 INTRODUCTION
• Cosmetics arise from a Greek word kosmeticos which means adorn.
• If any material used for beautification or improvement of appearance
is known as cosmetics.
• In the last 3-4 decades the use of cosmetics has increased in
among in females and males The cosmetics are external
preparation are meant to be applied to external parts of the body .
• In other words they may be applied to skin, hair and nails for the
purpose of covering colouring, softening, cleansing , nourishing ,and
protection.

 SKIN
• Skin is the external barrier of the body,
both physical and immunological
• skin is the largest organ of the body, it
constitutes about 16% of body weight
• its total surface area is about 1.2-2.2 m2
• function:
protection, sensory reception, excretion
and thermoregulation

SKIN STRUCTURE

6
 SKIN PHYSIOLOGY
The skin is the outer most layer of the body. It is
constituted of 2 layers :
• Epidermis:
Stratum corneum : It consist of epidermal cells lipophilic
nature The membrane provides about 10 -15 layers of
flattened keratinized dead cells It is 10 um when it is dry.
But It can take up moisture up to 15 -20 % When
occlusive dressing / cream applied over the skin prevent
the evaporation of water It plays a role in controlling the
percutaneous absorption of chemical substance

7
• Stratum lucidum: It is thin translucent layer .
• Stratum granulosum : It is consist of keratin
protein.
• Stratum spinosum : It consist of flattened
polygonal cells.
• Stratum germinativum : It consist of
melanocytes
• Dermis:
Dermis /corium It consist of dense network of
structural protein fibres .It is about 0.2-0.3mm
thickness It contains blood vessels,lymphatic
vessels, nerve ending

8
• Sebaceous gland
Oil is produced in the sebaceous gland , this production is
stimulated by hormones. Oil flows into the hair follicle then onto the
skin surface

Skin Functions
• Epidermis barrier
– Waterproofs
– Protect from UV
• Dermis
– Sweat glands
– Blood vessels
– Nerve endings
9
Some common disorders of skin
• Hyper pigmentation: This disorder due to abnormal
pigmentation or increased local synthesis of melanin in
the epidermis . This can be further stimulated by
exposure to UV radiation.
• Hypopigmentation: This disorder due to less
pigmentation of melanin . which is called as vitiligo.
Acne( pimples)& prickly heat (miliaria) Malfunction of
sebaceous gland and sweat gland Skin scaling is caused
by dandruff and psoriasis

10
• Psoriasis: It is formation of scaly red
patches particularly on the extensor surface
of the body.
• Dandruff : Flaking of s.corneum and mostly
occurs on scalp due to microbial infection .
• Effects of aging of the skin: Aging affects
the character and function of the skin .
cosmetics are used to partially repair , mask
or overcome such changes Decrease in
elasticity of the skin cause wrinkles due to
less blood supply.

emollient as well as protective action to
the skin against environmental
condition by forming a semi-occlusive
residual film. This film is neither greasy
nor oily.
3.VANISHING CREAM
They are oil in water type of emulsion. When applied
on the surface of the skin, they spread as a thin oil less
film which is not visible to naked eye. Hence, they are
called vanishing creams. They are used to hold powder on
the skin as well as to improve adhesion.

 5.HAND AND BODY CREAM
Due to repeated exposure of skin to water,
soap and detergents many times a
day leads to removal of lipids and
other secretions from the skin. Cold
and dry winds are responsible for
chapping of the skin. Chapping
occurs due to loss of moisture from
The skin, which is also associated with
cracking. Water is sufficient to treat the dryness of the
skin but evaporation of water takes place which makes
the skin dry again and no emollient effect is
produced.
24
 Properties:
1.They should be easy to apply.
2.They helps in softening or imparting emollient
effect to hands.
3.They should not leave behind sticky film after
their application.
4.They should not interfere with perspiration of
the skin as it may reduce its bio availability.

 6.NIGHT AND MASSAGE CREAMS
• Night cream are the preparation which are
applied during night time and removed in the
morning where as massage cream are the
preparation which are gently applied and
rubbed on the skin through massage
technique. These creams exhibit moisturizing
and emollient action and thus prevent dryness
of skin.

27
• Why does skin becomes dry?

when stratum corneum is exposed to low

humidity, excessive loss of water takes place
with attributes to dryness of skin.
When the lower layer of epidermis does not
hydrate properly.
when the skin is in contact with soap or
solution of detergent for long time.

28

1.These creams are formulated with fatty
substance which helps in their easy spreading
on the skin.
2.These creams help in providing occlusive
layer to the skin, which reduce the rate of
water loss from the transepidermal layer. The
occlusive layer is also responsible for
providing moisturizing effect on the skin.
