Cotton: The Fabric of Our Skin Care

Mari Johnson
Cotton is not just for clothing anymore. This staple fabric is one of the hottest high-tech skin care ingredients on the skin care market.

BORBA's "first-of-its-kind" Fiber-Knit Technology found in its creams and moisturizers, literally surrounds skin with nutrient-infused ingredients and cosmeceutical-grade fibers. Each fiber (Borba uses silk and other fibers as well) was selected and specifically formulated to work with your skin's unique chemistry to provide visible skin smoothing and repairing results.

With the use of cotton and other fabric fibers, a natural, web-like protection aids the skin as a delivery system, allowing active ingredients to soak in and improve skin's deepest epidermal layers.

Borba's fibers are hydrolyzed to a very fine powder form, that activates once it is added to the lotions or creams. Once in the skin cream it creates a support structure when applied

Cotton is light, breathable, comfortable and natural - making it the perfect choice to treat skin gently.
Much like silk, cotton produces proteins that are very effective in skin care products because they provide gentle protection against damage. Cotton fibers also allow the skin to breathe and feel comfortable. Cotton fiber consists of nearly pure cellulose, a natural polymer, that gives the cotton fibers (hence the treatment) a high degree of strength, durability, and absorbency. These characteristics help provide a natural shield against damage.

Carita Ideal Douceur Cotton Cream
Carita's "Crème de coton" helps the skin find inner balance. "An innovative extract of cotton cells helps reduce the skin's reactivity by increasing the speed and effectiveness of its self-defense mechanisms." A calming formula soothes redness and discomfort making the skin stronger, less sensitive and smoother.
