In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates
cosmetics,[2] defines cosmetics as "intended to be applied to the human body for
cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance
without affecting the body's structure or functions". This broad definition includes
any material intended for use as a component of a cosmetic product. The FDA
specifically excludes pure soap from this category.
