Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.

Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Grapeseed oil derives from traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern use of grape seeds for skin health. The hydrogenated form was developed in the 20th century to create a stable, lighter-textured oil for cosmetic formulations.
