The scientific name is Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil. High in linoleic acid and OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins); anti-inflammatory. This mechanism is consistent across properly formulated products, which means the real variable is concentration and delivery system.
Typical working concentration is 1–30%. Best suited to oily, combination, acne-prone skin. Primary applications: lightweight moisturiser, antioxidant, mildly astringent.
Works well with: Vitamin C, vitamin E.
Low comedogenic rating (1–2); absorbs quickly; high linoleic content suits acne-prone.
