Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract is a potent antioxidant widely used in cosmetics for its anti-aging and skin-protecting qualities. It fights free radicals caused by UV radiation and pollution that are responsible for the early aging of the skin. It also protects collagen and elastin in the skin - keeping it firm and youthful. Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract typically appears as a brown to dark brown liquid that has a smooth texture allowing it to be easily incorporated into different formulations. Since this extract is derived from natural sources, it is a popular choice in vegan and eco-friendly cosmetic products. Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract is also known as Grape Seed Extract.

What is VITIS VINIFERA SEED EXTRACT used for?
Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract is used in the beauty industry primarily for its antioxidant and anti-aging properties. It is rich in polyphenols, including proanthocyanidins, that are quite effective in protecting the skin from free radical damage. It is widely used in anti-aging creams and serums to help maintain youthful and glowing skin. Further, this extract has anti-inflammatory compounds that soothe irritated or sensitive skin. Not only this, Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract is good for skin hydration and brightening as well. It forms a protective barrier on the surface of the skin that reduces moisture loss. Lastly, it is known to possess antimicrobial properties that protect the skin from bacteria and other pathogens.
Origin
Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract comes from the seeds of grapes which are carefully collected, cleaned, and dried. These seeds are then ground into a fine powder. The active compounds are extracted from this powder by the solvent extraction method that uses water, ethanol, or a combination of both. Further, the extract is filtered to remove impurities and the solvent is evaporated - leaving behind the concentrated extract. At last, this extract is dried and processed into a liquid or powder form for use in cosmetics.
