Article Synopsis
- - Grape marc, a by-product from winemaking, contains beneficial compounds that can be extracted and used to create sun protection creams, specifically using polyphenolic extracts from different grape varieties like Merlot and others.
- - The best extraction method was found to be 70% ethanol in water, with Merlot extracts showing the highest sun protection factor (SPF) of 7.83 ± 0.76.
- - When formulating the sunscreens, the cream made from the aqueous extract of Merlot achieved an SPF of 14.07 ± 1.50, demonstrating better stability compared to creams made from ethanolic extracts.
This study aimed at establishing the optimal conditions for the classic extraction of phenolic compounds from L. fruits. The effects of different parameters, i.
