The chemical and mineralogical compositions of salts occurring in this region were studied for pharmacological and cosmetic purposes. The salt-containing raw materials were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microflora of saline-containing raw materials and flora of the Zhaksy-Klych lake were studied. Fifty-six plant species were identified, of which 25% belong to the Asteraceae family, 32% were Poaceae, 22% were Amaranthaceae, and 21% were Tamaricaceae. Using the solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography\u2013mass spectrometry, the composition of volatile compounds in such plant species as Artemisia alba L., Achilleamillifolium L., Eleagus commutate Bernh. Ex Rydb.,\u00a0Psoraleadrupacea Bunge, Artemisia cipa O. Vegd., Thymus vulgaris L., Morus alba L., Salvia pratensis L., Glycyrhizaglabra L., Tanacetum vulgare L., Polygonumaviculare L., Alhagipseudoalhagi Gagnebin and Peganumharmala L., chosen on the basis of their herbal components for future cosmetic products, was determined. In total, 187 different volatile compounds were found in the endemic plant species Glycyrrhizaglabra L., of which the following were dominant: 1,7-octadiene-3-, 2,6-dimethyl- with a peak area of 4.71%; caryophyllenes; bicyclo[7.2.0]4,11,11-trimethyl-8-methylene-, [1R-(1R*,4E,9S*)]\u20143.70%; bicyclo[2.2.1] heptane-2-1,7,7-trimethyl-,(1S)\u20143.46%; cyclohexanone, 5-methyl-2-(1-methylethyledene)-; 2-isopropyledene-5\u20142.97%; menthol; cyclohexanol, 5-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-; p-menthane-3-ol; menthol alcohol; and 2-isopropyl-5\u20142.08%. The remaining compounds were detected in amounts of less than 2.0%. Tests of seven cosmetic compositions developed on the basis of plant extracts and salt-containing raw materials revealed that three samples had a moisturizing effect. Launching the production of cosmetic products in the Aral region will not only reduce social tensions but also significantly improve the environmental situation in the region.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules27165122","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,11]],"date-time":"2022-08-11T21:15:05Z","timestamp":1660252505000},"page":"5122","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Possibilities of Using Medicinal Plant Extracts and Salt-Containing Raw Materials from the Aral Region for Cosmetic Purposes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1113-9011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Izabela","family":"Nowak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Chemistry, Adam Mickiewicz University, Uniwersytetu Pozna\u0144skiego 8, 61-614 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Akmaral","family":"Issayeva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecology and Biology Research Institute, Shymkent University, Shymkent 160000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1482-8274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"D\u0105browska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Chemistry, Adam Mickiewicz University, Uniwersytetu Pozna\u0144skiego 8, 61-614 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3815-4841","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agata","family":"Wawrzy\u0144czak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Chemistry, Adam Mickiewicz University, Uniwersytetu Pozna\u0144skiego 8, 61-614 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6568-8155","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henryk","family":"Jele\u0144","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Food Science and Nutrition, Pozna\u0144 University of Life Sciences, Wojska Polskiego 31, 60-624 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9504-5265","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bogus\u0142awa","family":"\u0141\u0119ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Chemistry, Adam Mickiewicz University, Uniwersytetu Pozna\u0144skiego 8, 61-614 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Azhar","family":"Abubakirova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"M.
