According to the federal Food Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act cosmetics are defined as "articles applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance without affecting the body's structure or functions". Among cosmetics body lotions hold a very prominent place. Body lotions are responsible for protecting skin against pathogens, regulating its temperature and also as a source of vitamins.Body lotions are mostly applied for skin problems like rashes, dryness and those who want to keep their skin nourished, hydrated and fresh.

They help to keep the skin hydrated and supple.
