Description
Grapeseed Oil (Vitis vinifera): This wonderful cold pressed oil is a favorite for massage application because it offers anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties with little scent of its own. The cold pressed oil of grapes offers a slightly nutty aroma and flavor in a colorless liquid which has a thin consistency (light molecules) which allows it to penetrate the skin easily. Thus, it’s a favorite carrier oil to use with essential oils (SHeMeN).
Grapeseed oil works well for a full body or “spot” massage. It is often used by itself for massage, in addition to being a carrier oil.
Massage Application: Use by itself for massage OR add essential oils. When using with essential oils for massage, blend 8 – 9 drops of grapeseed oil to 1 – 3 drops of essential oil. For body massage safety, it’s best to keep your essential oil at 1 – 2% with the carrier oil being 98 – 99% of total volume to be appropriate to amount of skin area to be massaged.
