19.3 From Past to Future
A modern development of cosmetics and cosmeceuticals industry is the natural
beauty products (Atanasov et al. 2015). Since ancient times, extracts from various
parts of aromatic and medicinal plants are introduced in cosmetics and cosmeceutical products (Barbulova et al. 2015; Kapoor 2005). Around early 1900s,
naturally a derived product adequately increases in cosmetics and cosmeceuticals
industry (Jones 2011; Kapoor 2005). Currently, organic substances or products are
more on demand throughout the world as the utilizing of natural products at low
risk of undesirable effects (Carola et al. 2012).
19.4 Source of Natural Products
Natural products are generally acquired from aromatic and medicinal plants, mixture of volatile and nonvolatile chemical constituents with strong odor (Bakkali
et al. 2008). Natural products are considered as one of the most control plant
products in agriculture, as they exhibit antiviral, antibacterial, anti-cancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic, insect repellent, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and cosmetic
properties (Reddy 2019; Said et al. 2016; Swamy et al. 2016). For example, from
willow tree bark, Digitalis lanata flowers and opium medicinal products derived as
aspirin, digoxin, and morphine, respectively, and also extracted from T. indica and
S. alata areal parts and seeds contains polyphenols, flavonoids, and hemicellulose
xyloglucan that were used for skin protection from sun radiation. Leaf extracts from
T. serrulata (Vahl) have been used for treatment for hair growth and hair loss
(Freitas et al. 2015). Essential oils extracted from L. aestuans are used as facial
toners, lotions, lip balms, ointments, creams, scrubs, massage oils, masks, and
shampoos for antidandruff and also used for treatment for eczema, acne, chicken
fox, insect bites and scarring from burns (Reddy 2019). M. olefira leaf and seed oil
extracts contain considerable amount of b-carotenes, vitamins A, C, & E, and
polyphenols using anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities also have been used
for body oils, scrubs, lotions, balms, creams, hair care, moistures sun protection,
and perfumes (General Bureau of statistics 2014). Some of these plants were used
for traditional use because monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and triterpenoids and
phenolic compounds are present. For example, P. amboinics consist of mono, di,
and sesquiterpenes which are used for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, skin cleansers, anti-wrinkle, anti-skin cleansers, anti-aging night creams, and
cosmetics also used for itchy skin and insect bite (Freitas et al. 2015; Kleynhans
et al. 2017). A. indica L. oils extracted from fruits and seeds are used for preparing
soaps, creams, balms, shampoos, nail polishes and toothpastes (Mans et al. 2017;
Nagarjuna et al. 2017). These essential oils could be used as perfumes, flavoring
agents, fragrances for different cosmetics and cosmeceuticals (Swamy et al. 2016).
