RED GRAPEVINE
The leaves of Red Grapevine contain the following active ingredients: polyphenol derivatives such as proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, glucosides, tannins, organic acids, resveratrol, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins (A, C, B1, B2, PP) and minerals (calcium, potassium, iron, copper, manganese). Polyphenols have the anti-inflammatory and protecting properties of capillaries. Anthocyanin tannins, in which this plant is rich, are from the same type as vitamin P. They have an antioxidant and protecting effect on capillary vessels. They reduce permeability and increase durability of vascular endothelial, preventing the activity of enzymes -such as elastase- which damage the supporting perivascular tissues. Resveratrol and procyanidins both have a powerful antiradical capacity. They fight against ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) which threatens tissue tone and elasticity. Extracts of Red Grapevine provide a high antioxidant-antiradical effect thus protecting skin from damage such as excessive exposure to the sun.
CORNFLOWER WATER
It is a plant with astringent, anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties containing active ingredients including flavonoids, anthocyanins and pectins. The astringent and anti-inflammatory action is mainly due to the presence of polyphenols. Cornflower Water is particularly suitable to soothe irritations of eyelids and eye contour and to relieve tired eyes, puffiness and dark circles.
EUPHRASIA WATER
It has the ability to soothe eye irritations and has anti-inflammatory, astringent and anti-redness activity.
