The CO₂ extract of grape seeds (Vitis vinifera) is a symbol of natural luxury and efficacy, capturing the essence of the Mediterranean vine through clean, solvent-free extraction.

Harvested from the seeds of ripe wine grapes, this extract embodies powerful antioxidant and rejuvenating properties. Its composition is rich in proanthocyanidins, tocopherols, linoleic acid, and natural resveratrol, making it one of the most valued actives for anti-aging, barrier repair, and skin protection.

Used since ancient times for beauty and healing, grapes have represented vitality and renewal. Modern science now confirms what traditional Mediterranean remedies knew intuitively: grape seed extract nourishes, protects, and restores youthful skin at a cellular level.

Extraction Method and Purity

This supercritical CO₂ extraction process uses carbon dioxide under precise pressure and temperature to gently extract lipophilic compounds from grape seeds.
Unlike cold-pressed oils, CO₂ extraction preserves a broader range of bioactive molecules, including sterols, unsaponifiable fractions, and delicate antioxidants that are often lost in traditional mechanical extraction.

Advantages of CO₂ extraction:

-Solvent-free, residue-free, and eco-friendly process.

-Maintains the natural balance of polyphenols and essential fatty acids.

-Prevents oxidation and degradation of sensitive actives.

-Yields a cleaner, more stable oil with superior performance in skincare formulations.



Chemical Composition: 

The grape seed CO₂ extract is a nutritionally and cosmetically potent source of antioxidants and essential lipids.

-Linoleic acid (C18:2) – 65–75 %

-Oleic acid (C18:1) – 10–20 %

-Palmitic and stearic acids – 5–10 % combined

-Proanthocyanidins (OPCs) – up to 5 %

-Tocopherols (Vitamin E) – 0.2–0.4 %

-Phytosterols (β-sitosterol, campesterol) – 0.5–1 %

-Trace resveratrol and phenolics – antioxidant, anti-inflammatory


This synergy of fatty acids, antioxidants, and polyphenols delivers multi-dimensional protection for the skin and hair.

Cosmetic Benefits

-Anti-aging and antioxidant defense

The high concentration of linoleic acid and OPCs protects cell membranes against oxidative stress, helping to reduce fine lines, sagging, and dullness.
It supports collagen integrity, improves elasticity, and visibly enhances luminosity.

-Barrier repair and hydration

Grape seed CO₂ extract is rich in essential fatty acids, reinforcing the skin’s natural lipid barrier and preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
It absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy residue — perfect for light, elegant emulsions and serums.

-Brightening and complexion balance

Regular use helps reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone thanks to the synergistic action of resveratrol and proanthocyanidins.
It brings a natural, radiant glow to the complexion.

-Hair and scalp rejuvenation

Improves scalp microcirculation, reduces dryness, and strengthens the hair shaft.
A key active in anti-frizz serums, scalp tonics, and lightweight hair oils.
