Whether you're a bona fide beauty veteran or just starting out, antioxidant skincare should be high on your list of non-negotiables. With a laundry list of benefits, antioxidants for skin are found in many natural skincare ingredients. The most effective way to supercharge your skin routine? Fill it with Vinanza® antioxidants. These powerful little beauties are the cornerstone of Antipodes' scientifically validated formulations because of their ability to address signs of aging. But what are they – and how do they promote healthy looking skin?

Antioxidants for skin are a defence mechanism that help address the signs of aging. Antioxidant benefits for skin are numerous. They help to reduce the effects of oxidative stress. They can prevent further harm by helping to neutralise the free radicals that can damage your skin's surface. They can also help to reduce inflammation and photodamage. Red, pigmented, uneven skin? All conditions that are potentially helped by antioxidant skincare.

To understand the power of antioxidants for skin, let’s dive deep. We're going to look at one of the most important antioxidant-rich discoveries used by Antipodes®.

Why Vinanza® is your antioxidant-rich best friend

Vinanza® Grape is a revolutionary antioxidant extract sourced from Marlborough sauvignon blanc grape seeds. Grapes are one of the best natural sources of antioxidants, containing biochemicals that fight free radicals in the body. These grapes, however, are grown in New Zealand's South Island, which makes them special. The area benefits from lashings of sunshine, high UV rates, cool nights, fertile soil, and low rainfall: creating the perfect conditions for antioxidant-rich grapes. In response to the climate, the grapes have developed unusually high levels of polyphenolic antioxidants - among the highest of any grape grown anywhere in the world.

The grape seeds are extracted via an environmentally friendly process with minimal waste. The process uses water, rather than harsh chemicals or solvents, which means the bioactivity of the grapes stays intact. The final product is freeze-dried before making its way into Antipodes' antioxidant serums and antioxidant skincare.
