Why cream can be expensive

composition

Ingredients

The formula of any cosmetic product, as a rule, is a water-oil emulsion, which includes plant extracts, vitamins, etc. Much depends on the quality and origin of the raw material, as well as on the way it is processed.

Oil is often extracted from rare exotic plants. Or, for example, from Damascus rose flowers, hand-picked before dawn.

Patented molecules and technologies

Brands that can afford to run their own lab and R&D staff always use proprietary ingredients. And this is not a cheap pleasure.

Add to this the patented anti-aging molecule proxylan, which tightens the skin, as well as plant extracts, and you get a night cream that creates all the conditions for skin cell renewal and is a pleasure to use.

Texture and flavor

By these signs, we immediately distinguish expensive cosmetics from cheap ones. Even the best formula won’t work if the cream doesn’t absorb well, rolls off, and smells bad. In the end, self-care is a pleasure, and if the process itself does not bring joy, then you don’t even want to check the effectiveness of the product.

Often, flower petals or bright microparticles are added to cosmetics (no, these are not necessarily scrubs, this also occurs in creams). And the texture itself can be “pearls” – colored or transparent capsules.

Gel based on rose water, hyaluronic acid, rose centifolia extract with the addition of rose petals – a source of true pleasure, as well as radiance and smoothness of the skin.

Packaging

Expensive cosmetics should also look appropriate. Not a tube or a plastic bottle, but a weighty glass or metal jar with gold or silver plating and a metal lid.

Luxury product packaging may include other distinctive elements:
