Ingredients for cosmetics
Breko is your expert in resveratrol extracts as active ingredients for cosmetic applications.
Resveratrol has long been established as a valuable active ingredient in modern cosmetics. As a natural plant substance from the polyphenol group, it not only protects grapevines from external influences, but also our skin – from free radicals, environmental stress, and premature aging.
Breko is the only supplier worldwide to offer resveratrol from both grapevines and fermentation – a unique selling point that underscores our position as a reliable partner for high-quality cosmetic raw materials.
Our resveratrol offering sets standards in purity and quality. With products like Lallemand’s trans-resveratrol JUNEO™ and Actichem’s grapevine extracts (Resveratrox™, Vitisin™, Resvinia™, and Viniferol™), we offer premium raw materials that not only meet the highest standards but have also proven their effectiveness in clinical studies.
Our extracts have been proven to be powerful antioxidants with impressive benefits for skin and hair care. We are happy to assist you in selecting the best resveratrol raw material for your products.

Since 2006, Actichem has been producing grapevine extracts for cosmetics using a patented process. Only grapevine shoots and roots from French vineyards are processed and sustainably produced into natural grapevine extracts. The extracts are COSMOS and Ecocert certified for natural cosmetics and are manufactured to high quality standards.
Grapevine shoots, which are obtained annually during grapevine pruning, contain trans-resveratrol and resveratrol oligomers and are used to produce the extracts Resveratrox™, Viniferin™, and Resvinia™. The grapevine roots obtained during the planting of a new vineyard are extracted for the grapevine root extract Vitisin™.
These grapevine extracts are available in liquid or powder form, standardized with various excipients to suit your application.
