INAWAVE® Grapevine is a sustainable, high-performance cosmetic active derived from the upcycling of vine by-products. Sourced from agricultural cooperatives in the Champagne region of France, these materials are collected to prevent the traditional practice of burning vineyard waste, which is both costly and environmentally damaging due to CO2 emission. This ingredient is produced using a groundbreaking microwave-assisted extraction process that targets potent molecules of interest, including Trans-Resveratrol, Trans-E-Viniferin, and Vitisine. These molecules provide a comprehensive biological shield, offering antioxidant, anti-aging, and skin-radiance benefits. Additionally, it has antimicrobial performance, successfully eliminating S. aureus and P. aeruginosa at 2% after 7 days and acts as a preservative booster.
