Conscious skin care should be primarily tailored to individual needs. It is therefore worth choosing products not by chance and knowing what ingredients and labels we should pay attention to. We therefore suggest how to better understand the needs of your skin and take care of its condition and appearance.

When creating our cosmetics, we pay special attention to the function of a given ingredient. In addition, we are guided by the belief that only a conscious consumer will be able to best assess the needs of their skin and choose the most appropriate ingredients for it. That is why we are happy to share our knowledge and experience. In this way, we hope to make it easier for our customers to choose the right cosmetics. Below, we explain what the terms on our website mean and what to look for when choosing the best cosmetic from our offer.

Humectants are substances that have the ability to bind water. In this way, they provide our skin with adequate hydration and regulate the level of hydration of the epidermis by retaining water in the stratum corneum. As a result, the skin stops being dry and becomes soft and elastic. Without humectants, a lack of water would cause a feeling of roughness and expose the skin to irritation.
Therefore, although cosmetics rich in humectants should be particularly used by people struggling with: allergies, psoriasis or undergoing dermatological treatments, it is worth including them in the care of all skin types. Humectants include, for example, hyaluronic acid, grape fruit extract, aloe, glycerin.

Humectants cannot function properly without emollients. While the former bind water and prevent its escape, emollients create an occlusive layer on the skin, a protective film that prevents water from evaporating along with humectants. That is why manufacturers combine humectants with emollients in cosmetic compositions.

Since emollients are lipophilic substances, they have the ability to dissolve in fats that do not dissolve in water. Thus, when left on the skin, they smooth it, soften it and improve its elasticity. In addition, the main tasks of emollients include maintaining the proper functions of the epidermal barrier. In addition to creating an occlusive layer, emollients also lubricate the skin, prevent it from drying out and reduce the feeling of itching and burning. It is no wonder that they are perfect for the care of dry, sensitive and normal skin.
Emollients include: shea butter, cacao oil, sesame oil and raspberry seed oil.

Antioxidants are particularly valued in cosmetics due to their anti-aging effects. These are compounds otherwise known as antioxidants, because they have the ability to neutralize free radicals (when there are too many of them, the skin is unable to regenerate quickly, which promotes the formation of wrinkles) and protect the body from the harmful effects of oxidative stress (e.g. UV radiation, smoking, environmental pollution, improper diet). Antioxidants in cosmetics have anti-inflammatory effects, protect the skin from harmful solar radiation and contribute to the reduction of discolorations and stimulate the production of collagen responsible for skin firmness. As a result, they improve the appearance and condition of the skin, leaving it young for longer. It is no wonder that they are one of the most important components of cosmetics with anti-aging and lifting effects.
