Grapeseed Carrier Oil

Grapeseed Oil is a refined material, extracted from the tiny seeds contained within the Grape.

Highly popular in massage, light green in colour with no odour and absorbed easily into the skin leaving minimal residue.

Many therapists use Grapeseed on its own in massage however we encourage customers to mix it into carrier oils such as Sweet Almond and Wheatgerm, both of which will increase the 4 to 5 month shelf life of Grapeseed. More Info >>
