Proanthocyanidins are a general term for a large class of polyphenolic compounds that are widely found in plants. Their common feature is that they can produce anthocyanidins when heated in an acidic medium, so they are called proanthocyanidins. Proanthocyanidins are a pigment component in plants and are widely found in various plants.

Proanthocyanidins are a general term for a large class of polyphenolic compounds that are widely found in plants. They have strong antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects, can effectively eliminate superoxide anion free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals, and are also involved in the metabolism of phosphate and arachidonic acid and protein phosphorylation, protecting lipids from peroxidation damage; they are powerful metal chelators that can chelate metal ions to form inert compounds in the body; they protect and stabilize vitamin C, and help absorb and utilize vitamin C. Proanthocyanidins are widely distributed and exist in the skins, shells, seeds, cores, flowers, and leaves of many plants. Grape seeds have the highest content of proanthocyanidins and are rich in variety.
Europeans call proanthocyanidins youth nutrients, skin vitamins, and oral cosmetics. Because it can restore collagen vitality and make the skin smooth and elastic. Collagen is the basic component of the skin and is a gelatinous substance that makes our body a whole. Vitamin C is a necessary nutrient for the biochemical synthesis of collagen. Proanthocyanidins make more vitamin C effective, which means that vitamin C can more easily complete all its functions (including collagen production). Proanthocyanidins are attached to collagen and can prevent the harm of enzymes that destroy collagen. Proanthocyanidins not only help collagen fibers form cross-linked structures, but also help restore damage caused by excessive cross-linking caused by injuries and free radicals. Excessive cross-linking can suffocate and harden connective tissue, causing wrinkles and premature aging of the skin. Proanthocyanidins also protect the body from sun damage and promote the healing of psoriasis and age spots. Proanthocyanidins are also additives for topically applied skin creams.
In terms of skin, proanthocyanidins have unique chemical and physiological activities and play multiple roles in skin care products, such as anti-aging, anti-ultraviolet, anti-radiation, whitening, moisturizing, etc., and have unique effects on skin aging caused by various factors.
Anti-wrinkle effect
The formation of wrinkles is a complex phenomenon. From a physiological point of view, it mainly involves two types of reactions: cross-linking and degradation of skin proteins and connective tissues. The anti-wrinkle effect of proanthocyanidins is based on its ability to maintain collagen synthesis; inhibit elastase; assist the body in protecting collagen and improving skin elasticity; and improve the healthy circulation of the skin. Thereby avoiding or reducing the formation of wrinkles.
Sunscreen and whitening effect
Most of the reported sunscreen and whitening cosmetics are oily products, which are locally irritating to the skin and even carcinogenic. Therefore, it is of great significance to screen water-soluble sunscreen and whitening agents with ultraviolet absorption from natural products. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins are pure natural, water-soluble, and have strong ultraviolet absorption at 280nm. It can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase; it can reduce the o-quinone structure of melanin to a phenolic structure, causing the pigment to fade; it can inhibit the Maillard reaction caused by protein amino groups and nucleic acid amino groups, thereby inhibiting the formation of lipofuscin and age spots. It can have a synergistic effect with vitamin Vc or VE. These characteristics of oligomeric proanthocyanidins make it an important player in foreign sunscreen and whitening cosmetics.
Astringent and moisturizing effects
The astringent effect of proanthocyanidins makes cosmetics containing proanthocyanidins have good adhesion to the skin under waterproof conditions, and can shrink large pores. Sweat glands swell, making loose skin astringent, tightened, and reducing wrinkles, so that the skin shows a delicate appearance. The moisturizing effect of proanthocyanidins is based on the fact that proanthocyanidins have a polyhydroxy structure and are easy to absorb moisture in the air; proanthocyanidins can be compounded with polysaccharides (hyaluronic acid), proteins, lipids (phospholipids), polypeptides, etc.
Anti-radiation
The free radical theory is the theoretical basis of radiation damage. After the body is exposed to radiation, endogenous free radicals are generated, which cause damage such as lipid peroxidation. The polyhydroxy structure of proanthocyanidins in grape seed extract makes it have a strong effect of scavenging free radicals and inhibiting oxidative damage.
