What does the shungite-related mineral material (pelos) actually do in this cream, and is the texture different from a normal day cream?

The SUNGIT line includes a shungite-related mineral raw material listed as pelos. In this cosmetic formula, mineral-rich components are used to complement the nourishing and softening base rather than to treat or prevent any condition. According to the product information, the effect is a denser, mask-like richness in the cream while it still remains suitable as a daily face cream, so the experience is closer to a comfort-focused emollient cream than a fluid gel moisturiser.

• Shea butter, olive-derived oil and grape seed oil reinforce the lipid layer that limits moisture loss, which is what helps reduce roughness and makes skin feel more supple.
• The xylitylglucoside complex with glycerin attracts water to upper skin layers, so the mineral-rich base is balanced by humectants that help the surface look less drawn.
• Vitamin E and ascorbyl palmitate provide antioxidant action against external stress factors that can make skin look older, but this is a cosmetic effect on appearance, not a medical protection.

Because of that denser feel, people with very reactive skin or those unused to rich textures should introduce it gradually and avoid the eye area unless tolerated. The cream is positioned for skin that feels dry, looks less elastic or loses radiance over time, and may be chosen in seasonal weather changes or when foundation shows texture more than before.
