Background Story
The name Vitis vinifera means 'wine-bearing vine' and reflects the long history of grape cultivation throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. Grapeseed Oil was originally produced in France and is now widely manufactured in Spain, Italy, and California.
The oil is extracted from the seeds left behind after wine production, making excellent use of a valuable natural by-product. Despite the seeds containing only a small amount of oil, the resulting product is highly prized for its light consistency, excellent skin feel, and versatility.
Today Grapeseed Oil is one of the most popular carrier oils used by massage therapists because it spreads easily, absorbs quickly, and leaves the skin feeling smooth rather than oily.
