The appearance of our skin is determined by the care we give it. It constantly renews itself, and to look perfect, it requires a series of nutrients that we can find in plants, vegetables, or fruits. Natural dermocosmetics have managed to develop beauty products based on the active ingredients of these substances, extracting all their properties. Today, I’ll clarify some doubts surrounding it.
Natural dermocosmetics is a growing sector, thanks to the quality of its formulations, its multiple health benefits, and its respect for the environment and responsible consumption. It has many advantages, but there are also still some doubts about it.
Is natural dermocosmetics the same as natural or organic cosmetics?
We might think they are synonyms, but dermocosmetics refers to the field of dermatology that deals with the health and beauty of our skin. It focuses on skin imbalances and offers truly effective solutions. Strictly speaking, natural cosmetics are formulated with raw materials of plant origin. In its composition, you will never find paraffins, silicones, or raw materials of animal origin. Whether a natural product is also dermocosmetic depends on its composition. It must be formulated with suitable active ingredients and in a concentration that is beneficial for the skin. Organic cosmetics must also meet the standards required by certification bodies and pass strict quality controls to ensure environmental preservation during the production process.
What are the advantages of natural dermocosmetics over traditional cosmetics?
More and more people are experiencing skin allergies or developing sensitivities to chemical components or fragrances in traditional creams. Natural dermocosmetics are more skin-friendly due to their plant-based ingredients, and in the long term, they are more effective. They are formulated with active ingredients similar to our molecular composition, making them more easily absorbed.
Are there any disadvantages?
Since they do not contain chemical preservatives, the shelf life of a natural product is shorter. This doesn’t mean it’s short-lived, as plants with antioxidant properties are used to extend the life of the creams for up to six months after opening.
Are all pharmacy products dermocosmetics?
Some focus only on aesthetic issues but do not clinically improve the health or appearance of the skin. We should be very careful when choosing a product to confirm the authenticity of its origin. The manufacturer’s name, information about its composition, and active ingredient content can serve as quality assurances. In fact, the effectiveness of the cream will depend on the dosage of its compounds.
