-- Proteins: are a form of long chain amino acids formed by peptide bonding.

Carbohydrates: are sugars and include Lipids and Monosaccharide and are found in a lot of food.
Lipids: any natural fat-soluable molecules.
Monosaccharide: One of the simplest sugars.

-- Lipids are used in Makeup, they are found in soap; Glycerol is one of the most common and it is used in toothpaste skin care products an perfumes. Glycerol is a hygroscopic liquid; meaning it draws water from the environment making it good to perserve moisture so a valuable component in mositurizers and foundations.

According to Wikipeida: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protiens
"Proteins are large organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of adjacent amino acid residues. The sequence of amino acids in a protein is defined by a gene and encoded in the genetic code."

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosaccharide
"Monosaccharides (from Greek monos: single, sacchar: sugar) are the simplest carbohydrates. They cannot be hydrolyzed into simpler sugars. They consist of one sugar and are usually colorless, water-soluble, crystalline solids. Some monosaccharides have a sweet taste. Examples of monosaccharides include glucose (dextrose), fructose, galactose, xylose and ribose. Monosaccharides are the building blocks of disaccharides like sucrose (common sugar) and polysaccharides (such as cellulose and starch). Further, each carbon atom that supports a hydroxyl group (except for the first and last) is chiral, giving rise to a number of isomeric forms all with the same chemical formula. For instance, galactose and glucose are both aldohexoses, but they have different chemical and physical properties."

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid
"Lipids can be broadly defined as any fat-soluble (hydrophobic), naturally-occurring molecules. The term is more-specifically used to refer to fatty-acids and their derivatives (including tri-, di-, and monoglycerides and phospholipids) as well as other fat-soluble sterol-containing metabolites such as cholesterol.

Lipids have many functions in living organisms including nutrients, energy storage, structural components of cell membranes, and important signaling molecules. Although the term lipid is sometimes used as a synonym for fat, fats are in fact a subgroup of lipids called triglycerides and should not be confused with the term fatty acid."

According to Wikipeida: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol
"- Serves as an emollient, humectant, solvent, and lubricant in personal care products.
- Competes with sorbitol although glycerol has better taste and higher solubility.
- Toothpaste, mouthwashes, skin care products, shaving cream, hair care products and soaps
- Glycerol is a component of glycerol soap, which is made from denatured alcohol, glycerol, sodium castorate (from castor), sodium cocoate, sodium tallowate, sucrose, water and parfum (fragrance). Sometimes one adds sodium laureth sulfate. This kind of soap is used by people with sensitive, easily irritated skin because it prevents skin dryness with its moisturizing properties. It is possible to make glycerol soap at home.

It was once believed that when used as an emollient, glycerol should never be applied undiluted to the skin. It was thought that the same powerful hygroscopic property that draws moisture out of the air to moisten the skin will draw moisture out of the skin if the glycerol is too concentrated. This in fact has proven to be untrue."
