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(hù)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(hù)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(hù)膚霜具有潛在的抗皺功能。然而這有點(diǎn)怪異，因?yàn)檫@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(xiàng)偉大的技術(shù)，因?yàn)樗鼜募t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。
