Can I use this grape seed oil both in cooking and on my skin, or do I need separate bottles?

"ORIGINAL ALTAY" VIINAMARJAÕLI 100ML
Question about the product "ORIGINAL ALTAY" VIINAMARJAÕLI 100ML €8.79 Go to product

ALTAI SPECIALIST ORIGINAL ALTAY grape seed oil is a food-grade, cold-pressed oil that can be used in the kitchen and externally on skin or hair. Because it is unrefined and made from grape seeds without intensive processing, it keeps a mild taste and light texture suitable for salads, dressings and lighter dishes, while also working well as a cosmetic oil for dry hair or tight-feeling skin.

That said, if you plan to use it regularly for both purposes, consider hygiene: once you have applied oil to your hands or face, avoid dipping fingers back into the bottle you use for food. Some people prefer to decant a small amount into a separate container for beauty use, keeping the original bottle in the kitchen. This way you avoid any risk of contamination and make storage simpler—culinary oils are usually kept in a cool, dark cupboard, while a small cosmetic portion can sit on a bathroom shelf for convenience.

From a practical standpoint, the oil's light feel and neutral scent make it pleasant for both uses. On skin, a few drops are enough for areas that feel tight after washing; on dry hair, the same small amount can be worked through the lengths. In food, it adds richness without heaviness, so it suits vegetable-based meals and dips where you do not want a strong flavour. Just remember that any oil is energy-dense, so use it thoughtfully in your diet, and if applying externally, test a small amount first if you have sensitive skin.
