Chemistry
The bioactive composition of grape skin CO₂ extract gives it exceptional anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and protective properties.
Major components include:
- Resveratrol (2–5%) – Powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory; helps reduce wrinkles and UV-induced damage.
- Proanthocyanidins (OPCs) – Reinforce collagen, reduce pigmentation, and improve elasticity.
- Anthocyanins – Pigment molecules that protect skin from oxidative stress and environmental aggressors.
- Tannins – Natural astringents that refine pores and tone the skin.
- Vitamin E and fatty acids – Support hydration and barrier repair.
Together, these compounds neutralize free radicals, protect collagen and elastin fibers, and enhance microcirculation, giving skin a more luminous, youthful appearance.
