Key ingredient: Biotin
What is Biotin?
Biotin, often called the beauty vitamin, is essential for the proper functioning of skin cells, hair, and nails, as it participates in keratin synthesis.
Action & Benefits:
- Known as vitamin H or B7.
- A key ingredient for healthy hair and nails.
- Strengthens the keratin structure, preventing hair breakage and loss.
- In skincare cosmetics, it regulates the sebaceous glands and improves the condition of problematic skin.
In cosmetics, biotin acts as a regulator – it helps control excessive sebum production, making it an ally in the fight against oily hair and acne-prone skin. It also strengthens the nail plate, preventing splitting.
Can biotin be overdosed when used in cosmetics?
No, biotin is a water-soluble vitamin and, when applied topically in cosmetics, it is completely safe. The skin absorbs only as much of the ingredient as it needs for regenerative processes.
