What is Resveratrol?

Resveratrol is a powerful anti-aging antioxidant that protects skin and hair from oxidative stress, inflammation, and environmental damage. It stimulates collagen production, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging, while its anti-senolytic and anti-senescence effects help eliminate aging cells, preserving skin firmness and elasticity. Resveratrol also brightens skin, evens tone, and strengthens the skin barrier, preventing photoaging and UV damage. In haircare, it stimulates follicles, prevents thinning, and slows graying. However, resveratrol’s bioavailability is limited. Micellar Cosmetics’ Green Micellar™ formulation enhances absorption, stability, and deep penetration, ensuring maximum anti-aging, rejuvenating, and protective benefits for youthful skin and strong, healthy hair.
