VEGETABLE OILS As the name suggests, these are oils of vegetable origin whose main constituents are natural fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. However, unlike fats, these oils remain liquid at room temperature. They are mainly extracted from the fruit or seed through a cold pressing process, although there are also some that are obtained by maceration of different parts of the plant.

NATURAL EXTRACTS AND
OTHER ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Extracts are products obtained by extraction mechanisms that allow the
isolation of the principles actives of plants. They are obtained by
maceration in different solvents and contain the main active ingredients of
the plants from which they originate, and therefore have cosmetic and
dermatological properties. Depending on the medium in which they are
macerated, they can be:
• Glycolics: mainly macerated in propylene glycol.
• Hydroalcoholic or tinctures: macerated in ethyl alcohol of different
graduations according to the active ingredient to be extracted.
• Oleous: macerated in vegetable oil.
• Water-soluble: macerated in glycerin and wáter, normally with the
same proportion.
In cosmetic formulation they are considered as ACTIVES.Acacia Arnica Snail Slime

They are a type of natural acids that come
from different plants, fruits and foods widely
used in cosmetics such as grape seed, sugar
cane or certain citrus fruits.
They have a triple action: they exfoliate, renew
and moisturize the skin in a very effective way
and therefore improve the texture of the skin
and its quality, depending, above all, on their
molecular weight.
In this field, the best known alpha-hydroxy
acids are: glycolic acid (mainly from sugar
cane), lactic acid, citric acid and tartaric acid
(from grapes).
Emulsifying bases
Creams are the result of the union of an
aqueous phase with a fatty phase. For this to
happen, it is necessary to use emulsifiers
(surfactant molecules), since water and oil are
two antagonistic ingredients that cannot mix
naturally and on their own. Emulsifiers are
therefore essential when making creams for
cosmetic use, as they ensure that they are
stable throughout the product's shelf life.
Emulsifiers differ from each other in the way they
are used, their protective value, the texture they
give to the final cream or the type of skin for
which they are most suitable. In addition, they can
be synthetic or natural. The different types that
we can find, in general, are: Polyglycerides,
glycerol esters, potassium salts, fatty acid esters
such as sucrose or sorbitol, etc.
Odor Neutralizer
Hair care is evolving exponentially. When it
comes to cleansing, solid shampoos (in pill
form) are gaining ground, hair serums are more
effective than ever against frizz and hair loss,
and perfumes/odor neutralizers for hair are no
longer just perfumery items. Our odor
eliminator neutralizes bad smells that
mercilessly permeate the hair fibers, such as
kitchen fumes, street fumes, cigarette smoke
or the odor caused by sweat or by certain
types of greasy hair that easily accumulate dirt
and undergo oxidative processes.Peptides
A peptide is a molecule formed by the union of two or more amino acids (which, in turn, are the basic
component of proteins). Depending on the number of amino acids joined together, we obtain
oligopeptides with less than 15 bonds, polypeptides between 15 and 50 bonds and finally proteins when
more than 50 amino acids are joined together. Having a low molecular weight, peptides can penetrate
into deeper layers of the skin.
• Tripeptides have anti-inflammatory, regenerative and collagen-producing activity, as well as
improving skin firmness.
• Tetrapeptides have a firming function and can be used on specific areas of the face such as the
eye contour. They prevent loss of elasticity and promote regeneration.
• Pentapeptides are great allies to improve skin firmness in those areas where wrinkles are more
pronounced, such as the eyes. At low concentrations they have a similar effect to retinol, but without
the side effects of retinol.
• Hexapeptides are able to relax the muscles and therefore have a stronger effect on dynamic
wrinkles. These peptides are referred to as the "Botox effect" but with the advantage that they are
applied topically and tighten the skin without side effects.
Ferments
There are millions of bacteria in the skin. This group of different species of microorganisms, which
colonize not only our skin but also other parts of the body such as the intestine or the lungs, is known
as the microbiome. Many of these microscopic organisms are with us from birth to death and influence
our growth and development. Fermentation is a biotechnological process in which active ingredients
(plant extracts, fruits, etc.) are fermented separately by enzymes and natural bacteria (yeasts) in an
oxygen-free environment at an ambient temperature of 36.9 degrees Celsius. As the fermentation
environment acidifies, the bacteria and microbes die and the active ingredients are converted into
nutrients such as antioxidants, vitamins, amino acids, probiotics... among others. Studies show that
lactobacillus ferments help treat and prevent acne, rosacea or eczema thanks to their protective, anti-
inflammatory properties and the antibacterial effect produced by lactobacillus. They can also
strengthen the external barrier of the dermis, reducing dryness.
