NATURAL INGRIDIENTS AND NATURAL ORIGIN OF ADVANCED MATERIALS

---

Water constitutes 60-70% of the human body, serving as the essential medium for biochemical reactions. It facilitates the interaction of organic and inorganic molecules within our organisms. Crucial life functions, such as nutrient absorption, tissue growth, and waste removal, rely heavily on water. In ionized water form, minerals get access to cells and tissues and become integrated into the living matter. 

Water is a primary ingredient that makes up a significant portion of the skin care formulations, allowing for lightweight and breathable texture. The exact percentage of water is not readily available to the public and cannot be found on the product's ingredient list.  While the exact water content of skin foundations varies depending on the specific product, most of them are considered water-based.

Cosmetic formulations have significantly advanced in recent years, driven by a deeper understanding of skin science. Key physicochemical properties, such as density, refractive index, oxidation state, and vibrational frequency, play crucial roles in determining the effectiveness of cosmetic ingredients. These properties guide the formulation of superior emollients and day creams, optimizing their performance and benefits for the skin. 

The physicochemical properties of emollients, such as density, refractive index, and oxidation state, significantly influence their ability to effectively cover and moisturize the skin. These properties impact how the emollient spreads, absorbs, and interacts with the skin's natural barrier. Emollients are a crucial component of many cosmetic formulations, typically constituting 5-30% of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. After water, they represent the second-largest group of ingredients in these formulations.

Cosmetic emulsions consist of two immiscible phases: an oil phase and an aqueous phase. Emulsifiers, acting as surfactants, stabilize this mixture by reducing interfacial tension. They can be classified as O/W emulsions where oil droplets are dispersed within a continuous water phase, and W/O emulsions where water droplets are dispersed within a continuous oil phase. These emulsions incorporate various components, including hydrophilic phase,  hydrophobic phase,  emulsifiers, functional additives, preservatives, fragrances. 

The choice of ingredients and their specific proportions significantly influence the stability, texture, and performance of the final emulsion. While W/O emulsions can provide a protective barrier, their ability to directly hydrate the skin may be limited compared to O/W emulsions, which can more readily deliver water to the skin.
