Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract

Vitis vinifera fruit extract is an antioxidant, astringent, and otherwise generally beneficial extract obtained from the skin and pulp of grapes.

When it comes to grapes and skincare, the primary role is taken by grape seeds – the emollient oil and the powerfully antioxidant seed extract appear in many cosmetic products. The fruit extract is used a bit less, but it is just as beneficial.

Grape skin and pulp contain colorful anthocyanins, antioxidant and astringent flavonoids and tannins, famous resveratrol, and many different organic and phenolic acids.

The dark red colored extract is used in skincare products aimed at sensitive and irritated skin because it is soothing and astringent, meaning that it helps with the healing process. Antioxidant compounds provide protection against oxidative stress and help with UV-induced skin damage.
