Facial Oils vs. Serums

Rose & Grape Serum, Resroli Serum, & Cali Harvest Serum

It seems a great time to quickly discuss the difference between our Grapeseed Facial Oils and Serums here at The Grapeseed Company! There has been more than one question as to what the differences between them are, so let's shed some light on the situation.

The facial oils are lighter- they aren't as rich in vitamins and antioxidants, have less ingredients overall, and are more quickly absorbed into the skin. They are great for both moisturizing (either worn alone or layered beneath a cream moisturizer or sunscreen) as well as for makeup removal, giving them even greater value for their price (just $18 for 2.3oz)!

The serums are also oil based,  however several differences exist. Our serums have been infused with herbs and flowers for 30 days, have stronger essential oils added in, and are more complex in the ingredients that they comprise of. Each of the serums have special qualities about them which make them more effective in targeted use for conditions such as age spots, sun damage, and blemishes in addition to being effective moisturizers that target fine lines and wrinkles ($30 for 2.3oz, $18 for 1.2oz).

Regardless of your preference, all of the facial oils and serums are packed with antioxidants like resveratrol from botanical ingredients such as grapeseed oil, are free of parabens/phthalates/sulfates/gluten, are vegan, never are tested on animals plus are naturally preserved with vitamin E. Try them out for yourself or give them as the perfect skin care gift to one you love!

NEW RELEASE // Avocado Grapeseed Facial Oil $18.00

California is known for its avocados; in fact, a festival to celebrate this native fruit occurs just south of Santa Barbara annually. Avocado oil is rich in omega fatty acids and vitamins A, E & D. In addition, avocado oil is a natural humectant, or an ingredient that prevents loss of moisture thus helping to keep your skin's natural hydration, rendering it highly effective as a moisturizer for normal to very dry skin types.

Blended here with antioxidant packed grapeseed and jojoba oils plus lightly scented with pure essential oils of jasmine, rose & sandalwood, this hydrating, rejuvenative facial oil will soothe and soften even the driest complexion.

Experience radiant moisture from two of California's most famous and nutrient packed crops for just $18!
