Today in the world of competition and personal grooming the skin tone matters a lot and such products are highly acceptable that accounts for the shining of skin. In this regards, the rate of skin fairness cosmetics consumption is very high in our society. However, the high composition of chemical moieties in such products is responsible for the damage of skin layers. In such circumstances the natural and herbal products can be a better choice for preventing the skin from hazardous chemicals and for gaining natural glow. Consequently, one herb is found significantly promising during study, commonly known as Husn-e-Yousuf (Laminarea saccharina). In present study, through chemical analysis it was determined that the herb has highly beneficial chemical composition that are friendly for skin texture and tone. Beside that strong antioxidant and radical scavenging activity proved Husn-e-Yousuf a promising skin care and an excellent choice for skin care
