Care of the face and the body: with the fact, what a fluid?

The characteristics of a fluid are very simple: marvelously light, and for as much very rich and very effective. Outside, the fluid resembles a emulsion-cream. But it is rather an hybrid, between freezing and the cream.
You wish more? A gel has a formidable hydrating action but does not contain however a greasy substance, such oils and waxes. The fluids contain also a certain proportion of lipophilic active agents (component fats). Provided that raw materials of great quality are used, a fluid is made of a “base” light but very active to which other active agents can be built-in making it possible to obtain very precise effects. As the following examples show it, the manufacturers of cosmetics stress points very different with regard to the choice from their ingredients.
