Science
Mechanism of Action
As a surfactant, Sodium Grapeseedate reduces the surface tension of liquids, facilitating the emulsification of oil, grease, and dirt. On the skin, it binds to fatty molecules, including impurities, and subsequently to water, enabling their efficient removal during rinsing. This action ensures thorough cleansing of the skin surface.

Stability
As a sodium salt of fatty acids, similar to traditional soaps, Sodium Grapeseedate maintains stability and functionality within an alkaline pH range, typically between 8 and 10.
Safety
Safety Profile
The CIR Expert Panel has assessed 'Fatty Acids & Fatty Acid Salts', including Sodium Grapeseedate, concluding they are safe in current cosmetic uses and concentrations. However, this safety is contingent upon formulations being non-irritating and non-sensitizing. As an inherently alkaline soap ingredient, careful formulation is crucial to mitigate potential skin irritation, despite the lack of specific CIR data for Sodium Grapeseedate alone.
