Cosmetics and Cosmeceuticals (Theory)

By Diksha, Piyush Chahal & Pooja Dhama

Cosmetics are among the most widely used pharmaceutical-adjacent products in everyday life. Soap, toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, sunscreen, lipstick and at least a dozen other cosmetic categories are used by hundreds of millions of Indian consumers every single day. Yet for a long time the formal pharmacy curriculum gave only limited attention to cosmetics, and most B.Pharm graduates left their degree with little exposure to the science, technology and regulation of the cosmetic industry.
