Desire of Iranian women for the consumption of hygienic and cosmetic tools has facilitated smuggling in a way that according to unofficial statistics, only 10% of cosmetics in Iran has been entered from legal and valid passages and 90% of these tools penetrates in internal market in smuggled and illegal way and without any supervision on quality and their production or maintenance methods. Irregular entrance of smuggled cosmetics has become out of control of challenge with smuggled goods administrators such a way that every year more than 800 million $ cosmetics has been entered to the country in illegal way. To investigate herbal cultivars, useful in hygienic and cosmetics industry, first in field experiments they were recognized and collected with help of native knowledge and valid references. Usages in hygienic and cosmetics industry and useful parts of these herbal cultivars were specified. Finally they were analyzed with Excel software. Results showed that from all these cultivars 61.4% were herbaceous and they had the most usages in treatment of skin illnesses. 27.3% of them were shrubs that 50% of these plants were applied in hygienic industry and rest of them that included leaves of different cultivars were applied in treatment-cosmetics industry. Because of province climate and existence of several pharmacy
factories, it is essential to conduct extensive investigations.
