Resveratrol, a polyphenol derived from Japanese Knotweed and the skin of red grapes, serves as a highly effective antioxidant with a remarkable 95% efficiency in preventing lipid peroxidation, surpassing Vitamin C (37%) and Vitamin E (65%). Its efficacy against photoaging is attributed to its potent antioxidant properties, making it a recommended ingredient for use in pre- or post-sun exposure products. Resveratrol exhibits the ability to penetrate the stratum corneum, reaching the dermis and epidermis. Studies suggest its role in preserving dermal collagen, potentially enhancing glycosaminoglycans for improved tissue hydration. Additionally, it stimulates skin cellular renewal and contributes to increased skin thickness. Resveratrol also shows promise in inhibiting tyrosinase, making it suitable for reducing hyperpigmentation.
Beyond its skincare benefits, Resveratrol demonstrates anti-fungal and anti-bacterial activities, making it a valuable inclusion in products designed for diabetic wound care. It exhibits sustained bacterial activity against P. acnes, the bacteria responsible for acne. In comparison to benzoyl peroxide, which shows a short-term bacterial response, resveratrol significantly inhibits bacterial growth over time. Furthermore, it inhibits keratinocyte proliferation, a factor in the formation of acne lesions.
Our Resveratrol Pure is meticulously extracted from the root of wild-crafted Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum Cuspidatum) using only ethanol and water. The extract undergoes vacuum drying, micronization, and is standardized to a 99% concentration of trans-Resveratrol in its final form, with an average particle size of 3-4 microns.
