Expensive pleasure: experts named the 5 most expensive components in cosmetics

Sometimes the cost of a seemingly ordinary cream or powder is shocking. Often we justify the cost of a luxury brand of cosmetics, blaming manufacturers and brand owners for greed. However, if you look closely at the composition of cosmetics, you can find a lot of interesting things that will certainly be able to explain why this powder or cream is so expensive.

Cosmetic Ingredients - this is exactly what forms the initial cost of cosmetics. And therefore, having met expensive care or decorative products, ask if they have the 5 most expensive components.

Silk Proteins

Yes, silk has a protein component, and just one small jar of face cream CLÉ DE PEAU BEAUTÉ LA CRÈME by Shiseido, which was released for beautiful ladies six years ago, costs 13.5 thousand dollars. It turns out that a gram of cream is 5 times more expensive than a gram of gold. Only at first glance does it seem insane.

In a detailed study of the essence of the matter, it quickly becomes clear that we are talking about proteins of Koishimaru precious silk. Previously, only members of the imperial families of Japan could afford it. Today, no one can afford it due to Koishimaru’s tight deficit.

Unfortunately, none of those single customers who were able to buy the product did not say whether the cream really has such a rejuvenating effect. Either the result was overwhelmed and deprived of the gift of speech, or it was not satisfied, but it is a shame to admit it - they throw it with slippers.

But recently in this line there is another type of cream from rare silk. And its price is no less.

Platinum

A face cream with real platinum, as compared to a “silk cosmetic masterpiece”, looks like a real “rogue” - its cost is just 1 thousand dollars per jar.Cellular Cream Platinum Rare from La Prairie really has platinum at its core - the most expensive of the precious metals on the planet.

The creators of the cream claim that the course of procedures with platinum will help a woman get rid of not only wrinkles, but also age spots.

Black caviar

The same manufacturer, who used platinum so successfully in cosmetology, made another cosmetic product - based on natural black caviar. La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe costs from more than 33 thousand rubles per jar. The brand’s experts claim that they have studied the properties of black caviar in cosmetology for three decades, and guarantee that the effect will be simply stunning due to the presence of Omega-3. It is because of the presence of these fatty acids that even older female fish workers usually retain young and beautiful skin on their hands.

Gold

The idea to use gold in cosmetics belongs to Queen Cleopatra. She did not skimp and applied a whole mask of gold to her face at night. Chinese ladies from imperial families did facial massage with gold rollers. Modern cosmetics manufacturers agree with them - small particles of gold have incredible anti-inflammatory effect. Not so long ago, scientists learned to do colloidal gold - a suspension of small particles of a precious metal. It is he who is sometimes included in the composition of expensive luxury cosmetics.

Truffles

An expensive delicacy worth more than 9 thousand euros per kilogramhas curious properties. The fungus can moisturize and rejuvenate the skin, saturating it with a mass of beneficial substances. Like it or not, but there are creams and bases for makeup, the basis of which are truffles. Needless to say, such cosmetics are very, very expensive.
