How is Vitis Vinifera seed oil made?
Vitis Vinifera seed oil is produced by pressing grape seeds, followed by a careful extraction process. During this process, the seeds are mechanically pressed to extract the oil, after which it is filtered and purified to remove impurities. The result is an oil with a clear colour and a mild, pleasant scent, suitable for various applications.
How does grapeseed oil work in formulations?
Grapeseed oil is known for its many benefits for the skin, hair and overall health. It is rich in essential fatty acids, such as omega-6 fatty acids (including linoleic acid), and antioxidants such as vitamin E, which help hydrate and nourish the skin, keeping it soft, supple and radiant. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness and irritation, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin.
Grapeseed oil is primarily used as a vegetable oil and emollient ingredient in formulations. Its light texture makes the oil interesting for applications where a product needs to spread pleasantly over the skin or hair.
For example, grapeseed oil can be selected for a lotion in which a vegetable oil is desired without a heavy or strongly greasy skin feel.

Cosmetics
In the cosmetics industry, grapeseed oil is known for its nourishing and softening properties for the skin and hair.

Food
Grapeseed oil has also earned its place in the food industry due to its culinary properties and health benefits. It is often used as a healthier alternative to traditional cooking oils because of its high smoke point, low saturated fat content and high polyunsaturated fatty acid content.
