Neurocosmetics are skincare formulations designed to engage the skin’s nervous system. Unlike traditional cosmetics, they don’t just treat the skin’s surface. They influence how our skin communicates with our brain—using sensory ingredients that target receptors, activate neurotransmitters, and create a holistic skin-mind experience.

The skin isn’t just a barrier—it’s a sensory organ. It contains over 1,000 nerve endings per square inch, which can detect pain, pressure, temperature, and emotion. When stimulated, these nerves signal the brain and affect neurotransmitter release like serotonin, endorphins, or cortisol. Neurocosmetics activate this network to:

• Improve skin barrier function
• Calm inflammation and stress-triggered irritation
• Reduce tension in expression lines
• Boost emotional wellbeing through scent and touch

These three elements work through cutaneous nerve endings and neuromediators (like serotonin or oxytocin) to reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance skin resilience.

• Modulates cortisol and stress hormones in the skin
• Soothes reactive or sensitive skin
• Improves emotional regulation and mood
• Reduces skin-aging inflammation
• Promotes resilience through emotional-sensory rituals
