SEED founders, Ben & Rebecca

In recent years there have been many studies suggesting the benefits of drinking wine in moderation, but what about how it benefits our skin?  I am not suggesting that you take wine baths, however antioxidant rich grape seeds, usually discarded after the wine-making process, can do loads for your skin.  In fact, a single grape seed is packed with elements that provide incredible health benefits including Vitamin E, a powerful skin care rejuvenator, multiple forms of antioxidants and beneficial essential fatty acids.  Enter Ben and Rebecca Gournay.  A few years ago while embarking on a personal eco-journey that would benefit their family, they began to research the health benefits of using grape seed oil and other natural ingredients in luxury bath and body products which later grew into SEED.

The SEED Collection

Extremely potent and decidedly affordable, SEED products are all natural, paraben and phthalate free, and contain no added synthetic preservatives, phytochemicals, artificial colors or animal ingredients.
