In his recent blog, beauty expert Steven
Borden, explains the role of vitamins in skin care. He feels that instead of topical
application of vitamins on skin, one should follow vitamin-rich diet for full
benefits. He also underlines the fact
that majority of vitamins used in the personal care and cosmetic industries are
synthetic, though not all.
With
our own experience in creating natural organic beauty formulations at Herbally
Radiant, we may emphasize that the products which contain natural vitamins,
especially Vitamin A, C, D and E, have proved to be more effective in producing
collagen and elastin which prevent aging signs and prevent wrinkles. We also
know from our experience that the pharma-based formulations (e.g., synthetic
ingredients), boasting vitamins, have no real effect or very little effect.
Our
own tests have demonstrated that the natural Vitamin E derived from vegetable
oil has a far more potent antioxidant effect than synthetic Vitamin E. The
dramatic difference in quality between natural Vitamin E and synthetic Vitamin
E has no parallel with any other vitamin used in cosmetics. In skin care,
natural Vitamin B3 vs synthetic Vitamin B3 is six of one half dozen of another.
But a formulator cannot swap synthetic Vitamin E for natural Vitamin E and
expect the finished product to be of the same quality. If one wants the maximum
benefits of Vitamin E one must use natural Vitamin E.
The
final beauty formulations launched by Herbally Radiant, especially its
anti-aging range (Rejuvenating and Radiant), use only certified organic
vitamins, like those derived from mixed vegetable oils. With our own experience
in creating natural organic beauty formulations at Herbally Radiant, we may
emphasize that the products which contain vitamins, especially vitamin A, C and
D, have proved to be more effective in revitalizing the skin. We have time and
again been creating more consumer awareness that the claims of the pharma-based
formulations boasting all kinds of vitamins,
have more to do with the marketing strategy of the industry than the actual
benefit to the skin.
We
are aware that botanically derived vitamins are very expensive when compared to
synthetic vitamins. Since most of the consumers of cosmetic products are not
inclined to pay premium for botanically derived vitamins, manufacturers of
beauty products use only synthetic vitamins. (For example, between the years
2007 and 2012, the price of natural Vitamin E shot up by over 200%.) However,
in order to make its products uniquely beneficial, Herbally Radiant has been consistently
using natural vitamins, in combination
of Essential Oils, to ensure quality and efficacy of its products.
