What Exactly Is Grapeseed Oil?

If you guessed grapeseed oil has something to do with wine, congratulations! Vitis Vinifera Oil, also known as grapeseed oil, is extracted from grape seeds. It will have a silky texture and a light yellow-green colour.

Because of its natural stores of antioxidants and skin-promoting compounds, grapeseed oil packs a powerful punch. High levels of omega fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid, and vitamin E help the skin maintain healthy moisture levels. Proanthocyanidins, for example, are phytochemicals that have been linked to the prevention of skin cancer in studies.

How Is Grapeseed Oil Obtained?

Winemaking produces grapeseed oil as a byproduct. Tiny seeds are left over after pressing grapes to make wine. A cold-pressing extraction method is then used to extract grapeseed oil from the leftover grape seeds. This method preserves the oil’s natural skin-loving components, such as omega fatty acids.

Though there are various methods for extracting the oil from the seeds, cold-pressed is the best for skin care. This ensures that neither the active ingredients nor the oil have been chemically altered. This aids in the preservation of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
