COSMETICS
Cosmetics are substances or products used to enhance or alter the appearance of
the face or fragrance and texture of the body. Many cosmetics are designed for
use of applying to the face and body. They are generally mixtures of chemical
compounds; some being derived from natural sources (such as coconut oil), and
many synthetic or artificial.[1] Cosmetics that are applied to the face to enhance
ones appearance are often called make-up or makeup. Common make-up items
include: lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, foundation, blush, and bronzer. Other
common cosmetics include skin cleansers, body lotions, shampoo and
conditioner, hairstyling products (gel, hair spray, etc.), perfume and cologne.

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.
