Cosmetics are defined as “items with mild action on the human body for the purpose of cleaning, beautifying, adding to the attractiveness, altering the appearance, or keeping or promoting the skin or hair in good condition” while functional cosmetics, even if falling under the cosmetic definition, are designated as “items fulfilling specific actions like skin whitening, minimizing the appearance of lines in the face and body, protecting from the sun and sun tanning”. Cosmetic products are an important element in human society. The use of cosmetics has implications of health hazards; hence, modern cosmetic technology is in search of naturally-derived cosmetics.
