Grapeseed oil is a byproduct of winemaking. Seeds are filtered from the grapes early in the process and crushed. The resulting pale-colored oil comes from the heart of the grape seeds and is used in food for salad dressings and cooking, as well as skin and hair care.

Grapeseed oil is known for being extremely lightweight, almost weightless. It absorbs into skin and hair quickly and easily, which makes it unlikely to clog hair follicles or cause buildup at the scalp. It is liquid at room temperature (unlike coconut oil, which solidifies below 78 degrees F) and can be easily mixed with other oils and ingredients, so it's ideal for beauty treatments.

It also contains vitamin E, omega-6 fatty acids, linoleic acid, and potent antioxidants which can help soften and moisturize hair, and even promote growth.1 Its high amounts of phenolic compounds, which are antioxidants, help to protect the hair from UV damage as well.

Grapeseed is cheaper than some of the other higher-quality vegetable oils, and thus more affordable to work into a regular routine. It blends nicely with rosehip, jojoba, and sweet almond oils, as well as essential oils for added scent. It works well as a sealant to trap in moisture; to make the most of this characteristic, ensure your hair is well-moisturized and slightly damp before applying the grapeseed oil.

You can use grapeseed oil on its own to add shine and defrizz hair, combine it with other ingredients to work as a deep conditioner or hair mask, or add it to your conditioner for a moisturizing boost. Here are five different applications to get you started using grapeseed oil for hair.

In this video, we’re going to talk about a very important relationship between magnesium and vitamin D.

You need magnesium to fully absorb vitamin D. Magnesium assists in the activation of vitamin D in the liver and kidneys.

This means that if you’re magnesium deficient, you can easily become vitamin D deficient, which can lead to skeletal problems, cardiovascular problems, mood issues, inflammation, and metabolic syndrome.

Just as magnesium is vital for vitamin D activation, vitamin D is essential for stimulating the absorption of magnesium. These two nutrients work synergistically to support a healthy body.

This doesn’t mean that you have to take magnesium and vitamin D at the same time. Your body can store magnesium and vitamin D for when you need them. It’s essential to keep your overall magnesium and vitamin D levels normal.
