Abstract
Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) have always been used by humans as food and healing. Plants have afforded lead molecules not only for the pharmaceutical industry, but also for the cosmetics sector, as consumer trends are driving demand for more natural, effective and safer premium quality cosmetic products to be used in personal care, as well as beauty. Therefore, a shift from basic to more advanced products is observed in product profiles in green theme market for natural cosmetics. Although there is no legal category called “cosmeceuticals”, the term has found application to designate the products at the borderline between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Thus, it should be emphasized that cosmeceuticals containing either natural or synthetic agents with drug-like benefits are quite popular now, all over the world. Since Turkish flora is very rich considering number of plant taxa over 12.000, it constitutes a great biodiversity as a natural source for this kind of research. Taking this potential into consideration a lot of plant species from Türkiye have been tested for their potential to be applied in cosmetics particularly towards the enzymes elastase, collagenase, and tyrosinase. Despite of a huge number of cosmetics-related studies on an enormous number of plant species throughout the world, the efficacy of Turkish MAPS in cosmetic research is presented in this chapter. Several findings are cited from the Authors’ cosmetic-relevant research.
