Couldn't load pickup availability
Bio Grape Seed CO₂ Oil + White Copal is a refined botanical blend combining grape seed oil obtained through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction with the bright, fresh, and softly balsamic character of white copal resin.
Grape seed CO₂ oil is valued for its lightweight texture, excellent spreadability, and naturally conditioning composition. It is especially suitable for facial oils, lightweight body products, scalp treatments, hair serums, massage blends, cleansing oils, and formulations designed to leave the skin feeling soft without an excessively heavy or greasy finish.
The CO₂ extraction process uses carbon dioxide under controlled pressure and temperature to obtain the oil-soluble constituents of the grape seeds. This method avoids conventional organic solvents and helps preserve the natural lipid profile and valuable unsaponifiable components of the raw material.
White copal adds a delicate aromatic dimension with fresh citrus-like, green, balsamic, softly woody, and incense-inspired nuances. The combination creates a versatile oil for modern skincare, haircare, natural perfumery, massage, and aromatic self-care rituals.
