Grape Skin Polyphenols

Grape skin polyphenols explained

Grape skin polyphenols is a liquid that dissolves in water. Grape skins contain polyphenols, a large family of plant compounds known for antioxidant activity. In skin care, antioxidant ingredients help protect formulas and skin from the look of environmental stress, such as dullness. The supplier CoA confirms the INCI and level for each lot.

The wine-country story

Grapes and wine have a strong, elegant image. Vinotherapy spas, grape-based skin care lines and gift sets built around vineyards are popular, and many shoppers enjoy the idea of turning the grape into a beauty ritual. Grape skin polyphenols bring that story into the water phase.

Product formats

Serums

An antioxidant serum for morning use is the clearest product. Combine the polyphenols with vitamin E and a light base.

Creams

Day creams with grape polyphenols support a radiant-looking, protected skin story.

Toners

Light toners with grape polyphenols suit a vinotherapy-style routine.

Masks and body care

Grape masks and body lotions complete a spa line.

Processing

Add the liquid below 40 °C and stir until uniform. Check the color and pH. Polyphenols can darken in contact with some metals, so use a chelating agent and avoid iron-containing tools.

Partners

Grape Seed Polyphenols builds a two-part grape story. Tocopherol and IO Brightening Antioxidant Active Liquid add antioxidant partners. Explore more in the actives catalog.

Color

Grape skin extracts can give a pink, purple or brown tint. Test the color in your base, and choose packaging that hides small shade changes.

Testing

Run stability tests in light and dark, since some polyphenols change color with light. Check odor and pH over time.

Claims

Vinotherapy ranges

A vinotherapy line might include a grape toner, a serum, a cream and a body scrub with grape seeds. Deep red packaging and vineyard imagery make the theme clear.

Antioxidants in formulas

Antioxidant ingredients have two roles. In the formula, they help protect oils and other sensitive ingredients from oxidation. On the skin, they help defend against the look of dullness caused by environmental stress such as pollution and sunlight. Combining a water-soluble antioxidant such as grape skin polyphenols with an oil-soluble one such as tocopherol covers both phases of a cream. Explaining this simply on the product page helps shoppers understand why the product contains several antioxidants. Keep claims about appearance and protection of the formula itself.

Morning use

Antioxidant serums are usually suggested for the morning, under.

Record the lot number in your batch log so every production run can be traced back to its certificate of analysis. Retain a small sample of each lot for at least the shelf life of the finished product, since it makes later quality questions much easier to answer.

Storage

Store closed in a cool place away from light. Close the bottle after use.
