In Phytocosmetics, many are the functional substances available. Their research and selection is fundamental to obtain cosmetics that provide specific, focused and effective actions. Research continues tirelessly in Marjposa labs to ensure safety and effectiveness to our cosmetic product lines. Functional substances come from: minerals, where we find trace elements and salts; vegetable, where we find, among others, oils and butters; the animal kingdom, where we find honey, pollen and propolis
Functional substances possess what we call cosmetic action, and there are many we could list. For instance, if we're considering toning action, we're talking about functional substances that confer freshness, firmness and tone to the skin. If we're referring to an antioxidant function we're talking about substances that obstruct the formation of free radicals, which are responsible for the premature skin aging. Some other very notable and requested functions are the moisturizing, soothing, antibacterial, calming and purifying ones.
