GrapeSeed oil
Lightweight, fast-absorbing carrier oil with a dry feel. Great for face oils, body oils, cleansing oils, and emulsions where you want slip without heaviness.
Grapeseed Oil is a light, low-odour vegetable oil valued for its quick spread and non-greasy finish.
It helps improve slip and softness in both leave-on and rinse-off products, making it useful in face oils, body oils, cleansing oils, and moisturisers.
Because it is more oxidation-prone than heavier saturated oils, it performs best when you protect the formula with antioxidants and air-minimising packaging.
FEATURES
- Light, dry feel – fast absorbing with good slip.
- Great spread – improves glide in oils and emulsions.
- Versatile carrier – fits face, body, and cleansing concepts.
- Easy to blend – combines well with esters, butters, and actives in oil phase systems.
BEST FOR
- Face oils
- Body oils
- Cleansing oils
- Lightweight lotions
- Serums (oil-based)
- Massage oils
FORMULATION GUIDELINES
| INCI | Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil |
|---|---|
| Type | Carrier oil (lightweight emollient) |
| Solubility | Oil soluble |
| SAP Value | ~188–194 mg KOH/g (typical) |
| Iodine Value | ~125–145 (typical) |
| Use Rate | 2–100% depending on product type. 5–30% common in emulsions and serums. 50–100% common in body oils and massage oils. |
| Best Phase | Oil phase / anhydrous base |
| pH Compatibility | Not pH dependent. pH N/A for anhydrous systems. |
| Temperature Tolerance | We recommend avoiding prolonged high heat. Add in cool down for emulsions when possible to reduce oxidation stress. |
| Pro Tip | Because grapeseed oil is relatively high in unsaturation, protect it with antioxidants (tocopherol is a strong baseline). Use air-minimising packaging where possible, especially for leave-on oils, to reduce oxidation and odour drift. For a drier finish, blend with coco-caprylate/caprate or C12-15 alkyl benzoate. |
| Appearance | Clear pale yellow to greenish-yellow liquid |
| Stability Notes | Oxidation-prone compared to more saturated oils. Odour and colour can shift if not protected with antioxidants and good packaging. |
| Storage | Keep sealed, cool and dry, away from heat and direct sunlight. |
