Grapeseed oil on (your hair)

Grape seed oil isn’t as popular as pressed argan, coconut or sweet almond oil.
That’s a shame, because it’s a very precious oil for our skin and hair, rich in nutrients and fatty acids.

Grape-seed oil is obtained from the grapevine and cold-pressed from the seeds of its fruit.
It’s an oil that absorbs well and fairly quickly, without causing skin discomfort such as itching or burning.
Nor does it clog pores, hinder gas exchange or form a sticky, greasy film on the skin.
It is suitable for all skin types, especially combination, oily and acne-prone skin.

It can also be successfully used for dry, sensitive, vascular and mature skin, as well as for hair, especially dry, damaged hair.
The main advantage of grapeseed oil is its high content of essential fatty acids (over 90% of its composition), which sets it apart from other oils.
Grape-seed oil is light yellow in color and has a mild, barely perceptible aftertaste.

It contains many important health ingredients, such as

• Linoleic, oleic, alpha-linolenic, palmitoleic
• Phenols and sterols
• Vitamin E
• Vitamins A, B6
• Phospholipids
• Minerals such as potassium and calcium

As you can see, it contains elementary components that enable our entire body to function better and more efficiently.

Grape seed oil for hair

Grape seed oil can be combined with your favorite hair mask or conditioner.
It regenerates hair, softens it and prevents excessive frizz.
The oil works well on damaged and very porous hair.
Applying grapeseed oil will help tame dry, tangled strands.

Grape seed oil in cosmetics

The most important and popular use of grapeseed oil is, of course, in cosmetics and personal care in the broadest sense, especially at home.
Grape seed oil has a slightly lubricating effect, which moisturizes the skin.
In turn, when applied to the hair, it permanently softens it.
It prevents excessive water loss, which has a positive effect on skin and hair moisture levels.
Thanks to its composition of vitamins A, E, K and D, which provide great support for the skin’s natural protective barrier, grapeseed oil is considered one of the most nutritious oils of plant origin.

Strengthens capillaries

It unquestionably promotes skin regeneration and strengthens capillaries.
Thanks to linoleic acid, flavonoids and vitamin E, the oil combats free radicals and regenerates the skin’s protective barrier.
Its antioxidant potential is therefore extremely high.
It makes a significant contribution to delaying the skin’s aging process, and also improves its firmness and elasticity.

What should be important for people struggling with skin problems is the fact that grapeseed oil has a soothing, anti-inflammatory effect.
It supports the skin’s natural repair processes.
In fact, it acts as a tonic and visibly reduces acne lesions.
It helps make pores less visible and prevents the formation of blackheads.
At the same time, this means it’s a great support for soothing inflamed skin and regenerating irritated epidermis.
It soothes and calms, reducing itching and burning.

Grape seed oil can be used with your favorite lotion or body cream.
It will reinforce their effect and also moisturize the skin, making it smooth and supple.
It can also be used for massages.
It is particularly recommended as a base oil, with the addition of essential oils.
The treatment moisturizes the skin and provides a very pleasant aromatic experience.

Dry, damaged hair

Thanks to its lightness, it doesn’t clog pores or leave an oily mask on the skin, which is why it’s so often used in natural cosmetics and skincare.
It really is suitable for all skin types, but combination, oily and acne-prone complexions in particular will feel its good effects.
However, this doesn’t change the fact that it’s also perfect for dry, sensitive, vascular and mature skin.
It’s also good for hair care, especially for dry, damaged hair.

Grapeseed oil prevents excessive water loss from dry, damaged hair and skin. The oil moisturizes, nourishes and regenerates dry, damaged and damaged hair, making it easier to style and restoring its natural softness and shine.

Grapeseed oil should be used like any other vegetable oil.
It can be applied directly to the skin, combined with cosmetics (creams, gels, showers, body balms) or rubbed into the hair.

You can also use it to care for chapped skin on your hands and feet (I encourage you to do so, as the oil is really effective at moisturizing and smoothing them), on the ends of your hair and in homemade masks.
It’s also perfect as a massage oil for relaxing or anti-cellulite massages.
When applied to the skin, it penetrates quickly and leaves no greasy film.

Its origin

Grape seed oil, as the name suggests, is extracted from the production of grape wine and is a waste product.
For hundreds of years, grape seeds were considered waste and were not used.
It’s only today that modern technology makes it possible to extract oils even from non-oily seeds such as grape seeds, or from other fruits such as raspberries.

Grape seed oil production began in 1560, and several factories started production in 1790.
Grape seeds contain between 6% and 20% oil.
It is produced on an industrial scale in France and Italy.

Its properties

We can safely say that grapeseed oil has extraordinary properties, and these are mainly due to the fact that it is distinguished by a very high content of unsaturated fatty acids.
Grape seed oil is also an excellent antioxidant.
It contains high levels of vitamin E, flavonoids, lecithin and Resveratrol, an antioxidant with strong protective properties.

This is how grape seed oil protects the skin against free radicals and effectively delays the skin’s aging process.
For those who attach importance to the use of such products in natural cosmetics, it is also important that grape seed oil is highly compatible with our skin’s natural sebum, making it recommended for the care of acne-prone skin.
In addition to the ingredients mentioned above, it also contains a good quantity of minerals, giving it strong nourishing properties.
