Our increased preoccupation with skin care has come to stay. Even after our return to new normal, our interest in skincare is higher than ever. Of course, in this context, we are constantly on the alert to learn the latest revolutionary ingredients for our skin.
So, we have researched and presented the 8 skincare ingredients that you should know in 2022.
Green tea
Our favorite drink works wonders for our skin as well. In fact, green tea is known for its powerful antioxidant action. More specifically, it can reduce pigmentation, enhance UV protection and reduce inflammation and sebum production. Thus, it helps in a variety of purposes: from anti-aging (through antioxidant protection) to fighting acne.
Water soluble CBD
You’ve probably seen several CBD care products, many of which contain the active ingredient in oil blends. However, water-soluble CBD is proving to be the most bioavailable form of the ingredient, which means that it is more easily accessible by skin cells. This is important as CBD is by nature extremely hydrophobic. Thus, it is difficult to cross the aqueous layer of the skin. Therefore, by making it more water soluble and incorporating it into a water-based formula, we can make it penetrate the skin much faster and more efficiently than a pure CBD oil.
Tiles of plant origin
Ceramides are a class of ingredients that literally hold the cells of the skin barrier. In this way they strengthen the skin barrier and soothe the skin. Restoration and strengthening of the skin barrier is especially important due to the popularity of hard and corrosive active substances. In addition, although most products contain synthetic tiles, in 2022, there will be a shift towards the use of plant alternatives derived from sweet potatoes, wheat and rice.
Fermented ingredients
If you do not know what the fermented ingredients are, consider the following. Fermented ingredients are full of metabolites that are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, polysaccharides and more. These ingredients help heal wounds, reduce inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier. Some popular examples are rose, fig, millet, wheat and soy. At the same time, the recent increase in their use is due to efforts to reduce waste. Thus, not only do they benefit the health of your skin but also the environment!
Probiotics
Probiotics were especially popular in 2021. And not unjustly, given the role they play in the protective microbiome of skin bacteria.
Now, then, the time has come for probiotics to come to the fore, as another source of support for the microbiome. Simply put, prebiotics are food for probiotics. They are the chemical compounds that probiotics need to thrive and consist mainly of vegetable sugars, oils and carbohydrates. For example, oats, ginseng and glucomannan (which are great for acne) are already popular prebiotics in skin care.
Niacinamide
Already popular since 2021, niacinamide is predicted to maintain its position (and our love) in 2022. It is a water-soluble form of vitamin B3 that provides antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory support. In particular, it has been observed to improve wrinkles, texture, skin elasticity and hyper-pigmentation. It also combines well with other active ingredients to brighten, fight acne and offer anti-aging action. In addition, it supports the skin barrier, reduces oiliness, improving the appearance of pores.
Recycled components
Sustainability is on everyone’s mind, and not unjustly so. One of the surest ways to make the beauty industry friendlier is to reduce waste and use recycled ingredients. You can also reduce your environmental impact by choosing reusable products (eg cotton). You can also choose products in biodegradable and recyclable packaging. Finally, buying vegan products or products from companies that collect ingredients with care and respect on the planet can also make a difference.
Bioequivalent components
Simply put, bioequivalent ingredients are synthesized so that they are biologically identical to the molecules already in our skin. Thus, we use ingredients that the body recognizes. Although synthesized in the laboratory, these ingredients work most effectively, as they already speak the language of human skin cells. As expected, these high-tech ingredients can cost quite a bit, but if you are a fan of skincare it can be a worthwhile investment in the new year.
