Cosmetics:
 comprise a range of products that are used to care for the face and body or to enhance or change 
the appearance of the face or body. The products include skin care, personal care, cosmetics 
and fragrance.

There is a vast array of cosmetics available. Each sub-category of cosmetics has its own 
characteristics, however the products are generally formulated using a mixture of chemical 
compounds derived from natural sources or created synthetically.[1]


Cosmetics have at least one of three purposes. They can be used to cleanse, such as shampoo, body
 wash and face cleanser do. They can be used to replenish and protect the skin, like toners, serums
, moisturisers, and balms. Or they can be used to enhance one's appearance, such as makeup. Often
 enhancing appearance can occur as a result of cleansing or healing the body.
People more commonly think of cosmetics as makeup, and these products
 include lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, foundation, blush, highlighter, bronzer, primer and several 
others. However, the legal definition of cosmetics in most countries is broader.
