The Egyptian queen Cleopatra can be safely called the first cosmetologist who created real cosmetic masterpieces. As Cleopatra created products using the latest knowledge of the time, the beauty queen was already using products known today as “cosmeceuticals”.
Cosmeceuticals is a field that combines the two disciplines of cosmetology and pharmaceutics in order to create cosmetic products that are effective for the beauty and health of the skin based on scientific research.

Raymond Reed defined the new trend in cosmetics and first said the word “cosmeceuticals” publicly, in 1961, in a response speech on the occasion of receiving the Medal of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists of the USA. However, at that time, the concept of cosmeceuticals, proclaimed by Reed, was not developed, and the term was forgotten for many 20 years. It was Albert Montgomery Kligman, Professor of Dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania, who “pulled” cosmeceuticals out of oblivion. Kligman spoke about this term again in 1984 during a scientific conference of the same Society of Cosmetic Chemists. Specialists refer to such cosmetics several groups of products: facial care products; body care products; hair and scalp care products.
The main problem of cosmeceuticals is that the regulation of cosmeceutical products is not legally defined, and for the concept of “cosmeceuticals” itself there is no legal definition in many countries. Being at the junction of pharmaceutical and cosmetic sciences, cosmeceuticals claim to have a composition that has both therapeutic and preventive effects on the skin. Such properties should be given to cosmeceutical products by active ingredients that have not only aesthetic but also physiological effects. These include: acids; vitamins in high concentration; plant extracts; hyaluronic acid; extracts. At the same time, such cosmeceuticals work even with serious aesthetic problems: acne of the 1st and 2nd degree, hyperpigmentation and age-related changes.
A separate category is cosmeceuticals for hair. Their purpose is maximal hair restoration due to the high content of active components in the composition. They have a certain evidence base, and although the ongoing clinical studies are much less extensive than those of medicines, hair products have an excellent tangible therapeutic effect. The active ingredients (silk extract, keratin, proteins, lipids, ceramides) have a stronger concentration. Such products work with the quality of hair at a deep level and help to maintain their condition, for example: age-control complex fights against hair aging, color hold protects the color of colored and natural hair, seasilk - moisturizing complex, and enzymotherapy complex - a complex of enzymes that break complex molecules of substances into simpler ones, so they can be easier and more efficiently absorbed at all levels.
Medicinal cosmetics, cosmeceuticals, dermocosmetics, active cosmetics - all these terms are used in one way or another to describe cosmetic products that have a corrective and regenerating effect, but on the whole they are not drugs. Cosmeceuticals are cosmetic products, the development of which was based on scientific medical and pharmaceutical data, so that the use of all the ingredients of the product is scientifically justified.
Therapeutic cosmetics are considered as part of the pharmacy range of cosmetic products, the action of which is aimed at maintaining a stable condition of the skin and hair. In this category there are selective products (premium class and luxury class), created using high technology and aimed primarily at overcoming aesthetic defects in appearance (wrinkles, loose skin, dull color).
Cosmetics is divided into two types:
Aesthetic cosmetics, designed to care for skin of all ages and genders, with problems of dehydration, atony, wrinkles, it has a powerful preventive effect;
Medicinal cosmetics carry out correction of dermatological problems (atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, etc.) without exacerbation
Having separated from cosmetology and pharmaceutics into a separate branch, cosmeceuticals begin to divide themselves into narrower vectors. For example, such a line of cosmeceuticals as nutricosmetics is already known. The difference is that while cosmeceuticals are intended for external use, nutricosmetics are intended for internal use. Sometimes the preparations of the nutricosmetic group are also called dietary supplements: and this is also partly true. This category of products is designed to help the hair, nails and skin: nutricosmetics improve their condition, make them stronger, healthier. Nutricosmetics usually contain a variety of vitamins, minerals, coenzymes and trace elements.
I worked for a long time in the quality and service department of the market leader of the pharmacy chain in my region. I was constantly confronted with the category of these products. And our bosses “forced” us to study them lol
In this project, I will try to summarize my knowledge. My colleagues will also help me. More specifically, the project is already taking shape.
For those who have a Beauty Clinic, it will be a luxury bonus after the therapeutic procedures.
But I assure you - these products can be used absolutely independently of each other.
the aim of the project is to create a universal therapeutic and preventive serum for the body, face, hair of luxury class and a nutricosmetic tonic.
the project will use several other details, associated with the rejuvenation of the whole body
the skin and hair care model will be based on - Biologique Recherche
Biologique Recherche USA (biologique-recherche.com)
we hope to receive this luxurious gift next month in time for the holidays.
A few conditions or requests:
Those who have identified a desire to participate in this project in the Beauty Clinic group - no need to apply, I’ll keep my promise lol
those who have already bought their NFT copies in my other groups can apply
I also ask you to weigh your financial resources, and after the activation of the project to buy a copy within a certain time (we will agree on a deadline)
I will ask another person to recruit, to reduce bias
I think about 10-12 more people will be enough
group will be formed after the weekend
- Yes, I want to be beautiful, healthy and forever young :)
