Grapeseed Butter


Average Product Rating: 4.3 / 5 (Based on 8 Customer Reviews)


Grapeseed Butter is obtained by the cold pressing of selected fruits followed by a full refining process. The result is a soft, creamy butter that is rich in vitamins E & C and Beta Carotene.

Common Uses: Grapeseed Butter possesses regenerative and restructuring qualities which allow a better control of skin moisture. It exhibits good spread-ability on the skin, making it ideal as a massage butter or body balm, and it can be added to soap, creams, lotions, lip balms, body butters, hair pomades, bath bombs and more.

Recommended Usage:
Lotions & Creams: 2 - 20 %
Balms: 5 – 100 %
Bar Soaps: 5 - 12 %
Hair Conditioners: 1 – 5 %

When adding butters to creams and lotions, it might be necessary to gently warm them until the texture can be incorporated into the final product. Using a hand blender, create a vortex with your cream or lotion and drizzle your melted butter to fully incorporate. For addition in soaps, the general rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon per pound. As with most raw materials, results may vary, so we strongly recommend small, lab scale batches prior to any commercial manufacturing.

Shelf Life: This butter should be stored in a cool dark place and has a shelf-life of approximately 1 - 2 years when stored properly.

Not necessarily what I expected, for what I needed it for I would give a 2 or 3 stars but I could see it being nice in other applications. It was much softer and more grainy than what I expected wish I had read the reviews before buying.

I found this butter to be surprisingly grainy. I was hoping to use it straight, but perhaps it will smoothen when mixed with other ingredients. Otherwise, it has a nice spreadable texture and smells like grapeseed oil.

This grapeseed butter is amazing in my body butters. Combined with some shea butter, oils and other products, it turns creamy and smooth, without the graininess of the original product. I wish I had ordered a lot more!

I would give this butter three to four stars. It's very creamy in that it is midway between a liquid and a solid substance. The viscosity is roughly that of petroleum jelly, but the product is quite grainy as the previous reviewer mentioned. (These are not hard granules such as husks - I'm honestly not sure what causes this butter to be so grainy). Heating or melting, then recooling the butter DOES NOT make the butter smooth - it returns to its original state. Therefore this is not a butter to be used alone on skin as one might do with Sweet Almond Butter. Where this butter really shines though is in combination with other, harder butters such as shea or tucuma butter. Grapeseed should not comprise more than 50% (and should probably comprise an even lower percentage) of such blends though, as they too will become too granulated to be pleasant. This butter combined with shea butter, glycerine and essential oils makes a really nice balm or cream.

Can you believe I had never tried this stuff before? I love it because it is softer then some butters, and will be fantastic in my lotions! A little grainy, but it should be fine! I like finding unique and fabulous butters like this because it just gives your products that little extra to brag about when compared with the competition!
