%0 Journal Article %T Potential Application of a Wine Extract in Skin Care: How to Benefit from the Antibacterial, Antioxidant and Elastase Inhibiting Properties %A Lisa-Marie Sittek %A Thomas Michael Schmidts %A Peggy Schlupp %J Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications %P 136-155 %@ 2161-4512 %D 2023 %I Scientific Research Publishing %R 10.4236/jcdsa.2023.132013 %X Since plant polyphenols have many beneficial properties on health, the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of a phenolic wine extract, a by-product of wine production, for skin care on HaCaT cells. In these studies, a significant reduction of reactive oxygen species formation in HaCaT cells and severe elastase inhibition was observed. In contrast, the wine extract caused a major increase in lipase activity. The extract showed no influence on cell proliferation, but an immunomodulatory effect on the release of the interleukins IL-6 and IL-8 was found. The phenolic wine extract demonstrated a strong activity against gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens, yeasts, and fungi. Overall, our results show that the investigated phenolic wine extract is a promising ingredient for anti-aging skin care, could contribute to the improvement of skin appearance and health, and may positively affect cellulite. %K Phenolic Wine Extract %K Skin Care %K HaCaT Cells %K Elastase %K Lipase %K IL-6 %K IL-8 %K Cell Proliferation %K Reactive Oxygen Species %K Antimicrobial %K Antimycotic %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=125663
