Cosmetic Active Ingredients – Must To Get Cosmetic Benefit
                     Cosmetic Active Ingredients – Must To Get 
Cosmetic Benefit
Anil Kumar
Works for one of the quality Vinnerlabs 
cosmetics active ingredients suppliers. Writes on cosmetics 
active ingredients for personal care, home care, hair colour, 
sun care products, pigmentation dryer and dietary 
supplements including Iscotrizinol from Vinnerlabs, also 
called as Uvasorb Heb / Diethylhexyl butamido triazone.
    In any cosmetic product, active ingredients are the most important 
substances. For, it is only because of these ingredients that a cosmetic 
product is able to yield the desired result. The presence of actives, which is 
another name for active ingredients, is a must if the products have to 
resolve the concerned skin issues.
• The effectiveness of most of the cosmetic active ingredients has been 
proven by extensive scientific research. These ingredients have the ability 
to go deep into the innermost layers of the skin to cure varied skin 
problems like hyperpigmentation and acne.
•  Here, it should be understood that not all active ingredients are suitable 
for all consumers. The active ingredient/s that gives the expected 
outcome to one user might not be able to do so for another consumer. 
In the same way, a few activities could even cause allergic reactions for 
some people. Finally, it all depends on the precise skin type of a given 
person.
•  The claims made by manufacturers/sellers about active ingredients have 
to be treated just as general communication about the product’s 
efficacy. The same result can’t be guaranteed for all consumers; there 
could be individual variations.
•  People have to make a note that the active ingredients of cosmetics are 
not as strictly regulated as those related to pharmaceutical products. 
Therefore, consumers must not depend entirely on what they see and 
hear in cosmetic ads and marketing campaigns. It’s desirable that they 
do their own research and gather as many details as possible. That is 
imperative to make sure that a consumer does not end up buying/using 
an unsuitable product.
•  It has to be highlighted that every active ingredient does not alleviate all 
skin conditions. A specific activity usually works against only one or two 
skin issues. For instance, when a person is seeking to treat acne, they 
have to go for products having ingredients like vitamin A, benzoyl 
peroxide, or salicylic acid. Likewise, cosmetics that contain vitamin E and 
hyaluronic acid as actives are useful for combating skin dryness.
•  As already mentioned, the regulations applicable to cosmetic active 
ingredients are not that stringent. Some cosmetic products are sold over 
the counter, while a few can be bought only through a physician’s 
prescription. Sometimes, it is seen that a product sold against a 
prescription is more effective than that that’s available over the counter. 
Here, the key aspect is that some active ingredients are the same in both 
these variants.
•  Because of the above point, it’s preferable that consumers get their 
facts correctly. If the concerned skin problem is causing a fair deal of 
discomfort, it would be better if they seek the guidance of a 
dermatologist. In these situations, it could be risky if people themselves 
come to conclusions about the appropriate active ingredients.
•  A write-up about cosmetic active ingredients will be incomplete if it 
does not make a mention of inactive ingredients. Along with actives, 
cosmetic products are inclusive of substances that are called inactive 
ingredients, as well.
    Many people erroneously think that inactive ingredients serve no 
purpose, but it is not so. These elements ensure that the active 
ingredients go deeper into the skin and give the expected outcome. 
Also, they make certain that the shelf life of the product is not lessened. 
Thus, even inactive substances can be considered as a “must” in 
cosmetic items.
