INGREDIENTS OF COSMETICS
• Cosmetics ingredients come from a variety of
sources but, unlike the ingredients of food, are
often not considered by most consumers.
Cosmetics often use vibrant colours that are
derived from some unexpected sources, ranging
from crushed insects to rust. Many new
techniques have allowed manufacturers to
synthesise such colours and the use of animals
(or parts thereof) has been declining for many
years and is now virtually eliminated, due in
large part to the efforts of PETA.
• Cosmetics in a variety of forms date back to early
civilizations, with the need to improve ones personal
appearance being an important factor in attracting a
mate. Over the years the ingredients have changed
dramatically as we discovered how to manufacture our
own scents and cosmetic formulae. The realization of the
dangers of many common ingredients also greatly
impacted the growing industry.
