Grape Vine Resveratrol

Grape vines can live for 100 years. They can withstand the harshness of the cold, wind and rain, thanks to the naturally produced resveratrol that protects the vines and helps them to regenerate. Now, imagine that miracle on your skin. Discovered through the tales of the family vineyard, Caudalie was the first to patent this natural anti-oxidant ingredient with firming and anti-ageing properties. As an anti-oxidant, resveratrol can inhibit enzymes cutting our skin’s collagen as a result of oxidation. It can also stimulate and enhance our natural production of elastin fibres, hyaluronic acid and collagen to firm and smooth wrinkles.

Resveratrol is also the secret behind the French Paradox, where the intake of resveratrol from red wine lowers the risk of coronary heart disease among those with a high intake of cholesterol and saturated fat in their diet. This amazing natural ingredient can be applied on the skin and ingested to help achieve longevity inside and out.
