This exquisite oily liquid, ranging in color from yellow to amber, is a testament to natural purity.

Description and Key Features

Grape Oil Extract (INCI: Vitis vinifera Oil Extract) is a highly concentrated botanical extract derived from the Vitis vinifera plant, renowned for its rich antioxidant profile and nourishing qualities. Unlike simple grape seed oil, this extract captures a broader spectrum of beneficial compounds through a specialized extraction method using a lipid base, making its active components readily available for various applications.

Key features and benefits:

• Rich in Antioxidants: Grapes are celebrated for their high content of polyphenols, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidins. Our Grape Oil Extract delivers these powerful antioxidants, which help protect cells from oxidative stress and free radical damage, a primary cause of premature aging.

• Nourishing and Emollient: As an oily liquid, it provides deep nourishment and emollient properties, helping to soften and smooth the skin.

• Anti-Aging Support: Its antioxidant capabilities contribute to minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful and radiant complexion.

• Skin Revitalization: Helps to improve skin vitality and resilience, making it appear healthier and more vibrant.

• Fat-Soluble: Its fat-soluble nature makes it perfect for integration into oil-based serums, creams, balms, and other anhydrous formulations.

• Natural Product: Derived from natural plant raw materials, ensuring a product free from harsh chemicals, making it suitable for natural and organic formulations.

• Gentle Extraction: The method of extraction on oil, with controlled heating, ensures that the delicate beneficial compounds of the grape are preserved.

Recommended usage concentration is 0.05-5% in the active phase. It's crucial not to heat the extract above 40°C during formulation to preserve its sensitive active compounds and ensure maximum efficacy.

2. Combine Phase A Oils: In a clean glass beaker, combine the Jojoba Oil, Rosehip Oil, and Squalane. Gently stir to ensure they are well mixed.

3. Add Grape Oil Extract and Vitamin E: Add the Grape Oil Extract and Vitamin E to the oil mixture. Ensure the mixture is below 40°C (104°F) before adding the Grape Oil Extract. Stir gently until thoroughly combined.

4. Add Essential Oils (Optional Phase B): If using, add the Frankincense and Lavender essential oils to the mixture. Stir gently.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Dosage of Grape Oil Extract: The 5% concentration of Grape Oil Extract in this recipe provides a significant antioxidant boost. You can adjust this down to 0.05% for lighter formulations or higher for targeted treatments, always staying within the recommended range.

• Temperature Sensitivity: It is crucial not to heat the Grape Oil Extract above 40°C (104°F) during formulation. Always add it to the cool-down phase or to unheated oil blends to preserve its active compounds.

• Storage: Store the finished face oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its delicate compounds and extend shelf life. Dark glass bottles are recommended to protect against light degradation.

• Layering: For optimal results, apply this face oil as the last step in your skincare routine at night, or before your SPF in the morning.
