How can a cream penetrate my skin?
-
Hello Brains,I've been through your site but can't seem to finŠ² any info about the following.What kind of systems cosmetics manufacturers can use to make their product penetrate deeper into our skins? Is there a classification of some sort? Is it possible to tell what kind of "transportation" is used just based on the ingredients list?

There's not a quick answer to this question, but I'll try:Some ingredients are able penetrate through the skin on their own.Other ingredients can be made to penetrate through the use of penetration enhancers and/or encapsulation.There's no easy way to tell from the ingredient list. If you've been listening to our podcasts on anti-aging ingredients you'll see how hard it is to find good data on the skin penetration of most ingredients.
Howdy, Stranger!
