Rondo, Mtandazo Beukes, Edith Magister Scientiae - MSc (Chemistry) The regulation of the Western beauty care products is currently inadequate and a huge concern to consumers throughout the world, as most of the products manufactured by personal care industry are made of synthetic additives, while the traditional skin-care products are safe products made from natural elements.

Magister Scientiae - MSc (Chemistry) === The regulation of the Western beauty care products is currently inadequate and a huge concern to
consumers throughout the world, as most of the products manufactured by personal care industry
are made of synthetic additives, while the traditional skin-care products are safe products made
from natural elements. Usage of traditional medicinal plants is perceived as a superior alternative
to achieve improvement of the gradually deteriorating standard of manufacturing beauty care
products. Therefore, the present study assesses the suitability of several South African plant
species conventionally used in traditional medicine for skin hyperpigmentation treatment. Ten
plant species, viz. Cassine peragua, Cassipourea gummiflua, Clivia miniata, Cryptocarya

Rhynchosia villosa, and Senecio serratuloides were obtained after interviewing fifteen traditional
