Extraction process :

Grape seed oil is extracted from grape seeds (Vitis vinifera), which are a by-product of the wine-making process. The seeds are harvested after the grapes have been pressed to produce wine.

The grape seeds are separated from the other components (skin, pulp) and then cold-pressed to extract the oil. This process involves pressing the seeds at low temperature, which preserves the quality and properties of the oil.

Its light, non-greasy texture makes it an excellent moisturizer for all skin types, even the most sensitive, leaving skin soft and smooth without clogging pores. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, it can help soothe skin irritations, redness and blemishes, promoting a more even, radiant complexion.

Unsaponifiables:

  • Vitamin E (tocopherols): A powerful antioxidant, vitamin E helps protect the skin against free radical damage and contributes to the preservation and stability of soaps.
  • Polyphenols: Include compounds such as oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs), which are among the most powerful antioxidants, surpassing even vitamin C and vitamin E in terms of antioxidant capacity. They have anti-inflammatory properties and can help improve skin elasticity.
  • Phytosterols: such as beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol, which have beneficial effects on skin repair and hydration, reducing inflammation and helping to protect the skin barrier.
  • Squalene: A natural emollient that helps soften skin and improve texture without leaving an oily residue. It also helps restore the skin's lipidic film.


Its saponification value
:

The saponification value of grapeseed oil is 133, which means that 0.133 g of NAOH soda are needed to saponify 1 g of grapeseed oil. This information will help you calculate your own recipe.

In your calculator, choose "Grapeseed Oil" or "Huile de Pépin de raisin".

This oil is sensitive to oxidation, so its content in your recipe should be between 5% and 15% maximum.

Tips :

Mix grapeseed oil with other skin-friendly oils, such asolive oil or coconut oil, to obtain a balanced, nourishing soap.
.

Use grapeseed oil at a rate of 5% to 10% maximum in your recipe. Too much oil can lead to an over-greasy soap, which may have a gelatinous texture and be more susceptible to rapid oxidation.

If you want to increase the lather of your soap, you can add ingredients such as sugar or honey to the trace. This will help create a more abundant, luxurious foam (2% or 3% of the total weight of the oils).

Additions / Superfatting :

A little tip for oiling: add grapeseed oil to the fine trace of soap to preserve its moisturizing properties.

Grapeseed oil tends to give a medium trace, which means it will thicken fairly quickly. Be careful not to overmix your soap paste once it has reached the trace, to avoid an overly thick or grainy soap.

Add natural antioxidants, such as vitamin E, to your recipe to help prevent oxidation of the grapeseed oil and extend the life of your soap.

Mussels:

Be aware that the reaction between soda and oils can generate heat. Use our special molds and monitor the temperature throughout the process to avoid freezing your soaps.

Our molds are flexible, making them easy to remove from the mold once the soap has hardened. What's more, they enable better heat retention during the saponification process, promoting optimal soap setting.

Tips and Usage for Solid Shampoo and Conditioner :

By integrating grape seed oil, you'll obtain a solid shampoo ideal for moisturized, protected and shiny hair.
