Cosmetic products (KS) are mass consumption products. They usually include biologically active substances (BAS): vitamins, plant extracts, enzymes, amino acids, antiseptics. The sale of cosmetic products containing biologically active substances is accompanied by advertising of their anti-inflammatory and regenerating effect on the skin, effectiveness against acne, dandruff and other conditions requiring medical intervention. Medical cosmetics (LC) and pharmaceutical dermatological preparations have different functional purposes.
