CITES plants in cosmetic products
JAKUBCOVÁ, Claudia
This thesis deals with the properties of endangered plant species listed in CITES Appendices that are contained in cosmetic products on the Czech market and the characteristics of these products. The attitude and responsibility of companies towards environmental protection issues and the evaluation of these cosmetic products by users were investigated by questionnaires. A total of 20 species were found in 90 cosmetic products, of which 12 representatives were from the family of Orchideaceae, two species of cacti (Selenicereus grandiflorus, Opuntia ficus-indica), ginseng (Panax ginseng, Araliacae), Aloe ferox (Asphodelaceae), Euphorbia antisyphilitica (Euphorbiaceae), Aniba rosodora (Lauraceae), Aquilaria malaccensis (Thymelleaceae), Cyathea medullaris (Cyatheaceae). No cases of collection in the wild were found. All the evidence shows that the plants used in cosmetics are cultivated and therefore the CITES Convention is not violated. Users were satisfied with the cosmetic products.
