Bio-functional Cosmetics for Health: Exploring Nature’s Ingredients for Safety, Efficacy, and Sustainability bridges the gap between cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals, providing the latest research for developing health-promoting cosmeceuticals and nutricosmetics from various food sources and food waste. From medicinal plants, teas, cacao, coffee, fruits, vegetables, plant oils, nuts, and cereals to marine microorganisms, fungi, insects, crustaceans, and more, this book takes a close look into the safety, efficacy and sourcing of bioactives from these food sources and how they can be sustainably used as ingredients to create bio-functional cosmetics, cosmeceuticals and nutricosmetics.
Readers will gain insight on the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-cancer properties of bioactive ingredients in cosmetics and will also be informed on the latest regulatory and safety issues and R&D trends for the application of bioactives in functional cosmetics and cosmeceutical products.
