Abstract
Cosmetic products are an essential traded commodity in different facilities, including pharmacies. This article defines cosmetic products, their common features, and their differences from medicinal preparations and medical devices.
The presented paper aims to explain the basics of marketing procedures and claims about the properties and effects of cosmetics governed by specific legislation. However, this article does not provide a complete interpretation of all applicable regulations.
Still, it should direct the pharmacists and pharmaceutical assistants to cosmetics, which form an essential part of the pharmaceutical range. This article also aims to characterize natural cosmetics and differentiate them from conventional (synthetic) cosmetics.
