Resveratrol Active Ingredient

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol with powerful antioxidant properties, renowned for its health benefits. Numerous studies have highlighted its protective effects on the cardiovascular system, the proper functioning of the brain and its positive effects on diabetes. It is naturally present in certain fruits such as grapes, pomegranates, cranberries and blackberries, as well as in peanuts, cocoa and wine.

Resveratrol is also known as one of the most powerful antioxidants on the market, which explains its widespread use in cosmetics. Its action on filling in wrinkles and fine lines has been scientifically proven. Resveratrol's multiple properties make it the ideal active ingredient for effectively combating the signs of ageing, while offering excellent skin tolerance.

Polygonum cuspidatum, also known as Japanese Knotweed, is a species of perennial plant 1 to 3 metres tall, originating in Eastern Asia and popularised in Europe in many humid regions. It is known to be one of the plants richest in Resveratrol, and it is generally from this plant that it is extracted for its medicinal and cosmetic applications.

It grows in China, Korea, Japan and Siberia, and is cultivated in Asia for its medicinal properties. In China, its rhizome (or root) was traditionally consumed for its medicinal properties and was used to treat ailments such as bronchitis, intestinal discomfort, high blood pressure and snake bites.

Already introduced in the Middle Ages via the silk route, it made its first appearance in Europe in the early 19th century, thanks to a medical officer of the Dutch East India Company, who introduced it into his gardens as an ornamental plant after his expedition to Nagasaki between 1823 and 1829.
