Abstract
Human beings have been using herbs for different purposes like food, medicine, and beautification. The word cosmetic was derived from the Greek word “kosm tikos” meaning having the power, arrangement, and skill in decorating. The origin of cosmetics forms a continuous narrative throughout the history of man as they developed. The man in prehistoric times 3000 BC used colours for decoration to attract the animals that he wished to hunt and also the man survived an attack from the enemy by colouring his skin and adorning his body for protection to provoke fear in an enemy (whether man or animal). The origin of cosmetics was associated with hunting, fighting, religion and superstition and later associated with medicine Herbal Cosmetics, here in after referred to as Products, are formulated, using various permissible cosmetic ingredients to form the base in which one or more herbal ingredients are used to provide defined cosmetic benefits only, shall be called as “Herbal Cosmetics”.
