“…This might be explained by the age differences since the participants in this study were youth (18-23 years) and keener to maintain good body odor. Female participants, as expected, were using deodorants more than males, which is in agreement with other studies 17 , 18 . Moreover, participants tended to change their deodorant due to deodorant odor rather than adverse effects.…”

Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at An-Najah National University from Aug 2018 to Mar 2020. A questionnairewas constructed using a Google survey form. All analyses were done using SPSS 21.0, Fisher test was used for comparativeanalysis and the P-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: A total of 554 students participated in the study. About 93% of the participants were using deodorants and adverseeffects were reported by 25% of the participants. The reported adverse effects were itching (26%), coloration (25%), sneezing(21%), and eye redness (8%). Only 4.1% of the participants visited a physician for counselling regarding various adverse effects.

“…The trend of using cosmetics gained momentum all around the Globe, however, the actual quantity used is not determined by any actual statistical data. However, lack of civilian awareness related to cosmetics usage causes a significant healthcare risk, especially in developing countries [51]. According to the theory of planned behavior (TPB), behavioral intention has three factors: Attitudes towards a behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control (PCB) [52].…”

Consumers and producers are becoming more open to the usage of natural cosmetics. This can be seen in them using a variety of natural cosmetic resources and materials. This fact is further supported by the trend of environmental and health awareness. These phenomena can be found within both the producers’ and the consumers’ behavior. Our research supports that green or natural products’ role in the cosmetics industry is getting more and more pronounced. The role of science is to determine the variables suggesting the consumer to change to natural cosmetics. The primary aim of our research is to find out to what extent the characteristics of the consumption of organic foods and natural cosmetics differ. We would like to know what factors influence consumer groups when buying green products. The novelty of the analyses is mainly that consumers were ordered into clusters, based on consuming bio-foodstuffs and preferring natural cosmetics. The cluster analysis has multiple variables, namely: Consumer behavior in light of bio-product, new natural cosmetics brand, or health- and environmental awareness preferences. The data was collected using online questionnaire, exclusively in Hungary during April–May of 2018. 197 participants answered our questions. The results of descriptive statistics and the cluster analysis show that there are consumers who prefer natural cosmetics, whereas some of them buy traditional ones. A third group use both natural and ordinary cosmetics. The results suggest that on the market of cosmetic products, health and environmental awareness will be a significant trend for both producer and consumer behavior, even in the future. However, it will not necessarily follow the trends of the foodstuffs industry, as the health effect spectrum of cosmetics is far shorter. In the future, the palette of natural cosmetics will become much wider. The main reason for this will be the appearance of green cosmetics materials and environmentally friendly production methods (mostly for packaging). The consumers will also have the possibility to choose the ones that suit them the most.

“…According to Bilal et al (Bilal et al 2016), herbal cosmetics are highly valued and nearly three-quarters of the cosmetics and cosmeceuticals that are used globally are discovered from local plants. In addition, about 25% of modern cosmetics are derived from plants (Amit et al 2010).…”

Access to natural resources in the immediate environment is an essential factor that contributes to livelihood in many rural areas. In the current study, we explored the economic potential(s) of the natural herbal-based cosmetic and cosmeceutical enterprise for the welfare of the Vhavenda women. A purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from 79 Vhavenda women and analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics (Tobit regression) as well as budgeting analysis. The majority (61%) of the participants were married with an average household size of five members. Additionally, 39% of the participants were already ageing with an average age-group of 56–70 years. The majority (44%) of the participants were not formally employed while the monthly average total income of R1841.01 (107.37 USD) was recorded with an average per capital expenditure of R1438.42 (83.89 USD). A budgeting cost ratio of 1.28 was recorded, which indicates that for every R1.00 (0.057 USD) invested in the herbal-based cosmetic and cosmeceutical production, an expected return of R1.28 (0.073 USD) was forecasted. Tobit regression results indicated that the determinants of the income of participants were experience level (p < 0.01), religion affiliation (p < 0.05) and consumption expenditure (p < 0.01) among others. Thus, a conscious, introspective and intentional look into this marginalised herbal-based cosmetic and cosmeceutical enterprise as a panacea for improved income and welfare of rural South Africans should be considered.
