The“modern” cosmetology industry is focusing on research devoted to discovering novel neurocosmetic functional ingredients that could improve the interactions between the skin and the nervous system. 

Neurocosmetics is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and high-potential fields in the world of beauty today, as it aims to understand, explain and publicise all the “inner & outer” interactions and connections that characterise us on a daily basis and which have an impact on the state of our skin: mental state, emotions, stress, etc., but also our environment, the air, the water and the air quality.

Neurocosmetics are formulated with active ingredients that have structural similarities with endogenous neuromediators (substances produced by our body), involved in the regulation of the main skin functions, whose action they mimic by binding to the receptors present on the skin cells in order to improve their appearance and treat blemishes.Neurocosmetics takes a holistic approach to beauty by working on both the inside and the outside, tinkering with the skin and the body.

The neurocosmetic created following these principles becomes a product capable of communicating with the skin-brain system, also inducing specific sensations (such as pleasure and well-being), through the interaction with the receptors present on the skin cells, as well as playing the fundamental role of contributing to skin health.

Neurocosmetic, through the results of neuroscience studies, tries to understand how it is possible to unlock certain emotions through the use of a cosmetic product. Now a days substances capable of improving the quality of sleep is incorporated in night cream and, consequently the mood upon awakening the following morning.
The active ingredients used by neurocosmetics have the main characteristic of stimulating the production of dopamine and serotonin and, therefore, a good mood. These are mostly ingredients of vegetable origin which penetrating into the skin make it more beautiful and give sensations of pleasure.

The active ingredients in neurocosmetics work their magic by increasing the lifespan of cells.
Among the main ingredients indicated in the development of a neurocosmetics project, there are essential oils, with great transcutaneous diffusibility and incredible diffusive power.

Neurocosmetics not only assist the skin in protecting, regenerating, and soothing itself, but they also have a mind-bending impact on the brain, leaving you looking younger, calmer, and healthier. 
At the core of this groundbreaking concept are neuro peptides. These magical ingredients modulate and enhance the all-important messengers of our brain, the neurotransmitters. By supercharging these communication channels, neurocosmetics help the brain react swiftly and effectively to external stimuli, contributing to overall well-being.

Recognizing products powered by Neurocosmetics is like getting a wake-up call for your senses. As soon as you apply them, you’ll feel an awakening. The texture, aroma, and feel on the skin are carefully designed to stimulate or inhibit the skin’s neuroreceptors. These little receptors, found in the upper layers of the epidermis and dermis, hold the key to unlocking your skin’s sensory input. Neurocosmetics play with these receptors like a maestro conducting a symphony, creating a profound impact on your skin.
The scientific research behind neurocosmetics has shown promising results. A study conducted by the Journal of Advanced Dermatology demonstrated the effectiveness of neurocosmetics in enhancing the skin-brain connection. The research highlighted how neurocosmetics assist the skin in protecting, regenerating, and soothing itself, leading to visible improvements in the skin’s appearance. Furthermore, the study found that neurocosmetics have a calming and relaxing impact on the nerves and brain, which contributes to a flawless and glowing complexion.

One key factor that sets neurocosmetics apart from conventional cosmetics is their ability to modulate neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters play a crucial role in transmitting signals between nerve cells in the brain. By enhancing neurotransmitter activity, neurocosmetics facilitate faster and more effective communication, resulting in improved skin health and beauty.

Another exciting aspect of neurocosmetics is their impact on sensory perception. Products powered by Neurocosmetics are designed to awaken the senses during application. The unique textures, captivating aromas, and luxurious feel on the skin are all part of the carefully crafted sensory experience. Neurocosmetics activate or inhibit the skin’s neuroreceptors, which are responsible for transmitting sensory information to the brain. This sensory stimulation adds an extra dimension to the skincare routine, making it a truly immersive and pleasurable experience.

The longevity of skin cells is a significant concern when it comes to maintaining youthful and healthy skin. Neurocosmetics address this concern by incorporating active ingredients that increase the lifespan of cells. These ingredients work at a cellular level to counteract the negative effects of aging, such as collagen breakdown and loss of elasticity. As a result, neurocosmetics help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin, promoting a more youthful and rejuvenated complexion.

But let’s not forget about the brain! Neurocosmetics not only work wonders on the skin but also have a profound impact on our mental well-being. The brain-skin connection is a fascinating area of study, and emerging research suggests that our mental state can significantly influence the health and appearance of our skin. Neurocosmetics tap into this connection by promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. The soothing effects of neurocosmetic products can help reduce stress levels, which in turn can contribute to a healthier complexion. Who knew that skincare could be a form of brain therapy?

The rise of neurocosmetics is not just a passing trend; it’s a paradigm shift in the beauty industry. The traditional approach of focusing solely on external factors is being challenged, as consumers are becoming more aware of the intricate relationship between their skin and brain.

Neurocosmetics offer a holistic approach to beauty, acknowledging the importance of internal factors in achieving radiant skin.
With neurocosmetics, the fountain of youth might not be a myth after all!
