Mid Brain reports:
I'm more of a beer person myself, but here's good news for the red wine fans in the Beauty Brains community: a new technology that can turn vino into skin creams (and more.)red-wine-bath
Red wine technology
ScienceDaily reports that the German chemical analysis company Spectral Service in partnership with Technologie-Transfer-Zentrum (TTZ)) and the Spanish natural cosmetics company Alfaverde Productos Naturales, have developed a powdered version of red wine that can be used in skin creams as well as foods and drinks.
The trick was to develop a gentle drying process that did not use heat that could destroy the active ingredients (proteins and polyphenols) They found that skin creams formulated with this powder had potential anti-wrinkle effects. It's a little bit weird though, because the cream starts out with a violet color that fades as the product is absorbed into the skin.
Red Green
From a "green" perspective, this is a great technology because it creates a new, useful raw material from a red wine by-product that can no longer be dumped on land (according to European regulations.) Just in Germany alone, there are about 120,000 hectolitres of wine by-products, enough to produce 12,000 tonnes of dried red wine powder.
The Beauty Brains bottom line
It's great to see companies researching ingredients that are both efficacious and environmentally friendly.
《中腦》報道:
我自己更多的時候喝啤酒,但是對于紅酒愛好者來說,在美麗大腦 社區(qū)上有個好消息:一種新科技可以將酒轉(zhuǎn)化為護膚霜(以及更多).
紅酒科技
科學(xué)日報報道與Technologie-Transfer-Zentrum(TTZ)和西班牙天然化妝品公司Alfaverde Productos Naturales有伙伴關(guān)系的德國化學(xué)分析公司Spectral Service, 已經(jīng)研制出一種粉末狀紅酒,可以用于護膚霜及食品和飲料。
訣竅是發(fā)明一種溫和干燥過程,這個過程不用加熱來干燥,以免熱量破壞成分(蛋白質(zhì)和多酚)的活性。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)這種粉末制成的護膚霜具有潛在的抗皺功能。然而這有點怪異,因為這種霜開始是紫色的,隨著它被皮膚慢慢吸收,紫色會消退。
紅色的綠色產(chǎn)品
從"綠色"的角度看,這是一項偉大的技術(shù),因為它從紅酒的副產(chǎn)品中提取了一種新的,有用的原材料,從而使這種副產(chǎn)品(根據(jù)歐洲法規(guī))不再被傾倒在陸地上。僅僅在德國,大約有12萬升葡萄酒的副產(chǎn)品,足以產(chǎn)生12000噸干的紅酒粉末。
美麗大腦看法
我們很高興看到各公司研制的成分既有效又環(huán)保。
