Grape Seed Oil

Grape Seed Oils pressed from specific grape varieties including chardonnay and riesling grapes are available. In general, however, Grape Seed Oil tends to be solvent extracted. Be sure to check the method of extraction for the oil that you purchase.

Grape Seed Oil is commonly used in aromatherapy as it is a fairly all-purpose oil and can be used in a wide array of applications ranging from massage to skin care. From a nutritive standpoint, the most noteworthy aspect of Grapeseed Oil is its content of the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid. Grape Seed Oil, however, has a relatively short shelf life.
