Functional Cosmetics Company Art Life

Currently, cosmetics market in its structure has changed significantly. To date, world leaders cosmetic industry have in its arsenal, products with these or other health-improving properties for skin and hair. Artlife Company also changed its approach to cosmetics. We do not consider the makeup as a kind of product designed exclusively for the decoration of the skin and hair or mask any external defects. Today we are talking not about beauty products, cosmeceuticals and about how the new generation of cosmetic products containing active substances in high concentrations.

By the definition of "cosmeceuticals" - a cosmetics containing biologically active components (agents) acting in both surface and deep layers of skin and hair have either a protective or corrective directed physiological effects on the skin and hair. Cosmeceuticals occupy an intermediate position between traditional cosmetics and medicines for external use, and their healing effect due to the presence of the active ingredient.

Today, to meet the challenges of maintaining health and maintain the appearance of apply an integrated approach. In recent years, the company Artlife successfully implementing the concept, which can be formulated as a Beauty Inside - «beauty inside and out, reflects the comprehensive approach. The bottom line is this: along with cosmetics hair care and skin care (Beauty on the outside) should be consumed with food functional food and drinks, so called, because they are enriched with vitamins, minerals and other active nutrients (beauty from the inside).

That is to cosmeceuticals combine with nutraceuticals.

Aims impact cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals can be divided as follows:

Cosmeceuticals

Nutraceuticals

conservation of water and oil balance on the surface of the hair or skin

normalization of metabolism

nutrition and recovery of the cells, which are available effect of active substances in cosmeticsâ ñîñòàâå êîñìåòèêè

Compensation of vitamin and mineral deficiencies

protection from exposure to environmental

strengthening the immune system.

 

  Company Artlife already made functional foods, that is, gave them certain functions. On the one hand, they perform quite traditional nutritional function, on the other hand - enrich the body with necessary vitamins and minerals. Now the company offers and makeup to make functional, that is, on the one hand, cosmetics Artlife can make your outer beauty more attractive and also to hide cosmetic defects, on the other hand, due to its innovative structure, the updated line of cosmetics can make your skin and hair healthy. Thus, it was decided to move cosmetics company Artlife in quality cosmeceuticals.

Lab company Artlife for eight years and develop their own formulas of cosmetics. The introduction of the latest technology has allowed foreign experts Artlife create an innovative line of hair care products Functional Cosmetics. What does it mean to make functional cosmetics? We use a systematic approach to caring for your appearance, and this implies purposeful action and a solution to each problem healthy skin and hair.

Innovative approach in creating functional cosmetics Artlife is that we first define the health problems of the hair and scalp. The next step - determine the most effective active ingredient in the best percentage of introducing it into the recipe. As a result, we obtain a multi-functional cosmetic product, in which each of the active ingredient solve individual problems.

When developing a new line of hair care Functional Cosmetics lab Artlife collaborated with well-known expert in the field of healthy hair and scalp clinic doctor trichologists "Siberian", a member of the Society trichologists Russia Tatiana Nikolaevna Rodionova. The studies found that the traditional division of hair types is not relevant. Therefore, when the manufacturer of a cosmetic product on the packaging says: Shampoo for oily hair, shampoo for dry and damaged hair, shampoo for colored hair, you must understand that this simple way to differentiate your product from the rest. Hair care, depends primarily on the causes of the violation of the health of hair - internal or external negative effects.

Thus identified the main causes of ill health, hair and scalp. Conditionally can be divided into exogenous (external) and endogenous (internal).

The external causes include - perming and coloring, hot air, the influence of the environment and others. The internal - wrong, unbalanced nutrition, stress, lack of vitamins and minerals.

In addition, the survey data Russians, conducted by the Institute of Nutrition, show deficiency of micronutrients (and in any time of year). Was identified vitamin C deficiency is found in 80-90% of the population, with 40-80% of Russians identified the lack of B vitamins and folic acid. Polyhypovitaminosis coupled with insufficient intake of iodine, iron, calcium and other micronutrients. How does this affect the health of your hair and scalp? Consider the following table:

Thus, it was found that the hair subject to the negative impact of domestic factors, in addition to need gentle cleansing in stimulating hair growth. If the health of the hair was provided to the external impact of an aggressive, they should first of all, the restoration of the structure.

Result of recent Research Laboratories of Artlife in cosmeceuticals and Trichology, as well as cosmetology and dermatology, created two unique line of hair care and skin care - Main and Healing.

Main Line

The main function of the main line - gentle cleansing, stimulating hair growth.

 

The speed at which hair cells are reproduced in the bulb is higher than any other tissue, except, perhaps, the bone marrow. That's why your hair so quickly respond to disease and stress, and if the disease is severe enough to affect the rate of cell division in the bulb, they will not just fall out and lose their luster, but slow growth. Look at your hair carefully. You can see that he is uneven throughout. At a time when you were sick, worked hard, been in stressful situations - the hair on a certain stretch thinned and weakened.

What happens to hair when your body works in "emergency" mode and all the reserve stocks of vitamins and nutrients are sent to fight infections, stress, or just chronic fatigue?

First,
the hair loss. Every day in a healthy person dying from about 30 to 70 hairs. Instead, they grow new ones - the same length, thickness and color. This is a completely normal process. On alopecia (hair loss or pathological) can say when the hairbrush is 80-250 hairs daily. The majority of balding men hair loss is not more frequently than others. The difference is that they have lost hair is not replaced by a normal, healthy or not replaced at all.

Second, slowing of hair growth, and as a consequence, the hair becomes sparse. Hair grows continuously, the average rate of hair growth in children - 13 mm in adults - 15 mm and the elderly - 11 mm per month. In this case, is effective stimulate hair growth from the reserve hair follicles. It is known that from about one million are located on a head of hair follicles are active only 100-150 thousand. Specific components of the main lines of functional cosmetics Artlife stimulate work and active, and reserve the hair follicles, promote the renewal and strengthening of hair.

Thirdly, the hair loses shine, become severe and rapidly polluted. So the hair is first necessary cleansing. At the core of the line - optimally balanced combination of surface-active substances. Its molecules are effectively absorb dirt, sebum, the remains of food fixation, which is especially important for the hair, oversaturated surplus of intensive care. Soft, non-greasy texture, makes it possible care to care for all types of hair as often as necessary, without the effect of weighting the hair.

Consider the mechanism of action of the major functional components of the "main line":

Healing Line

Lab company Artlife developed products for hair, who need special care. In result was a Healing line.

Main function restores the line - the return of damaged hair with a natural structure, integrity and elasticity.

 

* According to research company Cognis (Germany) (2005)

All feature restores lines have been developed taking into account the negative external influences on the hair and scalp. Hair damage are caused by many external factors. Conventionally, they can be divided into three groups: 

Mechanical damage:
frequent and rough combing, nachesyvanie hair, tight wrap on hair curlers, use sharp combs and brushes, to wear hair, tightening the hair (tail, tight braids). The result of injuries: splitting hairs over the entire length and at the tips, breaking of hair in the middle.

Thermal damage:
Use a hair dryer and irons to the maximum temperatures, UV - radiation and dry air. Result of damage: the formation of microcracks in the structure of hair all over, "cross" ends. It should be noted that this is the most common injury that disastrous effect on the protective sheath of hair. Imagine a tomato, if it pour over boiling water, then peel - the upper protective layer - very easy to fall behind from the pulp, making it very vulnerable. The same thing happens with the hair. High temperatures destroy the cuticle softening keratin hair.
Chemical damage:
Improper use of potent tools for hair care, frequent perms, bleaching and dyeing hair. Affects all segments of the hair under the influence of chemical compositions is a softening and destruction of the rod: the destruction of the natural protein bonds of the inner layer of hair, the oxidation of melanin, the destruction of the keratin. Result of injury: exposure of the fibrous layer, splitting ends, increased vulnerability to mechanical damage.

Regardless of the impact on the hair was provided, the structure of the hair varies, and the natural protection of hair is destroyed.

How to determine your hair is damaged or not. If the hair were exposed to one of these external influences, the structure of the hair is already broken. Look at your hair closely, If the tip of the whips, the thickness of the hair is uneven and rough to the touch the hair, it thinned in some areas, it is easy to break and tear, it is not shining - it is a sign of damaged hair structure.

That is why, taking care of damaged hair requires, above all, the restoration of the structure of hair and a reconstruction of their original integrity. Contained in the Revitalizing line active proteins of wheat due to its low molecular weight form fill damaged areas and restore them from the inside, reducing the brittleness of the hair up to 80% * (Research company Cognis). The original formula of functional cosmetics Artlife allows you to restore hydro-lipid coat the hair shaft, which is the natural protection of healthy hair.

Consider the mechanism of action of the major functional components of the "Revitalizing Line:

 

D-panthenol (pro-vitamin B5)

Nourishes, softens, tones the scalp, nourishes the hair with moisture. Restores damaged hair structure.

Protein hydrolyzate Pshentsov

Protects against aggressive external influences on the hair. Strengthens hair follicles, promotes the restoration and conservation of the natural hair structure. Quickly penetrates the hair cortex, reduces hair breakage by 80% * (according to the research laboratories of the company Cognis). Ideal for funds to care for dry, weakened and damaged hair.

Biotin (Vitamin H)

Has antiseboreyny effect. Revitalizes the scalp, eliminating dandruff flakes.

Aminosilikonovaya emulsion

Air-condition, adds shine, smoothing the cuticle throughout the length of hair. Thanks to ultra-fine particles that penetrate deep into the hair, moisturizing and nourishing. Reduces the drying time of hair.

 

Revitalizing shampoo

With wheat proteins and aloe vera extract

Due to the low-molecular formula, its constituent proteins of wheat deeply penetrate the hair, restoring its structure. Aminosilikonovaya microemulsion recreates the ideal breeding environment for moisturizing and hair shaft, restrukturiruya its whole length. Its micro-particles quickly and easily convey the active ingredients of the shampoo to the center of the hair shaft. As a result, even the most lifeless hair regain their elasticity and shine. Conditioning Balm

On the basis of silicone emulsion with wheat proteins and jojoba oil.

Balm rinse secures the action of the reducing shampoo. Kationaktivnaya basis balm smooths and closes scales of the hair shaft, thereby keeping the active ingredients. A unique complex saturates the hair and scalp with vitamins and minerals, provides long-term conditioning effect without the effect of weighting the hair.

Revitalizing Mask

With wheat proteins and biotin

Revitalizing Mask specifically designed for intensive care for damaged hair. The high concentration of active substances in its composition allows for a focused and comprehensive impact on all the damaged hair. Wheat proteins strengthen and protect the natural shell hair shaft, and restore split ends. Biotin has seboreguliruyuschy effect, combined with Shea butter, he nourishes and moisturizes the scalp.

How to get the best and lasting results of using new means of Functional cosmetics? recommend that you use the entire line of hair care products in the complex: shampoo, conditioner and mask. The main purpose of the shampoo - cleansing the hair and scalp of dirt, sebum, and means of fixation. Shampoo reveals flakes of cuticle, thus preparing the hair to the subsequent intensive nutrition and hydration. This can be compared with the effect of steaming the skin in a sauna - the pores open, and the skin becomes more receptive to useful substances contained in the cream that you apply after. Balsam also penetrates just below the hair keratin scales, filling in the voids between them, lining the hair surface. Balsam also influences the hair follicle - leaves hair follicle compounds to promote hair growth and regulate sebaceous excretions. Balsam conditioners contain ingredients that allow hair to dry quickly and harmlessly, without taking the necessary moisture. The mask is the basis for the process of reconstructing the structure of hair, food, dry or drying of oily scalp. This procedure is more intense than the regular care of hair after washing, and accordingly applied less frequently - 1-2 times a week.

At the end of this presentation, we consider another position of the company Artlife. Environmental degradation, stress, unbalanced nutrition, a weakened immune system - all this has a negative effect on hair. All functional foods company Artlife distinguishes a systematic approach. Healthy hair and scalp is determined by the general state of your body. Of natural beauty can be achieved only by combining the external cosmetic effects with support from the inside. While topical use preparations for the shortage of nutrients in the surface layers of the hair shaft, balanced set of internal applications deliver vital substances into the bloodstream. This biosystem dual action is most effective for the return of your hair health and beauty.
