Natural active ingredients in cosmetics for mature skin

The human skin performs key functions in the human body, while also being a reflection of the many changes occurring within it. The face, which is most exposed to external factors, is the area where the skin ageing process progresses most rapidly. The study aimed to review the most commonly used active ingredients in natural cosmetics for mature skin, available on the Polish cosmetics market. Raw materials of natural origin are a rich source of active substances, which are widely used in cosmetics. These substances not only moisturise, nourish, cleanse, soften and smooth the skin, but also stimulate circulation in blood vessels, eliminating redness and swelling. The use of active ingredients of natural origin can effectively maintain mature skin in good condition, significantly delaying the ageing processes occurring within it.
