ADVERSE EFFECTS OFHERBAL
COSMETICS
Various adverse effects may occur in the form of acute
toxicity, percutaneous absorption, skin irritation, eye
irritation, skin sensitization and photosensitization,
subchronic toxicity, mutagenicity/genotoxicity, and
phototoxicity/photoirritation.
Most of herbal remedies can cause allergic reaction and
several can be responsible for photosensitization.
Many cosmetic preparation are made up of more than
one ingredient, in such case it is difficult to identify the
actual ingredient which cause irritation to the skin.

carcinogenic property, some other long term problem

CONCLUSION
NO PHARMACOPEADEFINES ANY SPECIFIC PROCEDURE OR INGREDIENTS TO
BE USED IN ANY OF HERBAL COSMETICS.
I SURVEYED ABOUT HERBAL COSMETICS IN MANY SHOPS, THEY TOLD THAT
THERE IS NO UNIFORMITY IN HERBAL PRODUCTS.
EVEN THERE ARE NO STRINGENT RULES FOR GUIDING OR CONCERNING
HERBAL COSMETICS.
WE CAN ADD ANY OF PLANT MATERIAL AS PER OUR EXPERIENCE AND MAKE
OUR BEST PRODUCT OUT OF IT.
IT IS NOT SO THAT PRODUCTS CONTAINS ONLY HERBAL INGREDIENTS,
VARIOUS SYNTHETIC CHEMICALS ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN IT.
