ÖZET
Bitkilerden elde edilen ekstreler ve fitokimyasallar, geçmişten günümüze farmasötik ve kozmetik alanda kullanılan preparatların içeriğinde yer almışlardır. Özellikle kozmetik preparatlarda, son zamanlarda doğal içerikli ürünler ön plana çıkmaktadır. Kozmetikler, tarih boyunca insanlar için yaşamın vazgeçilmez bir parçası olmuştur. Kozmetik ürünlerde kullanılan kimyasal maddelerin günümüzde bilinen tehlikeli etkilerinden dolayı bitkisel içerekli doğal ürünlerin kullanımı gündeme gelmiştir. Sentetik kaynaklı ürünlerin keşfedilen bu yan etkileri, pek çok alanda bitkisel kaynaklı doğal ürünlerin tercih edilmesini teşvik etmiştir. Geçtiğimiz yıllarda bilhassa kimyasalların yan etkileri bilinir hâle geldikten sonra, doğal kaynaklı bileşenlerin ve ekstrelerin kozmetik formülasyonlarda kullanımı artmıştır. Kozmetik endüstrisi de artan bu talebe kayıtsız kalmayarak, her geçen gün portföyüne yeni bir bitkisel içerikli kozmetik preparat katmaktadır. Bu derlemede kozmetik preparatlar, bitkisel içerikli kozmetik ürünlere genel bakış konusu ve günlük hayatta yahut deneysel çalışmalarda kozmetik etkisi ispatlanmış ve sıklıkla kullanılan bitkilerin etkileri genel olarak özetlenmiştir. Halk arasında bilinen kozmetik bitkisel karışımların ya da yalnızca drogların kullanımlarına değinilmiştir. Bununla beraber halk arasında kozmetik amaçlı kullanımı olmayan, ancak deneysel çalışmalarla kozmetik preparatlarda kullanım potansiyeli olan bitkilerden ve droglardan da bahsedilmiştir. Bu amaçla, çeşitli bitkiler üzerinde durulmuş ve bu bitkilerin hangi aktivite üzerinden hangi kozmetik amaçla kullanıldığından bahsedilmiştir. Bu bağlamda, gerek koruyucu gerekse ana bileşen olarak kullanılan bitkisel kaynaklı kozmetik içeriklerin kısa bir özeti çıkarılmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Kozmetikler; topikal uygulama; bitki ekstreleri; bitki yağları; saç preparatları; cilt bakımı

For this purpose, various plants were emphasized and it was mentioned about which activity these plants were used for which cosmetic purpose.
