Rockville, MD, Feb. 13, 2018 -- Substances and materials that can retain moisture play a pivotal role in production of cosmetics. Commonly known as humectants, these substances ensure that ingredients in the cosmetic product penetrate the human skin and effectively serve their purpose. The transepidermal absorption and retention of humectants helps in maintaining the required moisture content in cosmetic products. In the view of growing incidence of skin disorders and changing weather conditions, the demand for humectants is pegged to gain traction in the cosmetics industry. In the near future, humectants are likely to find application in the production of several other consumer goods including tobacco products.
