Natures Shield Grape seed oil is cold press-extracted from the seeds of grapes. One of the oldest cultivated plants in the world, it was grown in Ancient Egypt, Babylon and India, for its fruit, juice and wine. The first mention of grape seed oil is from 1569 in Europe. The oil is currently used in cosmetics and skincare and as a nutritious oil in the food industry. It contains Vitamin E which is a cosmetic chemical that protects against drying effects of the sun and moisturises ageing skin and a cosmetic component called proanthocyanidin, which has been shown to cover up uneven skin tone. Omega chain fatty acids, make it deeply moisturising to the skin.
