.
An iodine value of 134–144 indicates a high degree of unsaturation, contributing to the oil’s light texture and fast absorption.
