Cosmetics:
Cosmetics are substances used to enhance the appearance or odor of the
human body. Cosmetics include skin-care creams, lotions, powders, perfumes, lipsticks,
fingernail and toe nail polish, eye and facial
makeup, permanent waves, colored contact
lenses, hair
colors, hair sprays and gels, deodorants, baby products, bath oils, bubble
baths, bath salts, butters
and many other types of products. A subset of cosmetics is called
"make-up," which refers primarily to colored products intended to alter
the user’s appearance. Many manufacturers distinguish between decorative
cosmetics and care cosmetics.
