Grape's (Vitis Vinifera) skin protects the fruit from UV radiation and other environmental damaging factors. Modern hydrolyzation technologies allow to liquefy the grape skin and reproduce its complex defensive chemistry. Hydrolyzed Grape Skin is a botanical ingredient, that enables the transfer of all the protective molecules from the original natural material, to the skin recreating its protective effect. That is our secret for skin defense.

Hydrolyzed grape skin maintains skin moisturization and tone contrasting the natural skin aging and loss of texture. It has a high antioxidant activity due to the phenolic mix of grape skins completely recovered in the water phase.

This natural ingredient protects the skin from damage caused by constant sun exposure - one of the main causes of photo-aging. This particular kind of aging makes the skin dry, harder, stained, and wrinkled as a result of overexposure to sun or UV radiation. In addition, biophenols contained in Hydrolyzed grape skin help to improve skin microcirculation preventing liquid stagnation.

One author has shown that grape polyphenolic molecules contained in grape skin have an inhibitory activity on membrane metalloproteases 2 (MMP2) of some skin cell lines (Min-Ho Oak et al. 2004). MMP2, also called collagenases or gelatinases A, are one of the causes of the degradation of collagen and other skin proteins such as the insoluble form of elastin, causing a decrease in skin tone and elasticity as well as the formation of wrinkles.
