Grapeseed Oil

Herbology Grapeseed Oil is 100% pure, cold-pressed Vitis vinifera seed oil — a byproduct of the winemaking process transformed into one of the most skin-compatible and versatile carrier oils available. Extracted from premium grape seeds, it is exceptionally rich in linoleic acid (~70%) — the essential omega-6 fatty acid that is frequently deficient in oily and acne-prone skin types, and whose deficiency is directly linked to excess sebum production, clogged pores, and breakouts. This makes Grapeseed Oil one of the most scientifically well-supported natural oils for oily and acne-prone skin — not despite being an oil, but because of its specific fatty acid profile.

Its near-colourless, ultra-lightweight texture absorbs almost instantly into skin without any residue or greasiness — making it one of the most wearable carrier oils for daily facial use, particularly for those who have historically avoided facial oils due to oily or combination skin. Its natural OPC (oligomeric proanthocyanidin) content — powerful antioxidants derived from grape seeds — provides meaningful protection against free radical damage and supports skin clarity and tone. On hair, its lightweight nature makes it an excellent conditioning oil that adds shine and improves manageability without weighing hair down. As a DIY formulation base, its neutral colour, near-odourless character, and excellent skin compatibility make it one of the most versatile and widely used carrier oils in professional cosmetic formulation. 100% pure, cold-pressed, no additives.

• DIY beauty formulations (serums, creams, hair treatments)
• Massage oil base

How to Use

• Face (oily / acne-prone skin): Apply 2–3 drops to clean skin morning or night. Massage gently until absorbed. Its ultra-lightweight texture makes it suitable for daily use even on oily skin.
• Hair conditioning: Apply a small amount to damp or dry hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Distribute evenly for added shine and manageability.
• Scalp treatment: Massage a small amount into scalp, leave for 20–30 minutes, then wash out.
• DIY formulations: Use as a primary carrier oil base for serums, facial oils, and hair treatments. Its neutral character makes it ideal for blending with active ingredients and essential oils.
• Massage: Use alone or blend with other carrier oils for a lightweight, fast-absorbing massage experience.
• Tip: Grapeseed Oil’s high linoleic acid content makes it oxidize faster than more saturated oils — store in a cool, dark place and use within 6 months of opening. Adding a few drops of Vitamin E Oil to the bottle extends its shelf life significantly.
