California Chardonnay Corporation operates several wineries that press their own grapes. During this process, there is a split off point that produces an abundant amount of grape seed oil. The company may then sell the grape seed oil to various cooking oil manufacturers, or it may engage in several straining operations to further refine the grape seed oil into a more pure form that it can then sell to cosmetics manufacturers as the primary ingredient in skin moisturizers; alternatively, the company can then add a stabilizer to the purified oil and sell it to a shaving cream manufacturer as a face shaving lubricant.
California Chardonnay has two split off points – one where the grape seed oil is separated, and another where the purified oil is split off for sale as a skin moisturizer ingredient.
