“…FucoPol was used to prepare emulsions with four different oils commonly used in cosmetic products' formulations, namely, castor oil [35][36][37][38], paraffin oil [39][40][41], almond oil [42,43] and olive oil [44][45][46][47][48]. Castor oil is a natural oil that acts as an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, wound healing, vasoconstrictive [49] and UV-protective agent [50].…”

Biobased raw materials like natural polysaccharides are increasingly sought by the cosmetic industry for their valuable properties. Such biodegradable and usually non-cytotoxic biopolymers are commonly used in skin-care products as rheological modifiers, bioemulsifiers and/or bioactive ingredients. FucoPol is a natural polysaccharide with reported biocompatibility, emulsion-forming and stabilizing capacity, shear-thinning behavior and bioactivity (e.g., antioxidant capacity, wound healing ability) that potentiate its utilization in skin-care products. In this study, olive oil and α-tocopherol containing emulsions were stabilized with FucoPol. Although the presence of α-tocopherol negatively impacted the emulsions’ stability, it increased their emulsification index (EI). Moreover, FucoPol outperformed the commercial emulsifier Sepigel® 305, under the tested conditions, with higher EI and higher stability under storage for 30 days. The formulation of FucoPol-based emulsions with olive oil and α-tocopherol was studied by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) that allowed the definition of the ingredients’ content to attain high emulsification. The RSM model established that α-tocopherol concentration had no significant impact on the EI within the tested ranges, with optimal emulsification for FucoPol concentration in the range 0.7–1.2 wt.% and olive oil contents of 20–30 wt.%. Formulations with 25 wt.% olive oil and either 0.5 or 2.0 wt.% α-tocopherol were emulsified with 1.0 wt.% or 0.7 wt.% FucoPol, respectively, resulting in oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. The emulsions had similar shear-thinning behavior, but the formulation with higher FucoPol content displayed higher apparent viscosity, higher consistency, as well as higher firmness, adhesiveness and cohesiveness, but lower spreadability. These findings show FucoPol’s high performance as an emulsifier for olive oil/α-tocopherol, which are supported by an effective impact on the physicochemical and structural characteristics of the emulsions. Hence, this natural polysaccharide is a potential alternative to other emulsifiers.

“…An advantage to the use of GSO in cosmetic formulations is that natural products commonly have fewer undesirable effects when compared to synthetic ones (4). Furthermore, the oil contains compounds with great antioxidant activity (16). The combination of antioxidant activity of the GSO components with UVB filter octyl methoxycinnamate in emulsified formulations represents a strategy to protect the human skin against UV-induced damage.…”

“…Since the grape seed oil (GSO) is rich in bioactive compounds it has great potential application in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry (13). This oil present high content of monounsaturated fatty acids (90%), such as linoleic acid (58-78% w/w), oleic acid (12-28% w/w) and antioxidants such as tannins, phenolic compounds and tocopherol (vitamin E) (14,15) which are capable of improving UV protection and epidermal antioxidant activity responsible for premature aging and photoaging (16). Chu et al (2021) (16) published a review article about the use of seed oils in sunscreen formulations, and the studies demonstrated that GSO inhibits lipid oxidation and ROSinduced damage and has anti-inflammation properties.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the grape seed oil (GSO) on the sun protection factor (SPF) of sunscreen emulsified formulations containing butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane (avobenzone (AVO)) and octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC) developed by phase inversion temperature (PIT) employing a Central Composite Design. Formulations were prepared by PIT emulsification process. Seventeen emulsions containing different amounts of GSO, AVO and OMC were obtained according to experimental design. In vitro SPF was determined using a spectrophotometric method. As expected, formulations with the highest concentrations of UV filters, AVO and OMC, resulted in the highest SPF values, while the lowest SPF values were obtained by formulations containing concentrations of these filters below the central point. In the tested concentrations, the variable OMC and its combination with GSO showed to influence the SPF linearly as a function of their concentrations in formulations. The combination of GSO with OMC contributed to increase in vitro SPF. The use of natural compounds with antioxidant activity, such as GSO, is a viable strategy to increase the effectiveness of sunscreens to protect the human skin against UV-induced damage.

“…However, seeds and the oil extracted from them contain interesting bioactive compounds such as tocopherols, phytosterols, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and essential unsaturated fatty acids such as linolenic acid (omega‐3) and linoleic acid (omega‐6) (Cervera‐Mata et al., 2021; Chaves et al., 2020; Mushtaq et al., 2020). The nutraceutical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food applications as well as the health effects of these compounds from different seed sources have been extensively studied and reviewed (Alexandre et al., 2017; Chu & Nyam, 2021; Ismail et al., 2019; Manca et al., 2020; Maqsood et al., 2020; Punia & Kumar, 2021; Quintin et al., 2019; Rakariyatham et al., 2020; Rodrigues et al., 2015). Although soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, cottonseed, and peanut constitute the oilseeds with the highest production around the world (USDA, 2022), a great variety of oilseeds are regionally produced constituting not only important incomes for local economies but also available resources for the food production chain.…”

Oilseeds are sources of not only major compounds such as oil and meal but also of bioactive compounds. Their conventional extraction is related to long extraction time, large non-renewable solvent consumption, high temperature, and therefore, high energy consumption. Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) has emerged as a new and green technology, which can accelerate and/or improve the extraction process of these compounds. Moreover, the possibility of using renewable solvents in the UAE enhances its application and allows obtaining both extracted and remaining products more compatible with current human consumption requirements. This article examines the mechanisms, concepts, and factors that impact oilseeds' UAE with an emphasis on the extraction yield and quality of oil, meal, and bioactive compounds. Furthermore, the effects of combining UAE with other technologies are addressed. Gaps detected in the analyzed literature about oilseed treatment and quality and properties of products, in addition to perspectives about their uses as food ingredients, are also included.Moreover, it highlights the need for increasing research on process scalability, on environmental and economic impacts of the whole process, and on the phenomenological description about the effect of process variables on extraction performances, which will be a key tool for process design, optimization, and control. Understanding ultrasound processing techniques for the extraction of different compounds from oilseeds will serve as useful information for fats and oils and meal scientists in academia and industry to explore the possibility of employing this sustainable approach during the extraction treatment of various crops.
