The beauty industry is not transparent. It can be mysterious to most of us at times.
There are many secrets such as formulation technology, exotic ingredients, and dubious marketing ploys.
Today, we are going to share with you a little secret that will hopefully change your view about all skin care products going forward.
Curious yet?
Here is a hint. It has to do with hot temperatures.
Heat Destroys Active Ingredients
Most consumers are unaware that their favorite products are manufactured under a prolonged heating cycle.
Unfortunately, heat-based manufacturing leads to active ingredients losing much of their potency along the way!
The end result is a final product which is less effective.
Cold-Pressurized Manufacturing vs. Heat for Skincare Products
As mentioned above, the most common approach to formulate and manufacture skincare products requires the use of heat. Heat energy is needed to mix, melt and combine the oil-based and water-based ingredients in the skincare products.
Using heat to effectively mix these ingredients is cheaper and faster. For this reason alone, the vast majority of serum, lotion or cream on the market requires the use of heat in the manufacturing process to melt the water-based and oil-based ingredients.
However, there is a major drawback with this conventional manufacturing approach.
Heat partially or fully destroys active ingredients, rendering the final products less effective.
The analogy is cooking vegetables too long under high heat can destroy all the essential nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants in the vegetables.
The end result is a product that is less stable and less potent.
We choose to take the more difficult path. We don’t use heat.
Instead, we use a patented cold-pressurized manufacturing technology. This technology utilizes a tremendous amount of pressure to emulsify (mix) the water and oil-based ingredients.
By not using heat, the integrity of the ingredients is preserved. The end products are more stable and potent, which translates into a faster and more effective improvement of your skin health and appearance.
Natural Skincare Ingredients are Heat Sensitive
Our patented manufacturing technology opens access to a whole new realm of delicate ingredients in our final skincare products.
Most natural ingredients, especially plant-derived, are delicate.
High temperature destroys the stability and efficacy of natural oils, vitamins, polyphenols or antioxidants in these natural ingredients.
In certain cases, potent natural ingredients are not used, because they are not stable or destroyed in the final formulation.
By shifting to a cold-pressurized technique, the intrinsic nutrients in these natural ingredients are preserved. Now we can really make these natural ingredients shine and deliver their full benefits.
Additional Benefit
Aside from protecting the integrity of the ingredients, our patented technology converts particles to be smaller, which enhances the absorption of nutrients into the skin.
At Dr. Wang Herbal Skincare, we view that as an opportunity to develop skincare products which are effective and natural. We are proud to be one of the few skincare companies to avoid using heat when making our Radiance Facial Oil and Nourishing Youth Serum.
Why Are Other Companies Still Using Heat?
So we don’t use heat as we feel this creates a superior product. This begs the question: Why don’t all skincare companies use the same no heat-based manufacturing? The short answer is because it is costly and technically more difficult.
Our cold-pressurized manufacturing technique utilizes patented technology and needs highly specialized equipment and instruments. In addition, skilled and knowledgeable staff are needed in the formulation and manufacturing process. This patented process produces superior end products, but it is also a more expensive process.
How to Choose the Right Beauty Products for You
To this point, we have identified a number of reasons why cold-pressurized skincare products are preferable to heated products. However, none of these distinctions exist in a vacuum. Here are some considerations to keep in mind when selecting your next beauty product:
- Cold-pressurized is superior to heated: Just in case you missed it in the previous sections.
- Consider the source: The beauty and skincare market is flooded with products. Choose a manufacturer backed by scientific research performed by qualified skincare professionals.
- Read reviews: Beware of the difference between paid endorsements vs. real feedback from actual customers. Read both the good and bad reviews.
- Understand what ingredients are being used: We are proud to display our list of high quality, hand-selected ingredients. Also, understand how the ingredients are delivered or extracted from the source.
- Know your skin and what it needs: There is no such thing as a miracle skin cure. Different products work for different folks. Understanding whether you have dry skin, oily skin, etc. will go a long way towards choosing the best possible beauty product(s).
