A derivative of the naturally occurring plant-derived metabolite resveratrol (RSV) has potential as a safe, anti-allergy active ingredient in cosmetic products, say researchers.
Resveratrol is a promising candidate for further skin care new product development to aid ageing, scars and wounds, but scientists have stressed there is room for improvement when it comes to research knowledge.
Sabinsa is looking to bringing innovation to its resveratrol manufacturing capabilities after receiving a grant from the Indian government to move ahead with two new pilot trails for both nutrition and cosmetic products.
