According to the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 which of the following is the most appropriate definition of cosmetics:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The most appropriate definition includes articles intended for application to the human body or any part of it for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness or changing appearance, together with cosmetic components. Section 3(aaa) focuses on intended use, so an article need not already have been applied to the body. Omitting the cosmetic purposes makes the description too broad, while requiring actual application loses the statutory intended-use element.
