 Herbal remedies have a long history of
use for gum and tooth problems. in many
traditional cultures, there are no plastic-
bristle brushes, rather, the use of herbal
‘CHEWING STICKS’ are common.
 Chewing sticks are usually taken from
plant, shrubs or trees with high anti-
microbial activity. The ends of selected
sticks are shredded and they are used to
massage the gums and ‘floss’ the teeth.

heal itself in gum and tooth disorder.

convenient to use.
TOOTHPASTE :

 COSMOS
 This Standard has been developed at the
European and international level by:
 BDIH (Germany),
 COSMEBIO & ECOCERT (France),
 ICEA (Italy) & SOIL ASSOCIATION (UK)
are the founders of the COSMOS-standard
AISBL (an international non-profit
association registered in Belgium) in
order to define common requirements and
definitions for organic and/or natural
cosmetics.
 COSMOS OBJECTIVE
 promoting the use of products from
organic agriculture, and respecting
biodiversity
 using natural resources responsibly,
and respecting the environment
 using processing and manufacturing
that are clean and respectful of
human health and the environment
 integrating and developing the
concept of "Green Chemistry".
 COSMOS SCOPE
 This Standard applies to cosmetic products and
raw materials intended to be used in cosmetic
products in two scopes:
 Scope 1: Certification of organic or natural
cosmetic products, raw materials with organic
content, base formulas;
 Scope 2: Approval of non-organic raw materials that
can be used in certified products according to
scope 1. Approval of non-organic raw materials is
not a scope of certification (as it is not certification)
but the relevant criteria in the Standard apply in this
approval process.
 The users of this Standard are manufacturers,
handlers and brand owners of organic or natural
cosmetic products and ingredients.

CHALLENGES IN FORMULATING
HERBAL COSMETICS
 A key challenge is to objectively
assess conflicting toxicological,
epidemiological and other data and the
verification of herbal materials used.
 Herbal ingredients needs special care
and precautions during the complete
phase of extraction process. Proper
drying conditions should be adhered.
Improper drying may lead to unintentional
adulteration
 Eg: if digitalis leaves are dried above
65°C decomposition of glycosides by
enzymatic hydrolysis
 No specific standardization: there is
no single standard that will apply to
herbal cosmetic formulations, so no
any good way to decide whether
ingredient can be used or not, to
which extent and what standards.
 Few ingredients: Only few
ingredients of natural origin can
be used as preparation is nature
based cosmetics. No synthetic
surfactant, few preservatives can
only be used. So there is uncertainty
in best product preparation.
 Stability problem: One of the main
problem faced in formulating herbal
cosmetics preparation is the stability
of herbal component both prior and
after formulation as they are to be
degrade easily by many
physiochemical process.

Deterioration happens especially

during
storage, leading to the loss of the
ingredients, production of metabolites
with no activity and, in extreme cases
production of toxic metabolites.

 Physical factors such as air (oxygen),

humidity, light,& temperature can bring
about deterioration directly/ indirectly.
 The problem of formulating with less
ingredients may lead to the formation
of product that may not work as
well with synthetic chemical based
competition.
 Consumers shall do some compromises
for the fact that they are using natural
based products but do not want to give up
functionality for the sake of naturalness
or sustainability as this is the beauty
business.
 Safety and efficacy assessment has to
be developed on each batch of
manufacturing cycle thus the task
become more tedious and time
consuming.
 From the manufacturer points of view,
raw materials in bulk quantity and
quality is hard to obtain which leads
breakage in continuous production cycle
of herbal cosmetics.

 Poor quality of raw materials: Herbal

cosmetics require the careful cultivation
of plants and herbs in their natural
environment.
