Cosmetics are products designed to cleanse, protect, and change the appearance of external parts of our bodies.
 
The key ingredients present in most cosmetics include water, emulsifiers, preservatives, thickeners, moisturizers, colors, and fragrances. There are thousands of different cosmetic products on the market.
 
Ingredients can be naturally occurring or artificial, but any potential impact on our health depends mainly on the chemical compounds that compose them. Identifying key ingredients to treat skin conditions can make both professional treatments and home care products more effective, targeting results.
