    Mejor cita de A Ciência Invisível no seu Banheiro: Umectantes e Emolientes

    “

    O umectante é o cara que fica ali na barreira, segurando a água pela gola da camisa para impedir que ela evapore, transformando o que seria uma queratina 'crocante' em pele flexível.

    Preguntas frecuentes

    Embora pareçam similares, eles possuem funções moleculares distintas nos cuidados com a pele. O emoliente, derivado do latim emollire, atua lubrificando e amolecendo as células mortas da pele, funcionando como uma espécie de graxa para as escamas cutâneas. Já o umectante age como um caçador de água, possuindo uma afinidade química que retém a umidade e impede a evaporação para o ambiente externo.

    Esse aspecto ocorre devido ao acúmulo de células mortas que perdem a água responsável por sua flexibilidade. Segundo Lena, a queratina da nossa pele acaba ficando com uma textura crocante quando há falta de umidade. Esse processo de ressecamento é acelerado pela evaporação constante de água do nosso corpo, que mantém uma temperatura interna de aproximadamente 37,5°C, exigindo o uso correto de produtos hidratantes.

    Os umectantes desempenham um papel fundamental na química cosmética ao formar pontes de hidrogênio com as moléculas de água. Eles não apenas molham a superfície, mas seguram a água que já está presente na pele ou que vem do próprio produto cosmético. Essa forte afinidade química cria uma barreira que evita que a umidade essencial seja perdida para o ambiente, mantendo a pele saudável e flexível.
