Antioxidant polyphenol

Resveratrol (Ferment)

INCI name Pichia/Resveratrol Ferment Extract
Function Antioxidant polyphenol
Pregnancy Suitable
UV sensitivity Not photosensitising

Resveratrol is the polyphenol grapes and berries produce under stress — the molecule behind red wine’s antioxidant reputation. Here it arrives fermented with Pichia yeast, which improves its stability and skin compatibility.

How it works

Research associates topical resveratrol with strong antioxidant activity — neutralising the UV- and pollution-generated free radicals that drive visible skin ageing — along with soothing and tone-supporting effects. The fermented form is associated with better delivery than raw resveratrol, which is notoriously unstable.

Where it fits

Antioxidant moisturisers and night creams, complementing daytime vitamin C rather than replacing it.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

No established concerns at topical cosmetic levels; conventionally considered suitable.
