Grapeseed oil is one of the lightest carrier oils available. It is noted to have antioxidant properties and to contain nutrients that trap free radicals generated by the skin lipids. It is high in omega-6 fatty acids, which may soothe skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. It is readily absorbed by the skin, so it is desirable as a massage oil. It is suitable choice for acne and cellulite issues. It contains campesterol, B-sitosterol and stigmasterol, which are all noted to help with barrier repair and reduction of inflammation and itching. It is considered an excellent choice for damaged and stressed skin such as strech marks. Used daily on the feet it may help with itching, flaking and odor.

Some apply a scalp massage oil nightly and wrap their hair with a cotton turben or shower cap then wash their hair in the morning. Others might opt to apply and leave on for 15 minutes or more then wash the hair. There is not a right or wrong way to do this, so find a method that works for you. We'd love to hear feedback if you wish to share.

Testimony
We teachers are exposed to so many different "bugs" at school. The oils definitely help in prevention and faster recovery as well as with classroom cleaning. I used Manuka with just a tiny bit of Red Thyme in a grapeseed carrier, rubbed on chest and throat to successfully fight off several different upper respiratory bugs. - Suzanne
