Cosmetics (colloquially known as makeup or make-up) are care substances
used to enhance the appearance or odor of the human body. They are
generally mixtures of chemical compounds, some being derived from
natural sources, many being synthetic.
In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which regulates
cosmetics, defines cosmetics as "intended to be applied to the human
body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering
the appearance without affecting the body's structure or functions."
This broad definition includes, as well, any material intended for use
as a component of a cosmetic product
