We decided to figure out why precious stones are added to cosmetics and what are the benefits of them.
You won’t surprise anyone with gold and silver in a cosmetic product, because now there are even toothpastes with their particles. What do you think about the gemstones in your cream? It turns out that diamonds have become not only the best friends of girls, but also cosmetics manufacturers. Why do they do this and whether there is at least some benefit from precious stones, besides, of course, shine, we asked our expert.
– Dozens of microelements are needed for the beauty and elasticity of the skin. Lack of one of these can lead to decreased skin immunity, dull complexion and the formation of wrinkles.
Gems contain a large number of different microelements necessary for the skin. Their healing properties have been known since ancient times. Even then, people knew that these expensive stones have superpowers and can preserve youthful skin. For the first time they began to be added to cosmetics in India, then this trend spread to all countries.
For the manufacture of cosmetics, minerals ground into dust or extracts of jewelry are used, which are extracted by grinding stones to the state of molecules. After that, an extract of the necessary microelements is made from them.
