Description
The main function of cholesterol in cosmetics is its ability to preserve and restore the lipid barrier of the skin. Cholesterol helps to strengthen this barrier, preventing moisture loss and protecting the skin from harmful external factors such as dry air or aggressive external pollutants. Adding cholesterol to cosmetic products also helps to restore and preserve the barrier function of the skin. It can improve its elasticity, softness and texture, helping to maintain smoothness and youthfulness of the skin. Cholesterol can also have soothing properties for the skin, reducing inflammation and irritation. It can help to heal skin damage and slow down aging processes. In addition to skin care, cholesterol is also used in cosmetic products for hair care. It helps to restore the structure of the hair, strengthens it, improves its elasticity and natural shine.
