RESVERATROL
Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic ingredient found in plants, including grapes, berries, and peanuts. In cosmetics, it is often used for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which protects the skin against environmental stressors and promotes a more youthful-looking complexion. Resveratrol is thought to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness by stimulating collagen production and inhibiting the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers. It may also have potential anti-aging benefits, such as reducing the appearance of fine lines. The chemical formula of Resveratrol is C14H12O3.
