When I was a kid, Easter used to be a much bigger deal holiday than it has become. We used to get baskets of candy, go on easter egg hunts and get together for a big family dinner. Now, it's just the dinner but perhaps that is reflective of the fact that I don't have any kids.

Anyway, there are a number of cosmetic ingredients that evoke the traditional American Easter holiday. Here are some examples.

Eggs

One of the most ubiquitous symbols of Easter is the egg. If you are formulating a cosmetic product there are a number of egg ingredients, mostly for hair conditioning and skin moisturization.
