Abstract
Beauty, the quality that gives pleasure to the senses, is perhaps the desire of every women being on the earth. The word “Beauty” is not only related to women, but men also used cosmetic product. The cosmetic preparations were used for the purpose of worship and sensual enjoyment. The natural content in the herbs does not have any side effects on the human body; instead enrich the body with nutrients and other useful minerals. Herbal cosmetics are comprised of floras like ashwagandha, sandal (chandan), saffron (kesar) and many more that is augmented with healthy nutrient sand all the other necessary components. Many herbal agents used in cosmetics have been selected by a process of ‘trial and error’ and thus are used based on experience rather than experimental investigation. Herbs and spices have been used in maintaining and enhancing human beauty since time immemorial. Indian women have long used herbs such as Sandalwood and Turmeric for skin care; Henna to color the hair, palms and soles; and natural oils to perfume their bodies.
