What does Vitus Vinifera Oil do in a cosmetic formula?
This ingredient is a lightweight emollient oil that softens skin, improves slip, and helps reduce transepidermal water loss in creams, lotions, balms, and facial oils.
Is Vitus Vinifera Oil clean?

Is Vitus Vinifera Oil sustainable?
It is plant-derived and often sourced from a seed co-product stream, which is favorable from a resource-use perspective. It is readily biodegradable, though agricultural practices and refining methods can affect the full footprint.
Is Vitus Vinifera Oil COSMOS-approved?
It is permitted under COSMOS-natural and COSMOS-organic when sourced and processed according to the standard. It fits Green Chemistry well when mechanically pressed or minimally refined, with renewable feedstock and good biodegradability.
How does Vitus Vinifera Oil work chemically?
This material is mostly triglycerides, typically rich in linoleic acid with smaller oleic, palmitic, and stearic fractions. Use levels commonly range from 1 to 20% in emulsions and up to 100% in anhydrous oil blends, and its high unsaturation means antioxidant support and low-oxygen storage improve stability.
