Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cosmetics are defined as any substance or preparation intended to be used on the external parts of the human body that are mainly for cleansing, perfuming, beautifying, odorizing, and promoting well-being without affecting body structure or functions. A great deal of interest has been shown by consumers toward novel bioactive compounds as ingredients in cosmetics from natural resources because of their numerous beneficial effects compared to synthetic ingredients. The use of cosmetic preparations containing biomolecules aims to maintain the body in good condition, protect it from the effects of the environment and aging processes, change its appearance, and impart a good smell to the body.
This Special Issue on “Biomolecules in Cosmetic Sciences” seeks high-quality original contributions (experiments, theory, and modeling) and review articles. The scope of the Issue covers new developments in cosmetic formulations containing bioactive compounds including polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, vitamins, aromatic compounds, terpenoids, carotenoids, and others. Contributions related to newly developed methodologies for bioactives extraction are also welcome. Studies related with the biological characterization and safety of the new cosmetic formulations are also highly relevant for this Special Issue.
This Special Issue wants to draw the attention of the industrial and academic community to the latest developments in the field of cosmetic science.
