Cosmetics
Astringente. Questo ingrediente esercita un effetto diretto sulla pelle restringendo i pori dilatati contraendo le cellule dello strato corneo e rimuovendo l'olio superfluo.
Fragranza. Ha un ruolo decisivo e importante nella formulazione di prodotti cosmetici in quanto fornisce la possibilità di migliorare, mascherare o aggiungere profumo al prodotto finale aumentandone la commerciabilità. E' in grado di creare un odore gradevole percepibile, mascherare un cattivo odore. Il consumatore si aspetta sempre di trovare un profumo gradevole o particolare in un prodotto cosmetico.
Agente condizionante della pelle. Rappresenta il perno del trattamento topico della pelle in quanto ha la funzione di ripristinare, aumentare o migliorare la tolleranza cutanea a fattori esterni, compresa la tolleranza dei melanociti. La funzione più importante dell'agente condizionante è prevenire la disidratazione della pelle, ma il tema è piuttosto complesso e coinvolge emollienti ed umettanti che possono essere aggiunti nella formulazione.
Tonico. E' un prodotto che viene utilizzato per il trattamento dei capelli quando il cuoio capelluto è pulito o dopo lo shampoo. Stimola la crescita dei capelli, rivitalizza il cuoio capelluto per una crescita sana dei capelli, ne riduce la caduta. Produce una sensazione di benessere su pelle e capelli.
