Overview

Types of Cosmetics

Cosmetic types are organized according to classification names based on fair competition regulations and a classification system by use, application area, and form. They are broadly categorized into skin cosmetics (skincare), makeup cosmetics, hair cosmetics (haircare), perfumes and colognes, and other cosmetics, each with unique product forms and functions. This serves as an important standard for product development, labeling, and consumer choice in the cosmetics industry.
