What it is
Grapeseed oil is a by-product of winemaking — pressed from the seeds left after grapes are crushed. It's a light, low-odour 'dry' oil dominated by linoleic acid.
That high linoleic content and fast, matte absorption make it a popular pick for oily, combination and breakout-prone skin that wants conditioning without heaviness.
