Functions
Emulsion Stabilising
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Traditional Use
Extracted as a byproduct of wine production, grapeseed oil became popular in skincare during the late 20th century for its lightweight texture and antioxidant properties, though it has no significant historical traditional use.
