ABSTRACT

In this era, cosmetics have become an inherent part of our daily life and cosmetics usage has increased signi’cantly each year (Azeem et al., 2008). There are far more consumers for the beauti-’cation of the human body than for the treatment of illness. However, the continuous use of cosmetics over time may result in various undesirable effects, and recently much attention has been paid by consumers to beauty as well as maintaining health and a youthful appearance. Hence it can be suggested that cosmeceuticals are an excellent alternative novel cosmetics that can contribute to the consumer’s well-being.
