    Shoug Muqbel Alshammari, Badriah Eid Alsaif, Abdullah Al Hamid
    The study analyzed 479 social media posts to understand attitudes towards cosmetic and lifestyle products, focusing on rosemary, antidandruff shampoo, and Sudocream. Positive perceptions of rosemary included improved hair growth and volume, while negatives involved white hair and hair loss. Sudocream was positively viewed for treating acne and deodorizing, but negatively for worsening acne and causing burns. Antidandruff shampoo was positively associated with treating fungal infections. The study highlights the importance of considering individual attitudes, cultural differences, and environmental factors when recommending cosmetic products.
