How Do Neuroactive Ingredients Affect the Nervous System?
Neuroactive ingredients found in neurocosmetic products directly influence nervous system responses. The skin is not just a protective barrier—it is a sensitive, active organ that is in constant communication with our brain and nervous system.
When we experience stress, the body triggers inflammatory responses that also affect the skin. Neurocosmetics help reduce these inflammations, promoting skin calmness and improving overall well-being. On a molecular level, these active ingredients can decrease neurogenic inflammation, which helps to alleviate skin irritation and sensitivity. Moreover, they may stimulate the production of "feel-good" hormones in the skin, such as serotonin and dopamine, thereby enhancing psychological well-being.
The effects on the nervous system are therefore twofold: they help reduce stress and anxiety, while also improving the skin’s defense mechanisms and appearance.
