Abstract
Little scholarly research has been published on the cosmetic uses of tannins. This study identifies the emerging uses of tannin as cosmeceutical ingredient in skin and hair care products. A green chemistry, health, and economic perspective is offered on future developments concerning the use of tannins in cosmetic products massively employed such as hair dyes and hair relaxers. Besides filling a gap in the literature, the study will hopefully accelerate the uptake of tannins as cosmeceutical ingredients in cosmetic products widely used worldwide such as hair dyes and hair relaxers, eventually replacing harmful chemicals with a class of natural products imparted with broad-scope health-beneficial properties.
