CosMedix is a natural, paraben-free, fragrance-free skin care and skin nutrition brand. The products contain no artificial colors and are what the skin care industry refers to as “chirally correct.” Chiral correction is CosMedix’s method to radiant skin.
Each of nature’s building blocks is made up of two types of the same molecule. Scientists have determined that each of these mirror image molecules has different properties, some harmful and useless and some beneficial to the body. Those molecules that are chirally correct have been purified at this molecular level and produce only the positive effects of each ingredient. By purifying each ingredient, this leaves little possibility for allergic or adverse reactions.
When ingredients are not chirally correct, the harmful properties of the molecules are left behind, and can cause irritation and inflammation to the skin. Over time, this irritation and inflammation contributes to the signs of aging – premature aging.
CosMedix is a skin care collection that focuses on treating your individual skin conditions – not your skin type. The use of holistic, plant-based ingredients is a natural, yet an effective way to treat skin conditions. Because CosMedix is paraben-free, only natural preservatives are used to keep the product stable; vitamins A and C, witch hazel and jasmine are used to protect the product.
CosMedix also makes it a priority to use the most potent and effective chirally correct ingredients available. CosMedix knows that the majority of glycolic acid used today is a synthetic glycolic acid, which is not recognized by the skin. When synthetic glycolic acid in skin care products is not recognized by the skin, it leads to damage of the skin, which leads to aging. CosMedix stays clear of negative ingredients like this.
Inflammation is the core cause of irritating skin conditions. CosMedix refuses to use irritating ingredients that cause this inflammation unlike many traditional skin care lines. Avoiding ingredients like artificial additives, parabens, synthetic glycolic acid and sodium lauryl sulfate increase your chances for a healthier more beautiful skin.
