It is also used as a cosmetic ingredient for creams (face, hand, hair and tanning) and lotions (eye). The demand for the Coleus extracts has been steadily increasing due to additional indications and novel applications in cosmetics.

Coleus has anti-histamine and anti-asthma health benefit. It promotes weight loss in obese patients.
