Use of herbal derivatives was known to ancient human civilizations. These were utilized as essential foods, medicines or as even cosmetics. Flower, leaf, fruit, root, bark, inner part of stem, wood, beans, rhizome, endosperm, bulb, seed or even whole plants are used to produce bioactive ingredients. Demands of herbal products as well as cosmetics are increasing day by day due to the immense health hazards of synthetic ingredients that again contribute to environmental degradation. Apart from beautification cosmetic bioactive ingredients act as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial agents. These bioactive ingredients include vitamins, antioxidants, oils, dyes, tannins, alkaloids, carbohydrates, proteins, terpenoids and many more. Most important aspect of herbal cosmetics is that they are devoid of any side effects.
