The use of oxygen in cosmetic products is based on the fact that the consumer regards a high concentration of oxygen to be positive as a matter of principle.

Oxygen inhalation belongs in the field of emergency medicine, when a sufficiently high concentration of oxygen in the bloodstream is warranted to supply the somatic cells.
