Food Ingredients: New Perspectives in Cosmetics
 

Some experts believed that the fashion for natural and organic cosmetics was temporary. Indeed, in the 70s and 80s, synthetic products significantly supplanted the classical versions based on medicinal plants. But then the pendulum swung in the opposite direction, and this happened because manufacturers, in an effort to reduce production costs, began to replace individual components with cheaper and lower quality ones. Today, synthetic, natural or organic cosmetics peacefully coexist and are included in the collections of many successful brands, and you can verify this by visiting the website of the MAKEUP online store. 

However, the general enthusiasm for clean nutrition and a healthy lifestyle dictates its requirements not only for the food industry, but also forms a certain model of behavior in the selection of beauty products. 

Modern science has learned to synthesize safe synthetic ingredients that provide comprehensive skin and hair care, as well as are effective in solving various narrow problems. On the other hand, consumers are increasingly demanding natural options. Having looked at the cosmetics collection of the MEIKAP online store, you will be convinced that many brands offer products with both classic and innovative formulas.
