The benefits of grapeseed oil
At The Know, we carefully select each ingredient in our formulations to deliver real results while respecting your skin barrier. One ingredient that appears in multiple products—our Well Gel cleanser and Skin Pro oil—is grapeseed oil (Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil).
So why are we such big fans of this lightweight yet powerful botanical oil? Let’s break it down.
The Power of Grapeseed Oil
Grapeseed oil is a light, fast-absorbing oil that is rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins. It is extracted from the seeds of grapes, a byproduct of the winemaking process, making it a sustainable and skin-loving choice.
1. It’s Packed with Skin-Boosting Nutrients
-
Omega-6 fatty acids (linoleic acid): Helps strengthen the skin barrier and reduce water loss, keeping skin hydrated.
-
Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant that protects against environmental stressors and promotes skin healing.
-
Polyphenols: These compounds help fight free radical damage, which can contribute to premature ageing.
2. It’s Non-Greasy and Fast-Absorbing
Unlike heavier oils, grapeseed oil absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. This makes it ideal for all skin types, including oily and combination skin. It provides deep hydration without clogging pores.
3. It Helps Balance and Calm the Skin
Grapeseed oil has natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it a great choice for sensitive or acne-prone skin. It helps to soothe irritation, reduce redness, and support overall skin health.
