It is what Lin Yaxin can bring to everyone that these plants living in forests and vegetation are refined into materialized products and methods that can bring care, regulation and nourishment to the human body in a professional way.
So, what are the nutritional elements of plant aromatherapy skin care products? How do they care for our skin effectively?
A plant has evolved into a phytochemical product effective for human skin and even the whole human body, which is mainly refined into three media: pure dew, essential oil and vegetable oil.
Then through the cooperation of the three media, the human body is cared and treated.
Base oil, essential oil and pure dew are three completely different things and can't replace each other. They are interdependent and exist independently in skin care.
What are the effective components of these three media on the skin? ?
I. Composition of Base Oil
Moisturizing and easily absorbed base oil is one of the most important raw materials for skin care. The fatty substances in base oil can protect the skin and avoid premature aging of the skin.
Among the fat-related substances, four nutrients are mainly introduced:
1. flavonoids.
Flavonoids are characteristic plant pigments, which have a great protective effect on the reconstruction and growth of skin and mucosa, and can go deep into the basal layer to gradually care for the skin before keratinization, making the skin young and elastic.
2. Carotene.
Carotene can help the reconstruction and repair of skin and mucosa.
3. Phytosterols.
Phytosterol can help blood circulation, relieve allergic problems such as itchy skin and make skin soft and elastic.
4. lecithin.
Lecithin can protect skin, improve skin's water retention, and reduce the generation of glossy.
Second, the effective components of essential oil
The chemical composition and proportion of an essential oil basically determine its psychological and physiological functions, but it also needs to be combined with plant families and genera, extraction parts and so on.
Active ingredients of common essential oils:
1. monoterpenoid ketone
Representative essential oils: camphor, rosemary and spearmint.
Physiological effects: dissolve fat and mucus, stimulate nerve and skin regeneration.
Psychological function: open your mind and keep your head clear.
2. Oxide

Physiological function: contact lymph and vein blockage, strengthen heart and protect skin.
Psychological function: peace of mind.
Third, the effective components of pure dew
The nutrients in pure dew can refer to the chemical types of essential oil, but some active ingredients in pure dew are hydrophilic, so these substances can only stay in pure dew, not in essential oil.
Because the nutrients of the two are very similar, professional manufacturers of pure dew will not distill plants to extract essential oils. In order to ensure the nutritional components of pure dew.
In addition to the reference of chemical composition of essential oil, there are many anti-inflammatory organic acids in pure dew.
Vegetable oil, essential oil and pure dew all contain nutrients, which have the functions of supplementing nutrition, moisturizing and conditioning, but they also have their own special functions.
In short:
Pure dew, compared with the other two, has the advantages of rapid, in-depth and sufficient hydration;
Essential oil, focusing on the conditioning effect of nutrients;
Vegetable oil, focusing on moisturizing and protecting sebum.
