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.

《中脑》报道：

我自己更多的时候喝啤酒，但是对于红酒爱好者来说，在美丽大脑 社区上有个好消息：一种新科技可以将酒转化为护肤霜（以及更多）.

红酒科技

科学日报报道与Technologie-Transfer-Zentrum（TTZ）和西班牙天然化妆品公司Alfaverde Productos Naturales有伙伴关系的德国化学分析公司Spectral Service, 已经研制出一种粉末状红酒，可以用于护肤霜及食品和饮料。

诀窍是发明一种温和干燥过程，这个过程不用加热来干燥，以免热量破坏成分（蛋白质和多酚）的活性。他们发现这种粉末制成的护肤霜具有潜在的抗皱功能。然而这有点怪异，因为这种霜开始是紫色的，随着它被皮肤慢慢吸收，紫色会消退。

红色的绿色产品

从"绿色"的角度看，这是一项伟大的技术，因为它从红酒的副产品中提取了一种新的，有用的原材料，从而使这种副产品（根据欧洲法规）不再被倾倒在陆地上。仅仅在德国，大约有12万升葡萄酒的副产品，足以产生12000吨干的红酒粉末。

美丽大脑看法

我们很高兴看到各公司研制的成分既有效又环保。
