Cold pressed from grape seeds, grapeseed oil is one of the lightest carrier oils available. Pale yellow-green in color, it is rich in EFA’s (essential fatty acids) and will not clog pores or leave an oily residue on the skin. Its astringent qualities make it a great choice for facial preparations, or for oily or teenage skin. Can be applied directly to the skin for use as a moisturizer, but it is also a popular choice for many massage therapists due to its ability to absorb quickly. Widely used for culinary purposes, it has a rich flavor and slightly nutty aroma with green herbaceous notes. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to refrigerate after opening.

- Essential oils are often too strong to apply undiluted to the skin and evaporate rapidly. This is where a good carrier oil comes into play. They do not evaporate or have a very overpowering aroma and so blend well with essential oils making them less volatile. This combination is perfect for all forms of body massage.

On the recommendation of the International Federation of Aromatherapists, TruGardens does not endorse taking essential oils internally unless specifically directed and prescribed by a qualified healthcare practitioner who is also trained in clinical aromatherapy. Avoid using during pregnancy, or if you suspect you might be pregnant, except on the advice of a qualified practitioner. Store all essential oil products safely out of reach of children. Essential oils are potent, and a little bit goes a long way. Do not use essential oils undiluted directly on the skin as they can cause irritation. Keep away from children, and do not apply near the eyes, mucous membranes, sensitive or broken skin. Every individual reacts differently to essential oils: Always perform a ‘test patch’ properly diluted in carrier oil to determine sensitivity. This statement has not been approved, assessed or otherwise endorsed by the FDA. TruGardens does not in any way support the use of these products for the diagnosis, treatment, cure or prevention of any disease.
