Some unusual ingredients are currently being used by up and coming cosmetic brands. Products we’re used to seeing on our dinner plates are now making their way into beauty kits, taking on a variety of forms, from oils to skincare creams to shampoos, serums and facial cleansers.Broccoli, for instance, is said to be packed with benefits, including countless cosmetic virtues still little known to many. Broccoli oil would have moisturizing and nourishing properties, both for skin and hair. Dry, damaged or even dull hair will therefore appreciate the ability of broccoli to make it shinier and silkier.
Another product that seems to be good for the scalp is mustard, which has already been applied in hair masks. There are now vegetable oils, or even shampoos, leveraging on the age-old ingredient. But mustard seeds would also have skin benefits.
Essentially offered in the form of oil, the onion - and, in particular, the red onion - is an object of growing interest from the cosmetics industry. As soon as this year, we could start seeing creams, masks and serums formulated with its extracts.
