The document discusses the role of medicinal plants in nutricosmetics, which are nutritional supplements designed to improve skin and hair health. These supplements come in various forms like ampoules, capsules, or tablets and aim to enhance skin elasticity, tone, hydration, prevent hair loss, and support nail growth. The study reviewed the health-promoting effects of certain medicinal plants, examining the herbal raw materials, active substances, and their benefits based on recent literature.
