PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Grape skins protect grapes from UV
overexposure, pathogen attacks,
environmental pollution and adverse weather
conditions. The thousands of molecules that
grapes are able to synthesize and accumulate
in its fruit skin are the secret of its defences.
It was shown that grape polyphenols
have an inhibitory activity on membrane
metalloproteases 2 (MMP2) of some skin
cell lines. MMP2, also called collagenases
or gelatinases A, is one of the causes of
degradation of collagen and other skin
proteins, such as the insoluble form of elastin,
causing decreased skin tone and elasticity as
well as wrinkles.
UVIOX® allows for recovering all the active
molecules of organic certified grape skins in a
bioavailable form. The cosmetic formulation
become a shuttle able to deliver this active
chemistry on skin helping it staying healthy
and young.
