About this ingredient
Palmitoyl grapevine shoot extract is a grapevine shoot extract linked to palmitic acid for better solubility in the oil phase. Its main active is viniferin, a plant stilbene. INCI: Palmitoyl Grapevine Shoot Extract. In a formula it works as a brightening and antioxidant component: viniferin inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme of melanin synthesis, so the extract is used in products against dark spots and for evening out tone. Viniferin has a fair base for its brightening action, but it is still a supporting active rather than a potent depigmenting agent. Pregnancy safety. Topical use is systemically negligible, with no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low.
