Grape Seed Extract is underrated in the beauty industry. Little did people know that it’s rich in amazing health benefits. | |||
Commonly referred to as GSE, it contains a single yet powerful ingredient: OPCs (oligomeric procyanidins)—a type of polyphenol that is sought for its antioxidant properties. | |||
OPCs are known in the medicinal world as a ‘superstar’ for the several functions it holds for the human body. It does not only have antioxidant properties but it’s also responsible for the treatment of a number of conditions, according to reported findings. | |||
In the past, these seeds were tagged worthless by-product of wine production that usually just go to waste. Come to realize, they are extremely valuable when extracted. It’s composed of a complex mixture of flavonoids, vitamin E, linoleic acid and phenolic procyanidins. | |||
Proanthocyanidins and catechins, found in GSE, are believed to be 20 times greater than vitamin E and 50 times greater than vitamin C. | |||
The skin is not the only target of GSE. It also works in maintaining the body’s wellness by improving flexibility in joints, arteries and body tissues. | |||

With CosmoSkin GSE, you don’t have to worry about pigmentation because grape seed extract is best in addressing skin issues such as melasma.” | |||

Aside from the health benefits above-mentioned, there are still more to what GSE can do. | |||
It contributes to the improvement of skin especially to those already in age whose skin tend to wrinkle. The extract contains light, small molecules that are absorbable. GSE acts as an alpha hydroxy acid that’s why some skincare products have it as an ingredient also due to its exfoliating properties. | |||

The oil from grape seeds gives a rich, moisturizing and gentle touch proven to hyrdrate the skin and deliver vitamins in the membranes of skin cells that help cling on moisture. | |||
It’s an effective skin exfoliant because it kills the top layer of dead cells, revealing the smoother, healthier skin underneath. | |||
:Anti-bacterial and Anti-fungal | |||
Because GSE has the compound called reservatol, it therefore has anti-inflammatory properties responsible for treating dermatitis, infections, cuts, and excessive exposure to the sun’s rays. | |||
Overall, the seed we often throw away from our mouth when eating grapes shouldn’t be underestimated nor ignored now. It can perform magic once it gets extracted into a nutritious juice or supplement. | |||
The GSE is a multi-tasker that caters to both our inner health and physical features. There shouldn’t be surprise when the demand for it gets high in the market. | |||
