he red vine, Vitis vinifera var. tinctoria, has very specific properties. It is distinguished from other vine varieties by its leaves, which turn red in the fall. The red vine is not only aesthetically pleasing; its red coloring provides it with powerful active ingredients.
In cosmetics, red vine leaf tones and protects the skin. This is called venotonic action. This vine therefore allows the skin to benefit from numerous advantages for blood circulation.
Red vine is a shrub that grows naturally in Mediterranean regions. It has been used in pharmacopoeia for several centuries. Today, we find it increasingly in cosmetic products for its benefits for the skin. Indeed, it helps fight redness, provides hydration, and increases collagen.
All parts of the red vine can be used for medicinal purposes, but it is the red vine leaf that is mainly used, it can be harvested from May to September, but generally this takes place more in September, in the autumn period to have a very bright color.
Highly prized in pharmacopoeia, red vine leaves owe their virtues to their nutritional composition.
They contain
Venotonic action
In medicine, red vine is primarily used for its revitalizing properties on blood circulation. The nutrients present in its leaves act on the tone and protection of blood vessels and capillaries. In particular, they are capable of reducing the permeability of blood vessels and improving their resistance.
Thus, a red vine treatment can be of interest in combating dehydrated skin, which can present problems such as redness, rosacea or even tightness.
Antioxidant power
Red vine leaves contain polyphenols with antioxidant properties. These nutrients are able to counteract the accumulation of hyper-reactive oxidants responsible for numerous cellular damages. Oxidative stress can cause premature aging of the skin, so red vine leaves have powerful anti-aging properties.
Anti-inflammatory activity
In addition to its antioxidant power, certain components of red vine are capable of reducing inflammatory reactions. This is the case, for example, of quercetin, a polyphenol that has been proven to relieve acute and chronic inflammation.
