What are Nutricosmetics?
Nutricosmetics are a fast-growing category of nutraceuticals focused on enhancing beauty from the inside out. Unlike traditional topical cosmetics, these supplements work internally to address skin, hair, and nail health. Available in a variety of forms like pills, gummies, liquids, powders, and tablets, these contain active ingredients like vitamins, minerals, and botanical extracts that support cell growth, hydration, and elasticity.
