What is VITIS VINIFERA used for?
Vitis Vinifera, whether used in the form of extract or oil, has diverse benefits due to its rich composition of antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamins. Primarily, it is a great anti-aging ingredient as it neutralizes free radicals and reduces oxidative stress. It supports collagen production, helping to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Further, Vitis Vinifera is a lightweight and non-comedogenic moisturizing agent that leaves the skin hydrated, smooth, and supple. It contributes to a natural glow - reducing dark spots and making skin more radiant. In hair care products like shampoos and conditioners, Vitis Vinifera is used to improve scalp health, reduce dryness, and soothe irritation.
Origin
Vitis Vinifera (Grape) is cultivated worldwide in temperate regions such as Europe, North America, and South America. This fruit is exceptionally good for skin and hair due to its rich nutrient profile. It consists of antioxidants (flavonoids and resveratrol), fatty acids (linoleic acid and oleic acid), vitamins (E and C), minerals (potassium and calcium), essential oils, and amino acids. The grapes are first harvested and then processed to make Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract, Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil, or Vitis Vinifera Skin Extract.
