resveratrol

Resveratrol, the powerful, wine-derived antioxidant is a must-have ingredient to your anti-aging skin care regimen. Resveratrol  has been dominating the field of anti-aging research for years and the evidence for topical use for skin care is mounting.  Coming from the skin of wine grapes, resveratrol lives up to (and surpasses) the anti-aging benefits found in actual wine itself.  It’s anti-inflammatory properties help to reduce premature aging in the skin that can be caused by inflammation.

Strange things happen on the super-small scale. Nanoparticles, for example—so tiny that they become invisible to the naked eye –take on entirely unexpected characteristics. In sunscreens that can be a useful thing, since two of the most effective ingredients, zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, leave a white film visible on the skin in normal formulations. In nanoparticle form however they are still effective at reflecting UV light even though they can’t be seen.  But are they safe?
