Common uses: Grapeseed oil is a very popular, all purpose carrier oil. It is used by manufacturers (particularly as a conditioning agent in hair care products), aromatherapists, and massage therapists.
Grapeseed oil is also used as a base oil for many creams and lotions. It is the preferred carrier oil for many massage therapists because of its light, satin like finish. It also has some astringent qualities and is good for oily, acne prone skin.

Consistency: Typical and characteristic of carrier oils.

Absorption: It is very well absorbed and may leave a slight oil feeling left on skin.
