One of the major factors for skin aging is the
free radicals. Free radicals are
produced as part of the natural biological process. They are also created in response to
ultraviolet radiation. Free-radicals not
only negatively impact the ability of natural body lipids to maintain proper
moisture levels but also cause the breakdown of collagen, the natural liner of
the skin. Both lead to dry skin and
wrinkle-- the symptom of aging.
Grapeseed oil is known to contain powerful antioxidants and beneficial fatty acids. The unsaturated fatty acids contained in grapeseed oil include linoleic acid, alpha-linoleic acid, oleic acid, and palmitoleic acid. The saturated fatty acids contained in grapeseed oil include palmitic acid and stearic acid. In addition, grape seed oil is rich in antioxidants such as phenols (tocopherols) and steroids (campesterol, beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol). Research has known that grapeseed oil, when applied topically to the human skin, provides the beneficial antioxidant properties to the outermost skin layers.

The human body provides some natural antioxidant
protection to the skin through normal blood flow. However, poor dietary habits
often lead to inadequate blood flow through the tiny blood vessels of the skin,
particularly near the surface. As a result, blocking of essential nutrition to
the skin occurs.
