COSMETIC 是英語中兼具名詞與形容詞詞性的辭彙，形容詞含義涵蓋“表面的”或“美容的”，名詞則指化妝品。其英式發音為kɒzˈmetɪk，美式發音為kɑːzˈmetɪk，複數形式為cosmetics。
作為形容詞時，可用於描述非實質性外觀修飾（如cosmetic changes）或與美容相關的事物（如cosmetic surgery）；作為名詞時特指化妝品，常見搭配包括cosmetic bag（化妝包）、cosmetic brush（化妝刷）等。該詞在美容行業中也被用於描述整容及日常護理領域。
該詞源自希臘語kosmētikos（意為“裝飾技藝”），經拉丁語進入英語，早期主要用於修飾外表的概念，後隨美容行業擴展套用範圍。
