Vitis vinifera (grape) fruit water is recognized as a skin-conditioning ingredient. It is an aqueous solution obtained via distillation from grapes.
Generally speaking, grapes offer a wide range of antioxidants and other beneficial compounds for skin. To get the highest potency of those compounds, it’s best to seek out Vitis vinifera in its seed extract or oil form (those forms have more research backing their benefits for skin).
The 2014 Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel concluded that Vitis vinifera (grape) fruit water is safe for cosmetic use. According to suppliers of this ingredient, it can be used at a 100% concentration directly on skin. Their claims include skin-nourishing, moisturizing, and soothing properties.
In skin care formulations, fruit waters may be used to partially or completely replace the water content.
