Nutricosmetics
Functional Beauty Products
Holistic beauty products are gaining increasing relevance. Micronutrient premixes enable the development of innovative nutricosmetics that target beauty-related physiological processes.
Factors influencing skin, hair and nails
The condition of skin, hair and nails is shaped by physiological processes as well as external influencing factors. Environmental stressors, UV radiation, psychological stress, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes affect skin ageing, barrier function and inflammatory processes. Micronutrients are involved in key functions such as cell division, antioxidant protection, collagen metabolism and interactions along the gut–skin–brain axis.
Skin, hair and nails at the core of holistic beauty concepts
Skin, hair and nails are highly responsive to internal and external influencing factors. An adequate supply of selected micronutrients supports key physiological processes that influence their structure and function.
Skin
The skin is continuously exposed to environmental factors such as UV radiation, oxidative stress and hormonal changes. Micronutrients including biotin, vitamins C and E, as well as zinc and selenium, are involved in antioxidant defense mechanisms, skin barrier function and collagen metabolism.
Hair
Hair growth and hair structure depend on an adequate supply of nutrients to the hair follicles. Micronutrients such as zinc, iron, vitamins B2 and B6, as well as folate and pantothenic acid, support cellular division processes, keratin formation and energy metabolism at the hair root.
Nails
Nails consist largely of keratin and are sensitive to nutrient deficiencies. Zinc and selenium are involved in keratin formation and contribute to the maintenance of nail structural integrity.
