Abstract

Natural and environmentally friendly, herbal cosmetics made from organic plant-based ingredients are becoming more and more popular in the skincare sector. These products meet the growing demand from consumers for safer, more environmentally friendly personal care products by substituting plant extracts for synthetic ingredients. Herbal cosmetics target a range of skin issues, including dryness, aging, and acne, by utilizing the medicinal qualities of plants including chamomile, green tea, and aloe vera. The bioactive ingredients in wheat such as its antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and moisturizing elements, have significant advantages for skin care. Growing consumer awareness of possible risks associated with synthetic products and a preference for ecologically friendly methods are driving the trend towards natural alternatives, which is shown in the growing popularity of herbal cosmetics. To fully utilize herbal constituents and overcome integration issues in contemporary cosmetic formulations, continued research and development will be essential as the industry develops.
