Description
Infinity ingredients is the UK distributor of Vegan DDS Resveratrol from INdermal.
Resveratrol is a polyphenol which is produced primarily in the skin of the black grapes. When applied to the skin it has a strong antioxidant effect, neutralising cellular deterioration caused by free radicals generated by pollution and UV light which together accelerate skin aging.
It also boosts the production of collagen, has anti-inflammatory and calming properties and a considerable illuminating effect. Only a few years ago it was discovered that Resveratrol activates the sirtuins which are the protective enzymes against cellular ageing, making this ingredient indispensable in terms of modern anti-ageing treatments.
Notwithstanding, it is a photosensitive molecule which can quickly switch to its isomeric cis-resveratrol form, reverting to a biologically inactive state. Furthermore, it is easily degradable by oxidation or by the presence of other compounds. For these reasons, the encapsulation of this active ingredient in the INdermal DDS system is extremely useful in that it prevents the degradation of the molecule while it is being transported and delivered to the deep layers of the skin.
