Frequently Asked Questions:

What are the main dietary sources of polyphenols?

Polyphenols are abundant in many plant-based foods, including fruits (berries, cherries, apples), vegetables (spinach, onions), legumes, tea (especially green tea), coffee, red wine, dark chocolate, and whole grains. Our extract provides a concentrated dose from specific, high-potency sources.

Topically, they primarily function as powerful antioxidants, protecting skin cells from pollution and UV-generated free radicals. They also help calm inflammation, strengthen capillaries to reduce redness, and can inhibit enzymes that break down collagen, thereby supporting skin firmness.

How do polyphenols benefit the skin when applied topically?

Yes, polyphenols are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when consumed in amounts commonly found in foods and supplements. As concentrated extracts, they should be used within recommended dosage guidelines. For topical use, they are well-tolerated, though a patch test is always recommended for new skincare ingredients.

Are polyphenols safe for long-term use?

They are excellent complements, not necessarily replacements. While Vitamin C is a direct antioxidant and a co-factor for collagen synthesis, polyphenols offer a broader spectrum of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits from various molecular structures. Using them together can provide a synergistic, multi-faceted approach to skin protection and rejuvenation.

Can I use a polyphenol complex instead of Vitamin C in my skincare routine?

Different plants contain different subclasses and ratios of polyphenols. Green Tea is rich in catechins (like EGCG), renowned for potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Grape Seed extract is high in proanthocyanidins, known for strengthening capillaries and collagen. The source should be chosen based on the desired primary benefit for the end product.
