Aura Cacia Grapeseed Oil

I discovered grapeseed oil in 2006 or so. I don't remember where I found out about it, but I stopped using commercial anti-acne cleansers and stated cleaning my face with the oil. My face stopped breaking out. I haven't had a major breakout since. Sometimes I try new products and I will get some bumps, so I know it isn't strictly hormonal. Grapeseed oil, either food grade or cosmetic grade (with vitamin e) is a staple. It is lighter than olive oil, it is more like a toner, so I don't look greasy. It is wonderful as an eye makeup remover, no stinging, no itchy eyes, no chemicals. And it is less than $5.00 for 4 oz. I used to buy the food-grade tin, it was, like, almost a gallon for about $10, but that is too much to store, and, unless you cook with it, it can turn rancid before you can use it up (but you can share with others, I gave some to my cousin to help with rosacea). So, I usually buy Aura Cacia's. I actually prefer this to the foodgrade, because the food grade can have a foody smell. The company is cruelty free, and is mostly available at healthy food stores, and online.
