Description
The main components that provide skin benefits are ascorbic acid (vitamin C), beta-carotene, polysaccharides, and vitamin K. Cucumber fruit extract acts as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin care agent in cosmetics and personal care products. In addition, cucumber fruit extract contains aromatic components that do not increase skin sensitivity, so it can be safely used to enhance the natural scent of a cosmetic product. Cucumber fruit extract effectively moisturizes and conditions the skin due to its rich polysaccharide content. After local application, they create a gel-like layer on the skin, which acts as a barrier to attract and retain moisture. Cucumber is primarily composed of water (95%) and is a good source of vitamin C and vitamin K, rich in potassium and magnesium. Cucumber also contains a lot of sulfur and silicon, which help to cleanse the skin, strengthen nails, and promote hair growth, making us beautiful from the inside out.
