What Is Vitis Vinifera Juice Extract?
Vitis Vinifera Juice Extract is derived from grape juice and skin, containing naturally occurring polyphenols—plant compounds with antioxidant properties. These polyphenols, including resveratrol and flavonoids, are responsible for much of the extract's activity in skincare formulations.
In cosmetic products, this ingredient functions as an antioxidant and skin conditioner. It works by neutralising free radicals that can damage skin cells and contribute to visible signs of ageing, whilst also helping to maintain skin hydration and support overall skin health.
Benefits for Your Skin
How It Works
Vitis Vinifera Juice Extract contains polyphenols that work as antioxidants. When applied to the skin, these compounds can donate electrons to free radicals—unstable molecules created by sun exposure, pollution, and normal cellular processes—effectively stabilising them and preventing further damage to skin cells.
Beyond antioxidant activity, the extract also supports the skin barrier's hydration and may help modulate inflammatory pathways, contributing to a calmer, more resilient complexion over time.
Clinical Evidence & References
Research suggests that grape polyphenols have antiglycative and antioxidant effects in controlled studies. Some research indicates potential benefits for reducing inflammation and supporting skin health, though most evidence comes from in vitro and animal studies rather than extensive human clinical trials.
While the antioxidant activity of grape extracts is well-documented, the degree to which these benefits translate to meaningful improvements in human skin when applied topically remains an area where evidence is still developing. It appears most beneficial as part of a broader antioxidant skincare routine rather than as a standalone solution.

How to Use
Vitis Vinifera Juice Extract is typically found in serums, moisturisers, and treatment products at concentrations that complement other actives. It integrates well into most skincare routines and can be used alongside other ingredients. For best results, apply to clean skin and layer with other products as needed. Like most antioxidants, it works most effectively when paired with sun protection during the day.
