Types of Cosmetics
The cosmetics industry thrives globally as a billion-dollar powerhouse. Here's a look at the various types of cosmetics available today.
Makeup and Beauty Products
Cosmetic products are designed for external application on the human body. They encompass a wide range of items, each serving unique functions.
Shampoos and Soaps
These products, often infused with fragrances, are used to cleanse the skin and hair. They contain surfactants, which are molecules with both lipophilic (fat-soluble) and hydrophilic (water-soluble) properties. The lipophilic part attaches to oil and dirt, while the hydrophilic component allows these impurities to be rinsed away. It’s important to differentiate them from harsher household detergents, which are not suitable for personal use and can cause irritation.
Lipsticks
Lipsticks are crafted by mixing wax, non-volatile oils like beeswax and castor oil, and water to create a water-insoluble product that spreads smoothly. Thanks to their lipophilic nature, lipsticks resist dissolving when exposed to saliva or drinks. Some lipsticks also contain dyes that interact with amino acids in the skin’s surface, transforming from blue or green in the tube to red upon application.
Moisturizers
When the outer layer of skin loses water faster than it can be replenished, dryness occurs. Moisturizers play a crucial role in preventing further water loss, known as occlusion, and in boosting the skin’s hydrophilic properties. Humectant moisturizers contain ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids or glycerin to add moisture, while occlusive moisturizers form a protective layer to retain natural hydration.
By understanding these products and their functions, you can better navigate the world of cosmetics and make informed choices for your beauty and skin care needs.
