Grapeseed Oil

Meet grapeseed oil—the jack-of-all-trades ingredient you should be incorporating into your skincare routine. Long and widely used in the wellness space, this natural ingredient is starting to find a place on every skincare enthusiast’s vanity shelf. We’re here with a few reasons—and easy ways—to make this ingredient your next skincare and lip care essential.



What is grapeseed oil?

Grapeseed oil is exactly what it sounds like: a lightweight oil extracted from the pressed seeds of grapes! At fresh, the grapeseed oil used to make our fan-favorite Sugar lip balms and facial scrubs is a by-product of the wine industry—meaning it is upcycled (aka repurposed) to help reduce excess waste.
