Grape seed oil

Grape seed oil (CAS 8024-22-4), also known as GSO, is a light fixed oil cold-pressed or solvent-extracted from the seeds of Vitis vinifera.

Where is Grape seed oil used?

• Personal care: carrier oil in serums, massage oils and leave-on skin formulations
• Topical delivery: low viscosity supports even active ingredient distribution
• Food: culinary oil and functional ingredient in dressings, marinades and specialty products
• Industrial and metalworking: bio-based lubricants and cutting fluids, a renewable alternative to mineral oil
• Nutraceuticals: solvent and carrier in softgel and liquid supplement formulations
• It serves as a medium for fat-soluble vitamins and other bioactive compounds.

Good to know: Food-grade material typically conforms to FCC or regional edible oil standards; refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) grades are standard where color and odor consistency are required.

Commercial specifications

• Food-grade and cosmetic-grade are the primary commercial specifications
