Unlocking the Skin Benefits of Grape Polyphenols
Nature's Anti-Aging Powerhouse
The Secret is in the Plant Itself
The grapevine is an incredible plant that has the ability to adapt to different environments and stressors, resulting in a long and productive lifespan, with the average grapevine living for several decades. One contributor to this long lifespan is a group of natural compounds found within the plant’s grapes and vines. These compounds, called polyphenols, significantly contribute to the heartiness of both grapes and grapevines.
How Grape Polyphenols Impact the Health of the Plant
Grape polyphenols are powerful antioxidants that play a crucial role in the vitality of both grapes and grapevines. Known for their potent antioxidant properties, polyphenols help protect the plants from oxidative damage, UV radiation, pathogens, extreme weather, and pollutants, thereby enhancing the overall resilience and health of the grapevines. Additionally, grape polyphenol compounds specifically influence the grapes themselves and the structure of the grape skin, affecting the resilience of the fruit and its ability to remain healthy, vibrant, and withstand environmental challenges as well as mechanical stress during growth and harvesting. Moreover, these compounds contribute to the intense color of the fruit on the vine.
Beyond the Vine
The benefits of grape polyphenols extend far beyond the vineyard. Research has shown that grape polyphenols also have a profound impact on the appearance of the skin, in a similar manner to their effect on the vine.
First Line of Protection
As powerful antioxidants, polyphenols provide substantial protection against skin damage and premature aging by fighting and neutralizing free radicals—those unstable molecules that harm skin cells and accelerate aging, leading to wrinkles and fine lines.
Collagen Defense
In addition to fighting free radicals, a key anti-aging benefit of grape polyphenols is that these compounds also stimulate collagen production within the skin and inhibit the degradation of existing collagen. Because collagen is an essential protein for firm and elastic skin, this biochemical process helps enhance skin appearance and tone, resulting in firmer, younger-looking skin.
Anti-aging Hyaluronic Acid and Moisturization
These compounds are also effective at preserving and enhancing the skin’s own levels of hyaluronic acid, a natural plumping agent that keeps the skin plump and hydrated, reducing visible signs of aging and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Added Resilience
Similar to the protection polyphenols provide to the grape skin on the vine, these incredible antioxidants also reinforce the skin’s natural barrier, which in turn helps improve the skin’s ability to withstand environmental stressors.
Brighter, More Even Skin Tone
Polyphenols also work to inhibit the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, which leads to reduced melanin production and, therefore, the presence of dark spots. The result is a brighter complexion and a more even skin tone.
Other Skin Protections
These antioxidants also offer additional skin protection and benefits. Because of their anti-inflammatory properties, polyphenols soothe inflammation and calm red or irritated skin.
Finally, they aid in protecting the skin from UV damage and sunburn. While this defense doesn't eliminate the necessity for sunscreen, these substances provide a natural barrier against harmful rays.
Our Formulas
Because of the many skin benefits that grape polyphenols offer, all our formulations include these compounds. We source these potent compounds from red grape skins, known for their high concentration of polyphenols, which are extracted from locally grown grapevines in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy.
The Perfect Blend for Perfection
In each of our products, we have combined these powerful grape polyphenols with other skin-nurturing ingredients, such as vitamin C, olive oil, hyaluronic acid, and apple stem cells, to create a synergistic effect that maximizes results and addresses specific skin concerns.
