Did you know that you can find creams and soaps made from wine by-products?
It may sound strange, but these innovative options are gaining popularity due to their multiple benefits for the skin.
Wine by-product creams and soaps are a great option for those looking for natural and sustainable products. Ingredients such as grape seeds, fruit pulp and other by-products contain antioxidants, vitamins and fatty acids that are highly beneficial for the skin
In July I read an article about cosmetics: the sector that nothing can overshadow.
In 2022 we will export more perfumes, cosmetics and personal care products than wine and olive oil. As a result of this, more and more natural cosmetics brands are betting on the benefits of wine. cada vez más marcas de cosmética natural apuestan por los beneficios del vino.
And I love this subject so much! I am a loyal consumer of natural cosmetics and if it is in solid form, so much the better.
I think we are becoming more and more aware and we are looking for quality and sustainable products.
Natural cosmetics are booming thanks to this consumption.
In addition, wine therapy has become a growing trend, it used to be exclusive to spas and beauty centres, but now you can enjoy its benefits in the comfort of your own home.
These products, derived from the winemaking process, turn what were initially by-products into valuable raw materials for cosmetics..
From moisturisers to exfoliating treatments and soaps, there are a wide variety of beauty products based on wine by-products available on the market.
But what exactly are their properties?
The benefits of grape skins
Grape skins are rich in polyphenols, which make them powerful antioxidants and are used as anti-free radical shields. They also have rejuvenating properties that help protect the skin and combat ageing.
The wonders of Tartaric Acid Salts
Tartaric acid salts, also known as tartrates, are formed in the stabilisation of wines.
These salts are highly valued for their moisturising and exfoliating properties, helping to remove dead skin cells.
Lees and their moisturising properties
The lees and other peat resulting from winemaking are rich in amino acids and possess moisturising and tissue-repairing properties. These natural ingredients promote deep skin hydration.
Resveratrol: the secret of the red grape
You may have read this name on a box of creams.
Resveratrol is present in grape skins and red wine. It is known for its antioxidant properties that protect our skin from free radicals, which are responsible for premature ageing. In addition, this compound helps to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving the skin smooth and radiant.
The magic of wine therapy
We know what a bottle of wine offers us and what it brings us, but what is wine therapy? ¿Qué es la vinoterapia?
No, it is not a wine shower, it goes much further.
Wine therapy or enotherapy dates back to ancient Rome and Greece, grapes and wine have always been used in the beauty routines of kings and nobles.
Natural cosmetics brands, such Caudalie, are the ones that are relying more heavily on R+D to extract and maximise the properties of wine and grapes in their products.
(By the way, Caudelie is an oenological term meaning the time the wine remains in the mouth with its aroma after tasting. 1, 2, 3 and... the taste is gone)!
Small handmade soap factories
There has been a growth of small soap factories, following the traditional method of oil, soda and wine by-products without any additives.
For example, Soaps of Wine in Aranda de Duero grape pips and their oil to make aromatic soaps that evoke well-known grape varieties such as Merlot, Chardonnay, Tempranillo...
These soaps are a delight to the senses. Add them to your daily grooming routine to enjoy an aromatic experience that will help you start the day in the best possible way.
If you are in Aranda de Duero, you can't miss visit "La casona de la vid", a boutique hotel with SPA located in the municipality of La Vid, in the Ribera del Duero region of Burgos.
It offers a unique experience: a Wine Spa that recreates a wine-making circuit in the middle of the winery.
Wonderful, isn't it? Complete your visit with a wine tasting, a delicious meal and the most original souvenirs from the world of wine.
