Resveratrol

Product Description

Resveratrol is a gold-standard polyphenol active celebrated for its profound antioxidant and healthy-aging benefits. Naturally found in sources like grapes and Japanese Knotweed, its primary value lies in its multi-pathway action: it provides powerful protection against environmental free radicals while also supporting the skin's natural repair processes, famously associated with sirtuin ("longevity gene") activation. In addition to its anti-aging capabilities, Resveratrol also helps to brighten the skin by inhibiting tyrosinase and calms the skin with its potent anti-inflammatory properties. For brands developing sophisticated, science-backed anti-aging and night repair products, our high-purity Resveratrol is the premier choice for delivering comprehensive cellular protection and rejuvenation.

Formulation Suggestions

Recommended dosage: 0.5% - 3.0%.
The primary formulation challenges for Resveratrol are its poor water solubility and high sensitivity to light and oxidation. We strongly advise against formulating it in simple aqueous systems. For maximum stability and bioavailability, it should be formulated in anhydrous (water-free) bases using solvents like Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, or silicones. If creating an emulsion, it must be pre-dissolved in the oil phase or a suitable glycol and added during the cool-down phase (below 40°C). The final formula must be protected with other antioxidants (like Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid) and packaged in an airless, opaque container to maintain potency.

Our advice is for reference only. Please follow the recommendations of your formulator for actual production.
