Grape Seed Extract description

Grape seed extract, known taxonomically as _Vitis vinifera_ extract, comes from the seeds of the fruit of the common grape vine, which is cultivated worldwide. While grapes have had culinary uses for thousands of years, they’re also invaluable when it comes to the worlds of health, medicine, and skin care. Grape seed extract is loaded with skin-beneficial compounds. It’s a rich source of antioxidants, among them resveratrol, which fights environmental damage, supports collagen content, and inhibits some causes of discolorations. As if that weren’t enough, grape seed extract also promotes hydration for an improved skin barrier and has anti-inflammatory properties. There’s even research suggesting it helps reduce signs of UVA-induced skin damage and stabilizes UV filters to provide better SPF in sunscreen formulas. The independent Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel has ruled that grape seed extract is safe as used in cosmetics, where use levels range from 0.1–1% were shown to be non-irritating.
