The flora of Turkey has a wide variety of
plant species due to its geographical location and it is composed of
approximately 12,000 taxa, of which one third is endemic. Many plants have been
used for cosmetic purposes since ancient times, especially for today, in the
cosmetic industry, the demand for natural and non-harmful sources has
increased, rather than synthetic substances. Considering these two conditions, it
is observed that there are many plants in our country and this diversity finds
a lot of space in the cosmetics industry. Due to an increasing number of
natural cosmetic products for consumers, in this paper, it is aimed to create a
source of guidance for domestic suppliers/manufacturers by utilizing the
diversity of natural resources and to increase the diversity of domestic
natural products used in the industry. Besides this, in terms of raw materials
for cosmetic products, easier, sustainable and to reach in the short term as
well as economically important plants are given in this paper. Cosmetic
products and / or raw material manufacturers will improve the quality of
cosmetic raw materials and cosmetics products that they are producing in line
with this information and thus, cosmetic raw materials and products originating
from our country will be appreciated in the world.
