Athens students win innovation award with plan to make lipstick out of grapes

A lipstick made out of grape pulp envisioned by a group of students from the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA) was the winning entry in the first VitiVini LAB innovation competition, it was announced on Friday, ANA reports.

The AUA students (Aggeliki Mitropoulou, Athanasios Bizos, Pinelopi Liontiou, Marigo Adamopoulou and Dimitra Arvanitaki) prepared their proposal under the guidance of Professor Petros Tarantilis. Grape pulp, the natural colouring out of which they suggested to make lipstick, is a winemaking side product – specifically, what remains after stomping the grapes and extracting the must.
