Cosmet ics can help individuals feel more confident about their appearance\, whic h can lead to better self-esteem and emotional well-being\, while the simp le task of having a dedicated beauty routine can deliver stress-reducing b enefits. The act of physically touching or massaging one’s face or scalp during a beauty routine can also release key hormones that help us feel b etter. When it comes to cosmetic formulation ingredients\, it's well kno wn that olfactory molecules can influence brain activity\, promoting emoti ons like relaxation or alertness. However\, the active ingredients and the texture of a cosmetic formulation can also affect the state of the brain and the perception of sensory stimuli. A dual approach harnessing both an emulsification system and an extract of hyacinth bulb to improve different parameters of emotional well-being will be explored and presented.
