In recent years, consumers have become more concerned about the ingredients in the cosmetics products they use. They are demanding transparency about the ingredients in the products they use and want to know how these ingredients benefit their skin. This article highlights the essential ingredients in cosmetics that contribute to achieving healthy skin.

 

Hyaluronic acid - moisturizers

Hyaluronic acid is a popular ingredient found in moisturizing creams, lotions, and serums. It is a naturally occurring substance in the body that decreases as we age. Hyaluronic acid has a unique ability to retain moisture and is known as an ideal natural moisturizing factor. As it improves skin nutrient metabolism, it helps reduce wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, and prevent aging. The molecule is large in size, which means that it does not penetrate the skin barrier. Instead, it forms a protective film on the skin, which helps retain moisture, and provides a plumping effect.

 

L-vitamin C - whitening essential

Most whitening products contain lead and mercury, but the skin that has been "bleached" by this chemical for a long time does not actually turn white. Once you stop using it, it will be darker than before. L-vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid is a potent antioxidant that plays an essential role in collagen synthesis. It is a water-soluble vitamin that helps reduce pigmentation by inhibiting melanin synthesis. The topical application of L-vitamin C stimulates the production of collagen, which helps maintain skin firmness and elasticity. L-vitamin C also supports the skin's natural barrier function and protects it from environmental stressors such as UV radiation.

 

Coenzyme Q10 - Antioxidant Essential

Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 is a naturally occurring antioxidant in the body that decreases as we age. The topical application of CoQ10 helps to reduce oxidative stress related to aging and environmental factors such as pollution and UV radiation. CoQ10 stimulates mitochondrial activity and cellular metabolism, which helps generate ATP energy production that supports the skin's natural repair process. CoQ10 also stabilizes cell membranes and protects the skin from UV damage.

 

Alpha hydroxy acid - Essential for Exfoliation

Exfoliation is essential for maintaining healthy skin. The removal of dead skin cells promotes cell turnover, allowing new, healthy cells to emerge. This process helps to improve the texture and appearance of the skin, leaving it feeling smooth and refreshed. Fruit acid is an effective ingredient that can aid in the exfoliation process.

 

Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) is derived from various fruits and can help promote the exfoliation of the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the skin and is composed of dead skin cells, which can make the skin look dull and lifeless. Fruit acid can dissolve the link between good cells and dead cells, allowing the dead cells to be removed effectively. Furthermore, AHA can stimulate the differentiation and regeneration of deep cells, which can help to accelerate the metabolism of the skin. As a result, the skin feels tender and looks radiant.

 

In addition to its exfoliating properties, AHA is also a good anti-free radical. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause damage to cells and accelerate the aging process. By neutralizing free radicals, AHA can help to protect the skin from damage and prevent premature aging. Moreover, fruit acid also has anti-oxidation and cell protection effects, which can further benefit the skin.


Hexapeptide - anti-wrinkle essential

Known for its anti-wrinkle properties, hexapeptide is a botulinum toxin ingredient but without any toxicity. The main ingredient is a biochemical product composed of six amino acids. It can help muscles to relax and restore the skin's elastic tissue, effectively smoothing out lines and wrinkles. Compared to botulinum toxin, hexapeptide is a safer and more natural alternative.
