JOURNAL OF COSMETIC SCIENCE 244 Graphical Abstract HIGHLIGHTS • Sources repre senting the six major ACN aglycones were evaluated for their use in cosmetic formulations. • Color profi le s of formulas were compared with those of commercially available products and their equivalents. • Formulas show ed good stability to accelerated environmental testing conditions at elevated temperatures. • Our results s uggest a novel application of ACNs as potential alternatives to synthetic colorants in cosmetics.
