NATURAL PIGMENTS IN COSMETICS PAST TO PRESENT
Cosmetics are substances used to enhance the beauty of the human being. Natural pigments are mostly derived from plant sources, which are degradable and safe. At present, commercially available cosmetics causes side effects due to prolonged use. These commercially used cosmetics are made with the synthetic colorants, but the current trend matches towards healthy natural ingredients incorporated within them. Further the locally available branded products are tested clinically to avoid a harmful side effect in future. The awareness among the rural women has increased with regards to the usage of cosmetics.
