What are phytohormones, or plant hormones, that you can find in cosmetics? How do they work? Why are they used in cosmetics and how do they affect natural cosmetics? WHAT ARE PHYTOHORMONES? Phytohormones are organic compounds and active substances whose effects can be compared to human hormones. In this respect, they are very similar to female estrogens. Phytohormones take care of the life cycle of plants in the same way that estrogens affect the menstrual cycle. Interestingly, scientists have proven the beneficial effects of phytohormones, which help, among other things, reduce the discomforts of menopause. A rich source of phytohormones is soy, which effectively alleviates the symptoms of menopause. It has been proven in many scientific studies that women who regularly consume soy have reduced the symptoms of menopause five times more than women in North America who do not consume products rich in soy. PHYTOHORMONES - ACTION IN COSMETICS Phytohormones contained in the composition of natural cosmetics affect the functioning of hormonal receptors in the human body. They are used in natural preparations against skin aging, e.g. anti-aging cosmetics. With age, the human body ages, and collagen fibers also weaken after the age of 30. Phytohormones play a very important role in cosmetics. They prevent the aging process of plants, which is why the action of these active ingredients is particularly important for manufacturers of natural cosmetics. Natural cosmetics with phytohormones provide the skin with elasticity, a radiant appearance, smoothness, intensive hydration and nourishment, thanks to which it looks young, attractive and beautiful. NATURAL COSMETICS WITH PHYTOHORMONES Wondering which plants contain the most phytohormones in our cosmetics? These include ingredients such as: aloe, ginkgo biloba, ashwagandha, Korean ginseng, Japanese cherry, pomegranate, wheat germ, papaya, rice, linseed and amla. These also include compounds such as coumarin, which is a component of cinnamon. SOURCES OF PHYTOHORMONES IN ORIENTANA NATURAL COSMETICS In what natural cosmetics can you find phytohormones and how do they affect the skin? Ayurvedic cosmetics offered by Orientana use a wealth of phytohormones. Natural face creams, e.g. with the ingredient ashwagandha, i.e. Withania Somnifera, effectively rejuvenate the skin of the face, nourish it and regenerate it perfectly. Natural creams accelerate the healing process of minor wounds occurring, e.g. after acne. In addition, they protect the skin of the face from water loss, gently mattify it, and easily lighten minor skin discolorations. An invaluable source of phytohormones is also contained in natural cosmetics with ginkgo biloba. A face mask made of natural silk with ginkgo biloba has a moisturizing effect on the skin of the face and eliminates wrinkles. In addition, it reduces all skin discolorations, restores the skin's firmness and smoothness. A sheet mask with ginkgo biloba is an ideal way to relax for all skin types. Allantoin soothes and moisturizes the skin, and hyaluronic acid delays the skin's aging process. On the other hand, licorice root extract (Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate) has an antioxidant effect on the skin and accelerates the regeneration process, thanks to which the skin of your face looks beautiful, healthy and radiant. Natural masks are rich in phytohormones and have a rejuvenating effect on the skin. A sheet mask made of natural silk does not require a lying position, and the delicate scent will provide you with pleasant relaxation regardless of the occasion. The sheet mask nourishes the skin thanks to numerous microelements such as: potassium, calcium, manganese, zinc, copper and phosphorus. The mask is a nutritional bomb thanks to the power of active ingredients, phytohormones and biopeptides, which penetrate deep into the skin of the face and stimulate cells to produce collagen. Biopeptides easily overcome skin barriers, thanks to which the mask will provide an immediate effect. Phytohormones are also found in natural hair cosmetics. Amla is a rich source of these active ingredients, and the Ayurvedic hair tonic containing amla as an active ingredient nourishes and regenerates damaged hair without rinsing and effectively prevents hair loss. It has a nourishing effect on the scalp and stimulates hair follicles to produce new ones. Using this tonic reduces hair greasiness and has antibacterial effects.
