Herbal cosmetics refer to products formulated using plant-based or crude herbal ingredients, primarily for their aromatic and therapeutic properties in cosmetic applications. In recent years, the growing consumer demand for herbal products has significantly expanded opportunities within the cosmeceutical market. Historically, cosmetic formulations were often prepared at home using natural ingredients such as aromatic herbs, spices, resins, dyes, oils, fats, and locally available perfumes. Today, herbal or natural cosmetics—hereafter referred to as "products"—are developed by incorporating one or more beneficial herbal components into a cosmetic base. These products are designed to deliver specific cosmetic benefits through natural means, without relying on synthetic ingredients.Various herbal additives used in these formulations include bleaching agents, fixed oils, essential oils, waxes, antioxidants, perfuming agents, herbal colorants, and plant-derived substances such as leaves, gums, and mucilage. These natural preparations are increasingly favored for their ability to avoid synthetic chemicals while enhancing the duration of action and improving user compliance.
