Grapeseed Oil

Depending on your source, Grapeseed oil is either expeller pressed or solvent extracted from the seeds of the Vitis vinifera plant.

A few of Grapeseed Oil's qualities are as follows:

• very light oil that is easily absorbed.


• good for oily or acne prone skin.


• has a shorter shelf life than many other oils and should be used in smaller quantities.


• said to help reduce the look of stretch marks.


• helps relieve dry and itchy skin.


• the oil is light in color and fragrance.

Since this oil has a short shelf life it is best to only add 5 - 15% of your total oils at the start of the soap making process.
