Thus, cosmetics are one of the most required commodities among young women today. Actually, the use of cosmetics is determined by social and ecological factors, and they have the potential to directly or indirectly affect people’s health. Accordingly, today a large number of young women are suffering from various health disorders.

So this study mainly focused on evaluating the adverse effects of cosmetics. All the primary and secondary data used in this study were collected through structured quiz interviews and observations and the data were analysed using qualitative and quantitative methods employing Excel software.
