Ingredient Spotlight: Organic Grape Seed Oil
Summary: Organic grape seed oil is a gentle, nourishing ingredient known for its ability to hydrate and soothe the delicate skin around the eyes. Rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, it helps support skin comfort and maintain a healthy moisture barrier.
Organic grape seed oil, derived from the seeds of Vitis vinifera grapes, is a lightweight, non-greasy oil that absorbs easily into the skin. It is naturally rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that helps maintain the skin’s water barrier, reducing dryness and supporting softness. Its antioxidant compounds, including vitamin E and polyphenols, help protect the skin from environmental stressors while promoting a feeling of comfort and calm.
Because the skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive than other areas, hydration is key. Organic grape seed oil’s gentle nature makes it an ideal ingredient for eye care formulations. It helps lock in moisture without leaving a heavy residue, making it suitable for daily use.

You’ll find it in our Dark Circle Eraser Lidstick, where it helps nourish while caffeine and kakadu plum work to brighten your under eyes, and in our Eye Rescue Lidstick, where it works alongside other natural oils to restore softness and comfort.
For those seeking a simple, effective way to support hydration and soothe delicate skin, organic grape seed oil is a trusted choice backed by research into its antioxidant and moisturizing properties.
