It's colorless, odorless, and perfect for sensitive skin. It is one of the most versatile carrier oils, the possibilities are endless! Some of it's uses are:

Now Grapeseed Oil 16 oz.
Retail: $7.06
16 oz. |
#2 Grapeseed Oil is a light silky moisturizer for all skin types. It's odorless with mild astringent properties. It prevents premature aging and can be used as a hair conditioner. It contains many essential fatty acids including Linoleic‚ Oleic‚ Stearic‚ Palmitic‚ Myristic and Lauric. This is a little heavier than the FCO, it leaves an oily look and feel for 5-10 minutes. It's great when you need to cover a larger area, such as for a massage or as a body oil. I only use it on my body, not my face. Also, if using it as a hair conditioner, apply it to the ends because it can leave a greasy look at the roots. I personally have very dry skin and live in UT so I need lots of help moisturizing. I LOVE this as my after-shower body oil. It keeps my skin toned, gives it a gorgeous healthy glow, and softly scents it just the way I like it. Grapeseed Body oil Recipe: Mix 10 drops of *e.o. to the bottle of Grapeseed Oil and shake to combine. *Avoid using photosensitive e.o. Some of my favorites to use are: Balance, Lavender, Whisper, Purify, and Cypress |
