SUSTAINABLE ANTIOXIDANT-RICH EXTRACT
• Protection
• Firming
• Brightening
This unique New Zealand ingredient is a powerhouse of antioxidants that help reduce the signs of premature ageing. Extracted from the seeds of sauvignon blanc grapes grown on pollution-free Marlborough vineyards, these grapes have been scientifically shown to contain double the levels of polyphenolic antioxidants compared to grapes grown elsewhere in the world – the result of exposure to New Zealand’s intense sunshine. In our cruelty-free skincare, Vinanza® Grape provides powerful antioxidant protection* and is shown to support skin elasticity.
A leader in sustainable skincare Upcycled and repurposed: Vinanza® Grape is a shining example of innovation meets sustainability. Extracted by a clean, cold-water process that is gentle on the environment, Vinanza® is a byproduct of New Zealand’s wine industry, sourced from grapes that would otherwise go to waste – making it as sustainable as it is skin-enhancing.
*Vinanza antioxidants carry strong clinical results showing their ability to address signs of ageing from two independent organisations: New Zealand Extracts, and the New Zealand Government’s pastoral R&D company AgResearch.
