Minerals in cosmetics

The benefits of minerals for the skin are not new. But not all brands can afford to produce cosmetics with a rich mineral composition. So take a closer look at the “Tools Overview” section of this article.

The benefits of minerals in cosmetics

Cosmetics, rich in micro- and macroelements, have a versatile effect. The richer the mineral composition, the longer the list of useful functions of the product.

Here are just some of the properties of minerals:

  • soothe skin;

  • restore pH balance;

  • improve oxygen exchange;

  • take off inflammation;

  • reinforce skin barrier.

“Our body is constantly losing mineral salts, so mineral makeup is very useful: with its help, the skin replenishes the supply of necessary substances,” says Vichy medical expert Elena Eliseeva.

Minerals are often found in masks and foundations, but a cream or serum based on these substances is not the most common product. The fact is that natural minerals are rocks with low bioavailability. It is technically difficult to introduce this material into the formula, for example, of a cream.

It is not easy to introduce rock into the composition of the cream

Crystals of some individual minerals are artificially grown or replaced with another ingredient with similar properties.

In fact, the only available source of minerals in creams is thermal water, natural solution of useful salts.

“The mineral composition of thermal water is so rich that a completely effective cream can be created without using other substances of natural origin,” Elena Eliseeva is sure.
