Why a Cosmeceutical?

Why should you choose a cosmeceutical product over a cosmetic?

Cosmetics offer no permanent change to the skin. Period. This is not what we say, but what the FDA says.

FDA definition of a cosmetic…”A cosmetic is any article applied to the human body or any part there of for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness or altering the appearance without affecting the body’s structure or function”.

The Academy of Dermatology, the cosmetics industry uses the word Cosmeceutical, “…to refer to cosmetic products that have medicinal or drug-like benefits.”
Cosmeceuticals enhance the health and beauty of the skin by altering the structure and function of the skin. They are the “new generation” tools needed to promote the health of the skin and are cumulative, just as diet and exercise. The quality of ingredients is pharmaceutical grade. They are manufactured in a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant according to stricter FDA standards, not a “clean room” environment.

Knowledge empowers…why use cosmetics when they just cover? Cosmecueticals offer permanent change to the health of your skin!
