Cosmetics are formulated from a variety of cosmetic ingredients (single substances or mixtures). Cosmetic ingredients are the raw materials that constitute cosmetics, including skin moisturizers, cleansers, emulsifiers, antioxidants, surfactants, pigments, preservatives, nutritional additives and various other functional types. These ingredients are primarily used in skincare, makeup, hair care, hair styling and dye products, perm products, toothpaste, mouthwash and other cosmetics. They play roles such as shaping, stabilizing, coloring, preserving, regulating pH, providing antioxidant effects, and enhancing fragrance.
