Resveratrol

GIANT KNOTWEED EXTRACT RESVERATROL

Resveratrol is a compound found in grapes, Polygonum cuspidatum and many other plants.

It is currently investigated in many skincare applications. Resveratrol protects cells from

oxidative stress – it is an antioxidant itself, and activates the synthesis of other such compounds.

It also regulates inflammatory responses and even aids the distribution of cosmetical sunscreens,

thus helping to prevent UV damage to the skin. Similarities in structure allow resveratrol to

replace estrogen in post-menopausal women, helping to reduce collagen loss and reduce skin

ageing symptoms. Additionally, it counters photoageing by inhibiting melanin synthesis, resulting

in lighter skin and less pigmented spots. Even acne can be alleviated by applying resveratrol,

as it has antibacterial properties and controls sebaceous cell growth. Finally, it is a promising

agent in melanoma prevention, able to delay the emergence and reduce the size of skin tumors.
