What is a cosmetic?
|
|
|
Definition: A cosmetic protects the skin from environmental pollution or
various toxic materials (chemical, mineral, medicinal), keeps the skin healthy
and restores it through direct application and absorption of nutrients which
the skin needs. Choosing harmless, everyday cosmetics to protect and maintain
your health is paramount.

Technical classification
|
|
| General natural cosmetic |
General natural cosmetics are made from emulsifying water-soluble and
oil-soluble ingredients. They are the main sources of chemical and mineral
materials, and the composite chemical materials such as preservatives, artificial
colors and fragrances common to cosmetic technology derived from old
chemical cosmetics. Recently, natural ingredients have been used to meet the
customers’ demands. However, these cosmetics may not work well because they
interfere with the absorption of nutrients and the respiration of the skin.
|
| General Korean herbal cosmetics |
General Korean herbal cosmetics are made through an introduction of medical
or composite functional materials in order to remedy their flaws such as side
effects.
|
| Traditional Korean herbal cosmetics |
Traditional Korean herbal cosmetics are made from compound prescriptions
of dozens of medicinal herbs based on Oriental philosophy from which a
new material called jundanmuljil is created. Unlike general herbal cosmetics,
they do not interfere with cutaneous respiration and make the skin healthy
by promoting absorption to activate the skin cells. Since they are made from
edible raw materials they absorb volatile and synthetic nutrients safely. |
