Extended data:

At present, the dazzling array of products on the skin care counter is often dazzling, especially some "multifunctional cosmetics", which claim to have multiple functions such as whitening, moisturizing and repairing the "three-in-one" essence. As we all know, skin care products do not have as many functions as possible for the following reasons:

1, in terms of composition ratio

In order to realize functional diversification, there must be more added ingredients than single functional products. However, due to the limitation of concentration, the proportion of each ingredient in the whole product will decrease, resulting in unsatisfactory functions of each ingredient.

2. As far as the composition nature is concerned.

Each component has its physical and chemical properties, such as morphology, specific gravity, solubility, acidity and alkalinity. , which determines which components can exist in the same product without reaction, resulting in changes in properties, weakening or disappearance of functions. The more components, the greater the possibility of mutual reaction.

3、? As far as product stability is concerned

The more effective skin care products are, the more ingredients are needed to keep their properties stable, such as emulsifiers and thickeners. The ingredients are too complicated, and the skin is more susceptible to allergies. Therefore, the ideal skin care product is to use the least ingredients to maximize its efficacy.

Xinhuanet-Skin care products, the less functions, the better.
