Functions
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Skin Protecting
Helps rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier — the invisible shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Essential after over-exfoliating or harsh weather.
Uv Absorber
Blocks or absorbs UV rays to protect your skin from sun damage, dark spots, and premature aging.
Nourishes & Protects
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Grape skins have been traditionally used in European folk medicine and skincare for their high polyphenol content and astringent properties. The hydrolyzed form was created in the 20th century to break down the skin material into smaller, more bioavailable peptides for anti-aging formulations.
