Resveratrol belongs to the polyphenols, the natural defenses of plants. They are released in response to stress, such as when the plant defends itself against pests or receives excessive UV radiation. Polyphenols act as antioxidants and inhibit inflammation.

They are particularly effective against free radicals. Examples of polyphenols include coffee or vanillic acid, also found in white ginseng. Resveratrol is abundant in grapes and raspberries, making them not only delicious but also beneficial for health.

In laboratory studies, numerous health-promoting properties have been uncovered. It has been demonstrated that Resveratrol activates a group of genes known as

longevity genes

. Additionally, it has been shown to possess anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties, at least in cell cultures in the test tube, in so-called "in vitro studies."

Furthermore, scientific studies substantiate the potent antioxidant effect of Resveratrol. Free radicals are reliably neutralized. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, Resveratrol even appears to combat skin redness. It's no wonder that Resveratrol is touted as the secret weapon against aging.

In this article, you'll discover more about our perspective on anti-aging.

Many substances showcase impressive properties in the test tube, but do they work on the skin? The answer for Resveratrol is a resounding yes!

Resveratrol possesses robust antioxidant properties, combating free radicals in the skin. In doing so, it shields the skin from the damage these radicals inflict on skin cells and the skin barrier. It also protects the skin from damage caused by UV radiation. But that's not all. Resveratrol stimulates the collagen synthesis of the skin. As collagen provides structure to the skin, it promotes a healthy, even skin tone. Protection and improved structure – what more could one ask for?

In a skincare cream for healthy, beautiful skin, such a beneficial ingredient cannot be overlooked. Hence, Resveratrol is a integral component of our Hautcreme+ and Bodylotion+. Even our Hautgel+ contains 1% Resveratrol along with additional antioxidants like Vitamin C and green tea extract. In the INCI list, you'll find it listed as Pichia /

Resveratrol Ferment Extract

. This eco-friendly approach utilizes fermentation in the manufacturing process, a perfect complement to the balanced ingredients in our anti-aging complex.

While Resveratrol naturally protects plants from environmental stress, it also delivers outstanding performance on our skin. It acts as an antioxidant against free radicals, has anti-inflammatory properties, and safeguards against the damage caused by UV rays. Beyond its protective effects, it contributes to enhanced collagen synthesis, supporting firmer, more even skin. So why isn't it a staple in every anti-aging cream? That's a question we also ponder. In our ingredient mix, it's an indispensable element.
