Abstract:

Cosmetics are daily chemical industry products that are applied to any part of the human body surface (skin, hair, nails, lips, etc.) by rubbing, spraying or other similar methods to achieve the purpose of cleaning, eliminating bad odor, skin care, beauty and modification. After years of development, the domestic cosmetics industry has maintained steady growth in market size. In recent years, with the improvement of people’s living standards, the cosmetics consumption idea changes and cosmetics become necessities of people’s daily life, especially the domestic cosmetics which contain plant materials are more favored by consumers. However, the analysis of the cosmetics market is mainly based on the questionnaire survey. There is relatively little analysis based on the official record data, and there is no comprehensive statistical analysis of the use frequency and efficacy of plant materials. In this paper, the number and composition of domestic ordinary cosmetics published by the National Medical Products Administration from 2014 to 2021 were retrieved and statistically processed, the industry concerns such as the use of plant materials, efficacy studies and compatibility relationship were analyzed and discussed, and relevant suggestions were given. A total of 1 026 179 records are retrieved, of which 82.64% are cosmetics containing plant materials. Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. is the most frequently used plant source material, and the use form of plant materials is mostly compound. Through data analysis, it is found that cosmetics containing plant materials have become the mainstream of ordinary cosmetics in China, but more attention should be paid to quality control of plant materials and basic research should be increased in the future, such as research on the mechanism of action of effective ingredients and scientific compatibility of ingredients. It is suggested to strengthen the cooperation and resource sharing between cosmetics enterprises and promote the integration of government, industry, colleges and universities, promote the plant materials production and use of standardization. It can provide theoretical support for the development of cosmetics with innovative and characteristic plant materials and the extension of the plant materials industry chain.
