“…These alternatives were selected to understand the influence of incorporating blends of ingredients in the rheological and sensory features of the final product. Overall, the selection strategy was based on a previous work developed by our group [1,2] and on the works of Garrison and Dayan [13] and Beerling [17] which, in their reported studies, chose different types of oils, butters, fats, and waxes and interlinked the chemistry and the physicochemical properties of the raw materials with the advantages and limitations of their use. Concerning dimethicone (D) alternatives, five ingredients were tested, namely PLS (hydrogenated ethylhexyl olivate and hydrogenated olive oil unsaponifiables), EMG (C15-19 alkane), MD (octyldodecyl myristate), DPPG (propylene glycol dipelargonate), and SQ (hydrogenated polysobutene).…”

With the increasing debate on sustainability, there is a strong market trend to formulate more sustainable products for topical application. Several studies emphasize the potential applications of natural, organic, or green chemistry-derived ingredients, but comparative studies between conventional ingredients and sustainable alternatives are lacking. This type of study is considered an excellent baseline and time-saving strategy for future studies. In addition, one of the main challenges of replacing ingredients by sustainable alternatives in topical vehicles is to maintain high-quality products. Thus, the main goal of this research study was to create a well-defined strategy supported by specific experimental data for the development of sustainable topical vehicles with high-quality standards. The study was designed to evaluate the effects of replacing conventional ingredients (e.g., hydrocarbons, silicones, and preservatives) by sustainable ones on the physical, chemical, and microbiological features of topical emulsions. Additionally, in vivo assessment studies were performed to evaluate the safety, biological efficacy, and sensorial aspects of the developed formulations. The results obtained showed that the replacement of ingredients by sustainable alternatives has an effective impact on the physicochemical and structural properties of the emulsions, mainly on their rheological behavior. However, using appropriate strategies for ingredient selection and rheological adjustment, it is possible to overcome some barriers created by the use of natural raw materials, thus developing appealing and high-quality sustainable topical vehicles.

“…Pracaxi oil has been used in the cosmetic industry in hair and skin care products due to its rich fatty acid content and high behenic acid content, with behenic acid being dubbed as the “natural silicone” [ 76 ]. Cationic surfactants whose main ingredient is pracaxi oil show clinically proven effectiveness in strengthening the hair fiber, improving manageability and increasing shine [ 77 ].…”

Pracaxi (Penthaclethra macroloba (Willd.) Kuntze) is an Amazonian plant, traditionally used by the native population to treat health disorders such as inflammation, erysipelas, wound healing, muscle pain, ear pain, diarrhea, snake and insect bites as well as for cancer treatment. Other common uses include using the oil for frying, skin and hair beautification, and as an alternative source of energy. This review is focused on highlighting its taxonomy, occurrence and botanical origins, popular uses, pharmacology and biological activities, cytotoxicity, biofuel activity and phytochemistry in order to explore future therapeutic use and other applications. Pracaxi contains triterpene saponins, sterols, tannins, oleanolic acid, unsaturated fatty acids and long-chain fatty acids, with a high behenic acid value, which may serve for incorporation into drug delivery systems as well for the development of new drugs. These components are correlated with its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, healing, anti-hemolytic, anti-hemorrhagic, antiophidic, and larvicidal activities against Aedes aegypti and Helicorverpa zea, which ratify the popular/traditional uses. The species is nitrogen fixing; it is easy to propagate in floodplains and the terra firma, and it can be used for the reforestation of degraded areas. Additionally, the oil extracted from the seeds can leverage the bioeconomy of the region based on sustainable exploration.

“…In supporting more sustainable production and consumption (SCP) aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), stakeholder efforts can greatly contribute to integrating sustainable development challenges into strategies, policies, and actions that best serve today's consumers and the society as a whole. As cosmetic companies are broadening their attempts to become more environmental-friendly and sustainable, the most favored aspect could be the use of natural and organic ingredients because negative perceptions toward chemicals imply that natural is safer (Beerling, 2013). Even so, by stating organic or natural on the product labels does not necessarily mean they are better or sustainable.…”

This study aims to investigate consumers' perspectives and impact on green cosmetics and personal care products in Thailand. Specifically, it explores the sustainability movement for the cosmetics and personal care industry, analyzes Thai consumer behavioral intention toward the consumption of green cosmetics and personal care products, and evaluates the impact of related policies that may affect green business transitions and consumers' intention to purchase green cosmetics and personal care products. The movement of industry and related policies were analyzed by means of Life Cycle Thinking approach. Hypotheses were formulated based on The Perceived Value Theory with extended factors of environmental concern and green policy. A mixed methods of qualitative and quantitative studies were conducted through online surveys of 423 consumers and in-depth interviews with 30 consumers, 8 local and international companies, and 4 governmental agencies and NGOs. The qualitative analysis shows a strong correlation between circular economy practices, green production processes, environmental certifications, and eco-labeling schemes aligned with sustainability objectives. However, the sustainability concepts were not fully embedded and integrated into policy development and business strategies, which resulted in barriers to sustainable practices. In addition, the quantitative results from PLS-SEM show that the perceived functional value and environmental concern have significant impacts on consumer purchase intention. However, the influence of emotional value and social value was not supported. Meanwhile, the green policy is a strong predictor of environmental concern which indirectly correlates to the perceived value and purchase intention of green cosmetics and personal care products. These findings offer contributions toward extending the knowledge on how multidimensional consumer values coincide and influence behavioral intention. Linking functional value with environmental considerations should be aligned with the proposed policy recommendations in undertaking sustainability impact assessment throughout a product's life cycle, enforcing codes of practice relating to waste and packaging waste management, regulating sustainability and green-related terms for marketing and communication, making corporate sustainability reporting mandatory, and developing green taxation system to promote green consumption and production and reduce environmental footprints, to move toward a holistic approach to sustainable development.
