Abstract

A flavonoid enriched extract (FE) was obtained from grape peels, andin vitroSPF, antioxidant activity, and effects on cell viability of this extract were tested with the intent to develop a cosmetic product. A formulation was developed with the FE, and the stability of this mixture was evaluated in terms of pH, density, viscosity, and SPF (90-days). FE showed no cytotoxicity to human keratinocytes and anin vitroSPF of 18.56 (UV-spectrophotometry). Further, FE showed a UVA protection factor of 3.17 +/- 0.2, a critical wavelength of 318.0 +/- 0.1 and a UVA/UVB of 0.9. Antioxidant activity assays resulted in 92.08% and 86.85% of activity against DPPH and ABTS (IC50= 296.90 +/- 1.2 mu g/mL and 643.13 +/- 0.9 mu g/mL), respectively. Finally, SPF of formulation with FE was 12.45. Results from thein vitroSPF and product stability tests (especially storage under refrigeration), indicate that FE is a promising compound for use as an innovative sunscreen formulation. (AU)
