Abstract: Skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis affect babies, children, and adults and are characterized
by red skin/spots, severe itching that appears on the face, head, legs, neck, and hands, and various
causes of illness caused by various external and internal factors. AD is a type IIgE-mediated hypersensitivity
reaction. Herbal preparations treat various dermatological diseases like dry skin, melasma, acne,
and eczema. Cosmeceuticals are the connection between cosmetics and medicine, one of the world's
most used forms of medicine. Cosmeceuticals products are beneficial in treating AD. Herbal cosmetics
play a major role in curing various skin diseases. Today, various herbs used in cosmeceuticals have
anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiseptic effects. Compared to synthetic preparations,
herbal preparations have fewer side effects. This review paper introduces Atopic dermatitis, cosmeceutical,
and various phytoconstituents like gallic acid, ferulic acid, boswellic acid, quercetin, and
naringenin tetra hydroxyl flavanol glycoside, glycyrrhizic acid, epigallocatechin gallate, etc., used in
atopic dermatitis.
