Hey guys! Today I want to introduce you to Cosnature – another brand of natural cosmetics, known for a long time from drugstores, which, like Alterra and Alverde, comes from Germany and has very good ingredients.
So everyone who likes these popular products from Rossmann or Drugstore DM will surely be satisfied with the effects of these cosmetics. Contrary to these companies, however, Cosnature has more delicate compositions: it does not preserve everything that flies with alcohol, which is important especially in products for capillary skin and damaged hair – decay alcohol and isopropyl alcohol make them terribly dry, so I try to avoid them. So I am very happy to be able to test some of the Cosnature products. These will be: face cleansing foam, serum and moisturizing conditioner. If you are interested in how these cosmetics worked for me, please read the rest of this post.

First impressions:
I have seen Cosnature wetsuit in drugstores for a long time and I was always tempted to test this fluffy and gentle method of facial cleansing. Unfortunately, I always had a pile of other gels and washers to finish … So now, by the way, I did not hesitate for a moment, especially in the heat, because I thought that such a citrus foam would be a wonderful refreshment for my tired skin and ensure freshness throughout the morning. I was right, the foam is wonderful! The pump comes out wonderfully fragrant – not too sweet, not too strongly – fluffy foam that perfectly cleanses the face and refreshes. At the same time, it does not dry out the skin as much as typical gels. I will definitely test it further and its full review will be here soon. I love! And I recommend it for hot summer.

First impressions:
First of all, Cosnature conditioner has a great, natural fragrance. It reminds me of some Alterra or Babydream cosmetic for mothers – rose oils were also used there … Really nice, strong, but not too much, which you can feel on your hair for a long time.
The conditioner has the consistency of a butter, it is more a mask than a conditioner for everyday use, and that’s how I used it when washing my dry hair moisturizing. It is very efficient, because thick, two small portions were enough for my waist-long hair.
As for the composition, as with the descriptions of the producers … Cosnature conditioner is based on glycerin and oils, these are the main moisturizing ingredients. pay attention to it, because not all hair likes glycerin – it can frizz. And of course, we always close such moisturizing care with emollients, otherwise we guarantee hay on the head 🙂 The conditioner is not completely humectant, it contains hydrolysed proteins at the end. Their number is not too large to reprocess the hair, but this also needs to be taken into account.
I also like the addition of lecithin, which I often add myself from capsules to hair masks – it affects them very well. To sum up, the conditioner has a very nice effect and certainly has a chance to help damaged and dry hair. However, I would not recommend using it as a two-minute daily conditioner, as suggested by the manufacturer, and as a nutritional mask, once or twice a week.
Cosnature, a multivitamin anti-wrinkle serum with sea buckthorn
A highly concentrated anti-wrinkle vitamin cocktail rich in natural nutrients: jojoba, shea butter, coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E. It supports the natural functions of the skin, regenerates it and leaves a delicate protective layer.
Sea buckthorn oil obtained from certified organic crops strengthens skin cells, renews them, improving skin elasticity, which is noticeably smoother and wrinkles are reduced. The natural antioxidant vitamin E protects the skin against free radicals.
The serum also contains a complex with bio-hyaluronic acid, which is a sensational ingredient with excellent moisturizing properties, because it can concentrate moisture like a sponge. It smoothes the skin and supports its protective properties. In addition, acid regulates the flow of substances between cells and has antioxidant capacity.
The action of hyaluronic acid: moisturizing the stratum corneum, moisturizing the deep layers of the skin, reducing wrinkles, lifting effect, increasing skin firmness, increasing skin elasticity, smoothing and softening the skin. The serum is perfectly absorbed and leaves a pleasant natural scent on the skin.
Key Ingredients:
- Sea buckthorn oil – has antioxidant properties, it wonderfully regenerates tired, dry skin. Effectively soothes irritations, e.g. caused by sunbathing. An important feature of sea buckthorn oil, which results from the high content of carotenoids, vitamin E and polyphenols, is its ability to partially absorb UVB sun radiation and high antioxidant activity against free radicals, which makes it a natural sunscreen. Sea buckthorn oil is therefore a valuable ingredient in cosmetics that strengthen natural anti-UV protection. Thanks to its intense color, it adds a healthy color to the skin and gives it a golden shade.
- coenzyme Q10 – rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (especially linoleic acid) and proteins. It helps to support the cell structure and also reduces the occurrence of deep wrinkles and, when used regularly, increases skin hydration.
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol) – a substance with antioxidant (antioxidant) properties, inhibits skin aging processes caused by e.g. UV radiation or cigarette smoke. It is an excellent factor inhibiting radical lipid oxidation in the epidermis and dermis. Vitamin E has the ability to integrate into the lipid structures of cell membranes, thus strengthening the epidermal barrier. Strengthening the epidermal barrier not only hinders the penetration of foreign substances and prevents irritation, but also inhibits TEWL (transepidermal water loss), which improves skin hydration. It prevents inflammation, strengthens the walls of blood vessels and improves blood circulation in the skin.
- Jojoba oil is one of the most valuable substances in cosmetics. It nourishes, softens, moisturizes and nourishes the skin. The skin becomes smooth and pleasant to the touch after the first use. Its chemical structure is similar to sebum (sebum secreted by human skin), thanks to which it is perfectly absorbed by the skin. It strengthens the intercellular cement layer, which in turn prevents the skin from drying out.
Destiny
Suitable for all skin types.
Use
In the morning and evening, apply the serum to thoroughly cleansed skin of the face, neck and décolleté. Gently pat with your fingertips until completely absorbed.
Capacity: 30 ml

First impressions:
Unfortunately, we already have alcohol here, and it is in second place, so it’s not too good. Especially for sensitive and couperose skin. Not every skin likes glycerin, third in the composition of the Cosnature serum, which can clog combination and oily skin. Of course, the serum also contains a number of good ingredients – it is a real vitamin bomb for the skin, which moisturizes, firms and nourishes dry skin in summer – however, you must pay attention to those that, although natural, may mix up a little in your care. Although it’s best to just check it out for yourself – each skin has different needs.
Unfortunately, my complexion is dry in this heat, although I have capillaries on my cheeks and mixed in the T zone – bad combo … However, the serum did not hurt me, I have the impression that so far it moisturizes and nourishes well, and the long-term effects on aging still need to be tested. I also have no irritation from this alcohol, maybe the oils moderate its effect?
The Cosnature serum has a convenient and hygienic pump, the fragrance is light, sweet and herbal, not too strong.
I like the consistency too, it is thick, creamy, it does not flow through the fingers, it is easy to apply and it is well absorbed.
You can see sea buckthorn – the color of orange oil, but it does not stain the skin. It’s been working well for me so far, so I’ll keep testing it.
