Botany Works: Grapeseed Oil and Sunflower Oil

I am going to combine these two products in this blog post: Grapeseed Oil and Sunflower Oil from Botany Works, both in a 100ml, are two of my favorite products from them. If I remember correctly, I think I bought them at Alabang Town Center months ago. I knew about these products way back but never had the chance to try them because I had no idea what to do with it -- I was entirely clueless so to say. But I soon did my research and found the benefits of these oils, and from there, I reintroduced myself to these products and bought them as soon as I spotted them right in those shelves. 

The packaging (from the images) are already faded, and can be quite difficult reading what it says on the label.

The Grapeseed Oil from their website:

GRAPESEED OIL, Expeller-Pressed, Food Grade 

100mL - Php130
250mL - Php250
500mL - Php450 

For oily and combination skin. Great for toning and tightening skin, acne treatment, balancing oily skin, signs of skin aging, skin lightening, dark under eye circles, sun protection, varicose veins, stretch marks, skin cleansing, massage. 

What is the meaning of "expeller-pressed?"
It means the oil is extracted from nuts or seeds solely through mechanical means (by crushing). They do not undergo a chemical process to yield more oil. Thus, they retain most of the natural nutrients from the source without the chemicals. 

Properties of Grapeseed Oil: 

Skin-nourishing
Has skin-regenerative and restructuring properties
Astringent; Good for acne and oily skin
Excellent for massage due to its lightweight and penetrating properties 

Botanical Name: Vitus vinifera
Viscosity: Thin.
Absorption/Feel: Leaves a Glossy Film on the Skin.
Shelf Life: 6-12 Months. 

Grapeseed Oil is commonly used in aromatherapy as it is a fairly all-purpose oil and can be used in a wide array of applications ranging from massage to skin care. From a nutrititive standpoint, the most noteworthy aspect of Grapeseed Oil is its content of the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid.  

Grapeseed Oil, however, has a relatively short shelf life. Easily absorbed, mildly astringent, tightens and tones the skin, which makes it useful for acne.

And as for their Sunflower Oil from their website:

SUNFLOWER OIL, Certified Organic, Cosmetic Grade

100mL - Php140
250mL - Php270
500mL - Php500

For all skin types. Great for head to toe moisturizing, inflamed itchy skin conditions, signs of skin aging, skin lightening, dark under eye circles, skin cleansing, stretch marks, hair and scalp conditioning, acne treatment, massage 

Sunflower oil, exctracted from sunflower seeds, is very nourishing and is also a wonderful moisturizer. Sunflower oil contains natually occuring Vitamin A and E. Vitamin A, also known as retinol, provides many health benefits, as does vitamin E. Both vitamins neutralize free radicals. Sunflower oil is recommended for most skin types, from normal to oily. A non-greasy, protective layer is formed on the skin when Sunflower oil is used, providing a smooth and luxurious texture every time.

I love these oils especially for massages. I applied it once on my face and it didn't caused me breakouts or redness. I also apply this after my bath, then top it off with my favorite lotion which adds that e-x-t-r-a moisture. I love the benefits it does! Will definitely repurchase!

A MUST-HAVE!
