Grapeseed Oil for Skin

Lightweight Hydration with a Kawakawa Twist

Grapeseed oil for skin is a trusted favourite in modern natural skincare. Known for its silky texture and fast absorption, it provides lightweight hydration that suits a wide range of skin types. At Eckco, we take this versatile oil one step further by infusing it with kawakawa, a native New Zealand botanical valued for generations.

What Makes Grapeseed Oil Stand Out?

Extracted from the seeds of wine grapes, grapeseed oil is naturally rich in linoleic acid, a key omega-6 fatty acid. It absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy residue, making it ideal for daytime use and layering under other products. With a mild, barely-there scent and smooth consistency, it blends effortlessly into both minimalist and layered skincare routines.

Thanks to its balanced profile of fatty acids and lightweight finish, grapeseed oil is often used in products designed for combination or easily congested skin. It provides soft moisture while helping support the skin’s natural barrier—without feeling heavy or occlusive.

Why Infuse Grapeseed Oil with Kawakawa?

In many Eckco formulations, grapeseed oil serves as the base oil for a slow kawakawa infusion. Kawakawa is a native plant with a long history of use in traditional Māori herbal practices. When steeped gently in oils like grapeseed, it releases its plant compounds, resulting in a gentle, green-toned infusion with botanical character.

This pairing brings out the best in both ingredients. The neutral nature of grapeseed oil acts as an ideal carrier for the distinctive properties of kawakawa. Together, they create a subtle yet effective foundation for multi-use skincare products, from face oils to daily balms.

Using Grapeseed Oil in Modern Skincare

Grapeseed oil can be used alone or as part of a blend. It works well in oils, moisturisers, or even cleansing formulations thanks to its gentle emollient properties. Many choose it as a base oil because it supports hydration without clogging pores, leaving skin feeling smooth and calm.

Who Might Enjoy Kawakawa Infused Grapeseed Oil?

Because it’s lightweight and non-greasy, kawakawa infused grapeseed oil may suit those with combination or reactive skin. It layers well with other natural oils such as rosehip, passionfruit seed, or jojoba, and can be applied morning or night. Whether you’re building a simple skincare routine or exploring plant-powered blends, this oil is a reliable option.
