In recent years, pharmaceutical cosmetics have experienced rapid development in fields such as skincare and anti-aging, particularly due to the multifunctionality and safety of natural active ingredients. These natural components, including plant extracts, marine bioextracts, and animal-derived ingredients, exhibit significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, reparative, and anti-aging effects, making them widely used in pharmaceutical cosmetics. However, despite being considered a safe choice, potential safety issues such as allergic reactions and photosensitivity still exist. Therefore, systematically studying the efficacy and safety evaluation of natural active ingredients, especially their applications in pharmaceutical cosmetics, is of great importance for driving industry innovation and ensuring product safety. This paper analyzes common natural active ingredients, explores their efficacy and safety evaluation standards, and proposes strategies to optimize their application.
