The Power of Life in a Single Seed - Olavie

Grape is an excellent protection against premature aging

The grape contains a luxury anti-aging ingredient: polyphenols – potent antioxidants that nest in their seeds. Its function? Eliminate free radicals generated by sunlight, pollution and smoke before they affect the youth of our skin. According to studies, these factors are responsible for 4 out of 5 wrinkles.

The grape reaffirms the skin 

Another advantage of the grape: it contains resveratrol, a natural substance that has the property of stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers, two essential substances for the maintenance of the dermis. With this, the skin becomes firmer and and more plump, and the wrinkles appear less prominent.

The grape awakens the glow of the complexion

Besides being sweet tasting, grape contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12 and C, as well as minerals and trace elements, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and iron. This powerful cocktail nourishes our skin and boosts its glow.

Softens the skin

Grape seed is in fact a very important ingredient. Its extract, rich in vitamin E, can be used on the skin to remove the top layer of dead cells and leave it softer. The antioxidants in them such as proanthocyanidins and resveratrol can also help clear up pigment spots and offer protection against the sun. The oil derived from grape seed contains a high content of oleic and linoleic essential fatty acids.

Linoleic is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is essential for human metabolism. They are called essential because they are vital for the proper functioning of the body including the skin. However, the body is not able to synthesize them by itself, so it is necessary to get them from the outside through food or, in the case of the skin, through a topical application.

Another aspect that highlights the grape seed oil in the world of cosmetics is that it is especially suitable for the treatment of damaged skin. Its regenerative qualities reinforce the barrier function of the epidermis, making the skin better able to retain water. By losing less water through the stratum corneum (outer layer of the skin), it allows the skin to stay better hydrated. In addition, the oil’s fatty acids are essential for the proper maintenance of intercellular cement.

In summary, the skincare benefits of grape seed oil present in all Olavie products are many: emollient-rich, protective and anti-aging. The grape seed’s contribution to the skin of essential fatty acids that the body by itself is not capable of producing and its antioxidant power make it ideal for any type of skin. Finally, the pleasantness of its texture and aroma give us a sense of wellbeing every time we use it. And yes, we use food-grade grape seed oil so you know what you put on your skin is as wholesome as what you eat.
