Background: Aroma oils have various psychological and physical effects and have been used in the beauty industry in several ways. Although aroma oils have functional effects regarding skin beauty, they are not fully utilized in the cosmetic marketing field.
Objective: To bring out the potential of aroma oils in the market, the perception of efficacies of aroma oils and the evaluation of functional efficacy were studies and analyzed in this study.
Methods: The awareness of the effects of aroma oils was determined using surveys, and the actual cosmetic effects of aroma oils were analyzed via in vitro tests.
Results: As a result of evaluating the efficacy of aroma oils via experiments, basil, ylang-ylang, lemongrass, geranium, peppermint, and marjoram oils have antioxidant properties, and eucalyptus and lemongrass oils have brightening effects.
Conclusion: Basil, ylang-ylang, lemongrass, geranium, peppermint, and marjoram oils have the potential to be used as ingredients in anti-aging cosmetics. Also, eucalyptus and lemongrass oils have brightening effects, indicating that they have potential as ingredients for brightening cosmetics.
