Introduction

                 Products used for the purposes of cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness or alternating the appearance of body" is the definition of cosmetics. Both synthetic and natural chemicals can be used to make body scrubs. Regular usage of scrubs results in smooth, velvety, glowing, and healthy skin because new skin cells are exposed and dead skin cells are eliminated. Various tests are used to evaluate the prepared herbal formulation, including appearance, washability, PH, irritation, and spread ability. As a result, the body scrub's formulated mixture worked well for maintaining clear, healthy skin.

Herbal exfoliating scrubs counteract environmental damage and lessen age-related changes by removing supercial dead cells and promoting the growth of cells in the sub-epidermal layer. Using a scrub or herbal products with antiaging, vitamin, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties will technically clean the surface and help eliminate these dead skin cells while also cleansing the skin deeply and making it shine. Utilizing the facial scrub was easy: select a standard scrub that is appropriate for your skin type, massage it in for a minute on hydrated skin, and then rinse it off. For every type of skin, the scrub is suitable. Depending on the kind of skin, only these essential oils will change when used as a scrub ingredient. There are three different varieties of skin: dry, oily, and sensitive.

Commercially available cosmetics are designed to enhance the look of skin through the processes of washing, beautifying, and attractiveness-promoting. Various plants have been utilized for management, cleansing, and aesthetic purposes since ancient times. The majority of the body, or the skin on the face, is a good indicator of someone's health. It is composed of substances including lipids, carbohydrates, and amino acids, among others. In order to maintain clear, shiny, and healthy skin, a balanced diet is necessary. The herbal paste known as "Mukha Lepa" in Ayurveda is applied as a face treatment. This paste made of herbs is applied to the face to cure pigmentation, scars, markings, and acne.

The term "Herbal Cosmetics" may be used to describe products that are manufactured with several approved cosmetic substances to provide a base upon which one or more herbal ingredients are added to provide defined, or "corrective," preferences. Alpha-hydroxy acid, retinoic acid, ascorbic acid, and coenzyme are examples of over-the-counter skin care products that claim therapeutic benefits. Beginning in the 1990s, cosmetic manufacturers used the word "cosmeceuticals" to characterize these products. These active compounds have multiple functions, including improving skin elasticity, delaying the aging process of the skin by reducing wrinkles, providing protection against UV radiation through antioxidant properties, and preventing collagen degradation.
