Inner and outer beauty
Skin structure and function
Our outer appearance reflects our inner health and sense of wellbeing.
Beautiful skin, hair and nails make up the image of ourselves that we show
to the world. We pursue beauty care based on individual differences in skin
types and conditions, but common to all is the need for supportive nutrition.
The body’s barrier function is served by our skin and nails, keeping us
protected from external stresses and influences. The skin contains three
main layers: the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. All layers are affected
by aging, which can result in a dry, dull appearance, thinning of the skin,
pigmented areas and a wrinkled texture. Healthy skin is free of blemishes,
well-hydrated, soft and shows its age gracefully.
The market for beauty
Today’s consumers are more health and image conscious than ever
before. The appearance of the skin is important to women’s idea of
beauty, with 68% of women internationally finding this a key attribute.1
Men, too, have become increasingly aware of the importance of their
skin’s appearance. The beauty industry is constantly on the look-out for
innovative new products. Novel beauty supplements and beauty foods
offer a unique chance for product differentiation.
Awareness of the link between nutrition and beauty has never been so
high. The recent development of the beauty food and supplement markets
finds its origin in consumers’ growing recognition of the importance of
good diet for healthy skin, hair and nails. Market analysts already identify
skin, hair and nail health as one of the major trends of the dietary
supplement sector.2 Nutribeauty products targeted at healthy aging fill a
need for consumers to protect the health of their skin.3 Over the past
decade, cosmeceuticals have seen significant growth, which is expected
to continue steadily in future as the segment becomes mainstream.4,5
True beauty comes from the inside
Vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, antioxidants and nutritional lipids play
important roles in maintaining healthy and good looking skin. The normal
metabolism and regeneration of the skin require energy and nutrients
throughout life. Looking after the skin is important to maintain a strong
barrier between the body and the environment. The right mix of nutrients
help keep the skin hydrated, protect it from the ravages of time, and offer
protection from the aging effects of the sun. Research shows the positive
impact dietary antioxidants and other nutrients have on the way our skin
looks, feels and ages.
Skin fundamentals
Taking care of our skin is important for our overall health, so it’s only
natural that the skin needs certain vitamins and minerals to support its
structure, energy supply and repair process.4
Epidermis – the thin outer layer of the skin is a protective physical
barrier and contains the skin pigment, melanin. The epidermis
renews itself every month or so.
Dermis – the thicker inner layer below the epidermis is made up of
collagen, which gives skin its strength, and elastin, giving flexibility.
Secretions from glands in the dermis lubricate the skin.
Hypodermis – the deepest skin layer made up of subcutaneous fat,
which provides insulation.
