Expensive: experts have named the 5 most expensive ingredients in cosmetics

Sometimes the cost of a seemingly ordinary cream or powder is shocking. We often justify the cost of a luxury brand of cosmetics by accusing manufacturers and brand owners of being greedy. However, if you look closely at the composition of cosmetics, you can find many interesting things that will certainly be able to explain why this powder or cream is so expensive.

Cosmetic ingredients - this is exactly what initially forms the cost of cosmetics. Therefore, when you come across expensive care or decorative products, ask if they contain 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. At first glance, it seems insane.

Upon closer examination of the essence of the issue, it quickly becomes clear that we are talking about the proteins of the precious Koishimaru silk. Previously, only members of the imperial families of Japan could afford it. Today no one can afford it due to the severe deficit of Koishimaru.

Unfortunately, none of those individual customers who were able to buy the product did not say whether the cream really has such a rejuvenating effect. Either the result stunned and made me speechless, or I didn’t satisfy, but I’m ashamed to admit - they’ll throw slippers.

But recently, another type of cream made from rare silk has appeared in this line. And its price is no less.

Platinum

A face cream with real platinum in its composition, in comparison with a "silk cosmetic masterpiece", looks like a real "rogue" - its cost is only 1,000 dollars per jar.Cellular Cream Platinum Rare from the La Prairie brand is really platinum based - the most expensive precious metal on the planet.

The creators of the cream assure that a 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 so successfully applied platinum in cosmetology, made another cosmetic product - based on natural black caviar. La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe worth 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. Precisely because of the presence of these fatty acids, even older fish factory workers usually retain youthful and beautiful skin on the hands.

Gold

The idea to use gold in cosmetics belongs to Queen Cleopatra. She did not skimp and put on a whole mask of gold on her face at night. Chinese ladies from imperial families were given face 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 how to do colloidal gold - a suspension of small particles of precious metal. It is he who is sometimes included in the composition of expensive luxury cosmetics.

Truffles

An expensive delicacy, the cost of which exceeds 9 thousand euros per kilogram, has interesting properties. The fungus can moisturize and rejuvenate the skin, saturating it with a lot of nutrients. Whether it is true or not, there are creams and make-up bases, which are based on truffles. Needless to say, such cosmetics are very, very expensive.
