Grape Seed Oil
Experience the nourishing benefits of Grape Seed essential oil, carefully extracted from the seeds of Vitis Vinifera. This meticulous process is important to prevent loss of nutrients and rancidity. Despite many sellers advertising it, Grape Seed oil cannot be totally cold pressed. The key is therefore to apply heat at a minimum amount and duration, to salvage the oil's natural integrity. Grapes, native to the Mediterranean region, Central Europe, and Southwestern Asia, hold a special place in culinary traditions worldwide. Belonging to the Vitaceae family within the Plantae Kingdom, this versatile fruit is celebrated across cultures and utilised in various forms. Good quality oil is slightly yellow with a greenish tinge. Darker than yellow color means higher citrus pulp content which leads to a stronger odour, faster potential for degradation and lower potency.
