Cosmeceutical
Cosmeceuticals are cosmetic products with bioactive ingredients purported to have medical benefits. The term is not recognized by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which classifies these products as cosmetics.
Definition[edit]
The term cosmeceutical, a portmanteau of "cosmetic" and "pharmaceutical", was coined by Albert Kligman in 1984. It has no meaning under regulatory law in the United States.
Regulation[edit]
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not recognize the term "cosmeceutical". The law does not recognize any such category as "cosmeceuticals". A product can be a drug, a cosmetic, or a combination of both, but the term "cosmeceutical" has no legal significance.
Types[edit]
Cosmeceuticals can be categorized into several types based on their active ingredients. These include, but are not limited to, Antioxidants, Peptides, Retinoids, and Hydroxy acids.
Market[edit]
The global cosmeceuticals market size was valued at USD 46.93 billion in 2018 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2019 to 2025.
