Grapeseed oil is the by-product of wine production, after the grapes (botanical name vitis vinifera) are pressed to release the juice, the left-over seed is used to produce Grape Seed Oil, a nutritious, versatile, and naturally cholesterol-free oil. The oil itself has a neutral taste and is tasteless when used for frying. It's also one of the few oils that can be heated to very high cooking temperatures without breaking down. As a relatively neutral oil, it doesn't add a lot of flavor to a dish. This means it's useful for cooking a variety of dishes, including baked goods, rice dishes and salad dressings.  Grape seed oil's high heat tolerance makes it a great cooking oil, it has a high smoke point, meaning it can cook at high temperatures without breaking down.

Grapeseed oil has many benefits, including moisturizing, protecting and rejuvenating the skin, and nourishing and smoothing the hair. It is also used as a carrier oil in aromatherapy. The major constituent of grapeseed oil is Linoleic Acid, also known as 18:4 or Omega 6, which is an essential fatty acid that is needed to maintain healthy skin. Linoleic Acid is found in many skin care products, including moisturizers, lotions, cleansers and sunscreens.

As an essential oil, grapeseed oil contains antioxidants to help protect the skin from damaging free radicals which can cause premature aging. Free radicals can damage skin by destroying collagen and elastin, which are important for skin structure, texture and tone.

For cosmetic formulations, grapeseed oil is a good emollient, which means it has a deep-penetrating moisturizing effect. It is suitable for sensitive skin and is widely used in lotions, creams, and serums for moisturizing, softening, and weight-control. It is also often used as a makeup remover and in hair care formulations, including shampoos, conditioners, hair oils, and styling products.

Grape Seed Oil is refined to decrease its glyceride content (a type of fat). The refining process removes much of the natural vitamin E present, reducing the oil's antioxidant properties and increasing the shelf life. This is popular for a range of skincare applications.  The refined oil has a clear yellow color and can be deodorized, bleached, and deodorized again to increase its shelf life.
