trans-resveratrol · resveratrol · 3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene

A polyphenolic antioxidant from grape skins with proven anti-aging and photoprotective properties. Clinical studies demonstrate reduced photoaging and fine lines. Does not cause skin sensitization; the primary formulation challenge is poor stability under UV, pH extremes, and heat.
