The Science Behind Real Relief
Every Cosmec Healing salve is formulated with purpose. Each ingredient is intentionally selected for its therapeutic value, skin compatibility, and ability to support deeper absorption.
Our formulas combine centuries-old natural remedies with modern scientific insight to create advanced transdermal delivery systems designed to support real relief at the source.
What Makes Our Salves Transdermal?
Transdermal products are designed to deliver active ingredients through the skin and into deeper tissue layers, allowing for enhanced bioavailability and sustained effects. Unlike standard topicals that work only on the surface, transdermal formulations are crafted to penetrate the skin barrier using specialized carrier oils and natural permeability enhancers.
This allows active compounds to reach targeted areas more effectively.
