Technical Details & Test Data
- Antioxidant Benefits from a Functional Surfactant
Background
Grapeseed oil is pressed from grapes and is a by-product of winemaking. It is especially high in ω-6 fatty acid, typically containing approximately 70% linoleic acid. It also contains up to 1.5% of unsaponifi able matter, including tocopherols and steroids. These compounds are of interest because they have the potential to provide added skin health benefi ts when the oil is converted to a surfactant. Grape seed extracts have been shown to have a variety of benefi ts, especially protection from oxidative stress. The Cola® Lipid line of multi-functional surfactants includes the grapeseed oil derivative Cola® Lipid GS, which was tested for its ability to function as an antioxidant via the ORAC test.
Method
Cola® Lipid GS was tested against an ORAC 6.0 panel which measures effi cacy against diff erent reactive oxygen species (ROS). Results are reported in μmol TE/g, where TE=Trolox equivalency, where Trolox is used as the test reference standard. Those in the panel that that demonstrated antioxidant activity were:
Analysis Result ORAC against hydroxyl radicals 170.60 ORAC against peroxynitrite 0.24 These results indicate a very high effi cacy against hydroxyl radicals and a smaller, but signifi cant, effi cacy against peroxynitrite, demonstrating that Cola® Lipid GS has a high likelihood of being eff ective as an antioxidant in a variety of skin care applications
- Efficacy Tests
Eye Irritation
MatTek Epi-Ocular: In vitro epidermal keratinocytes: Results indicate ‘non-irritating’ classifi cation.
Acute Skin Irritation
48 Hour Occlusive skin patch test: On human volunteers - 53 Test Subjects: no visible skin reaction, no potential for dermal irritation.
Skin Sensitization
Repeat Insult Patch testing (HRIPT): no potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitization.
