Herb Extracts for
Cosmetic/Topical Application
Herbs and spices have been used in maintaining and enhancing human
beauty since time immemorial. Indian women have long used herbs such
as Sandalwood and Turmeric for skin care; Henna to color the hair,
palms and soles; and natural oils to perfume their bodies. Not too
long ago, elaborate herbal beauty treatments were carried out in the
royal palaces of India to heighten sensual appeal and maintain
general hygiene. Rightly said, beauty is very much an inner thing.
First beautify from within.
Here we present a list of our main Cosmetic Herbal Extracts only. If
