Cosmetics [2]
Development history
ancient times
In primitive society, some tribes smeared animal fat on their skin during sacrificial activities to make the skin look healthy and shiny, which was the earliest skin care behavior. It can be seen that the history of cosmetics can almost be inferred from the existence of human beings. During the 5th century BC to 7th century AD, there were many legends and records about the production and use of cosmetics in various countries, such as the ancient Egyptians curled their hair with mud, the ancient Egyptian queen painted her eyes with verdigris, bathed her body with donkey milk, and the ancient Greek beauty Asbage covered wrinkles with fish glue. There are many cosmetic appliances. In ancient China, people also liked to wipe their cheeks with rouge and moisten their hair with hair oil to set off the beauty and charm of their faces.
Mineral oil age
In 1970s, a number of well-known cosmetics companies in Japan were jointly sued by 18 women who suffered from severe melanosis due to using their cosmetics. This incident not only caused a sensation in the international beauty industry, but also promoted a great revolution in skin care products. Early skin care cosmetics originated from the chemical industry. At that time, it was difficult to extract it naturally from plants, and the petrochemical synthesis industry was very developed. Therefore, many raw materials for skin care products and cosmetics come from the chemical industry, and now many international and domestic brands are reusing the raw materials of that era, with low prices, relatively simple raw materials and low costs, so the mineral oil era is also a daily chemical era.
The age of natural ingredients
Since 1980s, dermatologists have found that adding various natural raw materials to skin care products has a certain moisturizing effect on the skin. At this time, the large-scale natural extraction and separation industry has matured. Since then, skin care products on the market can gradually find natural ingredients! From land to sea, from plants to animals, all kinds of natural ingredients are available. Some people even go to inaccessible places, trying to find special raw materials and create miracles of skin care, including tropical rainforests. Of course, there are many natural gimmicks at this time. Most of the bottom materials may still use the ingredients of the mineral oil era, but only occasionally add some natural ingredients, because there are still many problems in the mixing and anticorrosion of ingredients. Some companies have been able to completely abandon the original industrial assembly line, produce pure natural things, and gradually form some top-class and special brands.
Zero burden era
20 10 years ago, zero-burden products became popular in Europe, America and Taiwan Province province. In the past, they liked plants too much. Because of the development of society, in order to meet the special requirements of more people for skin, there are more and more additives in skin care products, so many skin care products are natural but not necessarily natural. Many products using natural ingredients and mineral ingredients have caused unnecessary harm and even allergies to the skin, which has sounded the alarm for the skin care industry. Pursuing zero burden will soon become the most substantial change in the history of skin care development at this stage. After 20 10 years, zero-burden products began to be born. One batch of products will mainly reduce unnecessary chemical components and increase pure skin care components, which will bring brand-new changes to female friends who often use cosmetics. The main feature of "zero-burden" products is that many useless ingredients are greatly reduced. Skin care ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid and collagen, are actively used and directly absorbed by the skin, even if the product performance is extremely mild. [3]

Cosmetics for pregnant women: During pregnancy, due to the increase of estrogen and lutein secretion, the energy of skin self-protection and repair is not enough to cope with the increasing melanin production, which leads to the increase of melanin and the deepening of skin pigment. At this time, the skin is most afraid of ultraviolet rays and radiation, which will quickly crush the skin's defense ability, let the skin's energy plummet, and let the pregnancy spots precipitate on the face at any time. At the same time, the attenuated skin energy can not resist the threat of the decline of skin water storage capacity and cell metabolism capacity, leading to water shortage and cell metabolism. Therefore, pay special attention to skin care during pregnancy.

Action effect
Anti-aging effect of skin care products
Skin aging is universal, multifactorial, progressive, degenerative and endogenous. In the structure and physiological function of skin, the thickness of epidermis increases, and severe atrophy or hyperplasia can occur in different parts. Keratinocytes and melanocytes have certain nuclear atypia.
Anti-aging principle:
The effects of anti-aging active substances include: scavenging free radicals; Increase cell proliferation rate; Delay the degradation rate of extracellular matrix, so anti-aging cosmetics need to choose excellent skin care agents to supplement enough nutrition to the skin to achieve deep nutrition. At the same time, it is also necessary to slow down the loss of skin moisture and protect the skin.
Efficient sun protection: Sun exposure is an important reason for accelerating skin aging. Therefore, sun protection and ultraviolet protection are essential products of anti-aging cosmetics.
Deep moisturizing: Although there are many factors that promote skin aging, the water content of skin is the main factor to keep skin soft and elastic and prevent aging.
Inhibit the activity of protein poisoning and increase the synthesis of protein: The skin is composed of collagen and elastin, and the state of the skin depends on the loss of protein and the ability of cells in the skin to synthesize protein. Elastin degradation and degeneration after degradation will lead to skin aging symptoms such as elasticity loss, relaxation and wrinkles. Therefore, delaying the degradation rate of elastin is also one of the principles of anti-aging cosmetics design.
