Description and Key Features

Grape Oil Extract (INCI: Vitis vinifera Oil Extract) is a highly concentrated botanical extract derived from grape components, rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids. Its oil-soluble nature ensures easy integration into lipid-based formulations, delivering powerful skin-nourishing and protecting benefits.

Key features and benefits:

• Rich Antioxidant Profile: Grape Oil Extract is renowned for its high concentration of polyphenols, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins, potent antioxidants that combat free radicals. This helps protect the skin from environmental damage and premature aging.

• Nourishing and Moisturizing: As an oily liquid, it deeply nourishes and moisturizes the skin, helping to maintain its elasticity and suppleness. It forms a protective barrier that reduces trans-epidermal water loss.

• Anti-inflammatory Properties: The extract possesses natural anti-inflammatory compounds that can help soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and promote a calm complexion.

• Skin Rejuvenation: Regular use can contribute to a more even skin tone, improved texture, and a youthful glow due to its regenerative properties.

• Natural and High Quality: Produced in France from natural plant raw materials, ensuring a high-quality product free from unnecessary additives.

• Gentle Extraction Method: The extraction process via heating at 50°C-60°C for 36-72 hours ensures a potent extract while preserving the integrity of its delicate compounds.

• Oil-Soluble: Its oil-soluble nature makes it a perfect fit for anhydrous (water-free) formulations and oil phases of emulsions.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Youthful Glow" Antioxidant Face Oil

Create a luxurious, antioxidant-rich face oil that deeply nourishes the skin, combats free radicals, and promotes a youthful complexion, utilizing our Grape Oil Extract.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, droppers, and the final amber glass bottle) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.

2. Combine Oil Base (Phase A): In a clean beaker, combine the Jojoba Oil, Rosehip Oil, and Squalane. Gently stir to mix them thoroughly. No heat is required for this phase.

3. Add Active Phase (Phase B): Ensure the oil base is at room temperature. Add the Grape Oil Extract, Vitamin E, Frankincense Essential Oil (if using), and Geranium Essential Oil (if using) to the oil mixture.

4. Gentle Mixing: Stir the mixture gently but thoroughly for several minutes to ensure all components are fully dispersed. Avoid vigorous shaking, as this can introduce air bubbles.

5. Bottle and Store: Carefully transfer the finished face oil into a clean, sterile amber glass bottle with a dropper. Amber glass helps protect the delicate oils from light degradation.

6. Label: Label your product clearly, including ingredients and date of manufacture.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Dosage of Grape Oil Extract: The 5% concentration in this recipe provides a potent antioxidant and nourishing effect. Always adhere to the recommended usage range of 0.05-5%.

• Heat Sensitivity: Remember to add Grape Oil Extract to the cool-down phase of any heated formulations (below 40°C) or directly into unheated oil blends, as it is heat-sensitive.

• Storage: Store the finished face oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat, to maintain its efficacy and extend shelf life.

• Application: After cleansing and toning, apply 2-4 drops of the oil to your face and neck, gently massaging it into the skin. Use morning and/or evening.

• Layering: This oil can be used alone or layered under your moisturizer for enhanced hydration and protection.

• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) before full application, especially if you have sensitive skin or are new to any of the ingredients.

• External Use Only: This recipe is for external, cosmetic use only.
