Cosmetics are substances that are applied to the human body to improve its odour and look. According to the Food and Drug Administration, cosmetics are "intended to be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, increasing beauty, or altering the appearance without hurting the body's structure or functions. Plants have been used since the start of time and in the future years, the market will be flooded with new goods incorporating natural oils and herbs. Plants were formerly the primary source and foundation of all cosmetics; however, the pharmaceutical sector uses a variety of plants for medications that aren't fit for cosmetic usage. Cosmetics have the following advantages: they are easily absorbed by the skin and hair, they are very effective in small amounts when compared to synthetic cosmetics, plant extracts reduce the bulk of cosmetics and provide appropriate pharmacological effects, they are easy to manufacture and they are low in cost. Cosmetics have the following drawbacks: it is difficult to conceal taste and odour, most herbal treatments are not readily available and the manufacturing procedure is time consuming and complicated. Cocoa butter is widely used as an emollient and cosmetic preparation, as well as a source of natural antioxidants, turmeric powder is also used as a paste to treat skin ulcers and to aid in the healing of extensive skin, aloe gel can be applied as an emollient for burns, sunburn and mild abrasion and for inflammatory skin disorders, but it also reduces acne, spots and pimples and is used for anti-aging treatment. The compound henna one, a brown powder extracted from the leaves, is responsible for the red colour in henna; if the hair is dyed with henna and then treated with a hot decoction of Allium cepa (onion) skin, a coppery colour is obtained; many medicinal and aromatic crops can be used for various purposes as a cosmetic. Natural components are everywhere and growing in popularity and plant extracts are increasingly being used in cosmetic formulations.

Natural ingredients can also be used to care for hair and as hair colourants or dyes. Aromatic herbs and oils have been utilised as incense, fragrances, cosmetics and medicinal and culinary applications for thousands of years. Various new plants, extracts and oils of economic significance may be discovered in the future and many ethanol botanical benefits and claims of many widely used herbs may be verified. New isolation and extraction processes may also be demonstrated to provide higher-quality goods.
