Abstract:

The state encourages and supports the use of modern science and technology, and the policy orientation of research and development of cosmetics in combination with our country's traditional advantageous projects and characteristic plant resources has pointed out a new scientific research direction for the development of domestic cosmetics. As one of the richest and most typical regions of biodiversity in the country and even in the world, Tibet has bred more than 9 600 kinds of wild plants, of which 1 075 are endemic to Tibet, and 383 kinds of rare and endangered wild plants are protected. Because of its location on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, high altitude, strong sunlight, thin air, and large temperature difference between day and night, the plant resources in this area have unique secondary metabolites and biological activities. This paper systematically reviews the plant composition, floristic division and plant diversity characteristics of plant resources in seven regions of Tibet, including Ali, Nagqu, Lhasa, Shigatse, Shannan, Nyingchi and Qamdo. Based on the general situation of plant resources in Tibet, the application status and development prospect of 30 kinds of plants with Tibetan characteristics in anti-wrinkle, whitening, soothing, anti-acne, hair care and other products are systematically analyzed for the first time, providing reliable theoretical support for the protection and development of Tibetan plant resources and the research and application in the field of cosmetics.

Key words: characteristic plants of Tibet, geographical fauna, plant resources classification, cosmetic application
