“…In addition to lipids of chemical origin, a wide range of vegetable and animal oils and fats can be used as neutral bases and bioactive ingredients but today the lipids and their derivatives in cosmetic formulations are of plant or biotechnological origin. The types of lipids commonly used in cosmetics include triacylglycerides, waxes, ceramides, glycerophospholipids, sterols, hydrogenated, esterified, and oxidized lipids [49][50][51]. Lipids perform different functions in cosmetic formulations.…”

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in using microalgal lipids in the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Several microalgal species can accumulate appreciable lipid quantities and therefore are characterized as oleaginous. In cosmetic formulations, lipids and their derivatives are one of the main ingredients. Different lipid classes are great moisturizing, emollient, and softening agents, work as surfactants and emulsifiers, give consistence to products, are color and fragrance carriers, act as preservatives to maintain products integrity, and can be part of the molecules delivery system. In the past, chemicals have been widely used but today’s market and customers’ demands are oriented towards natural products. Microalgae are an extraordinary source of lipids and other many bioactive molecules. Scientists’ attention to microalgae cultivation for their industrial application is increasing. For the high costs associated, commercialization of microalgae and their products is still not very widespread. The possibility to use biomass for various industrial purposes could make microalgae more economically competitive.

“…The essential fatty acids and triglycerides containing unsaturated fatty acids are the cornerstones of cosmetic product's composition and development [11,12]. The oils having linoleic and α-linolenic acid in high content are vital in preventing eczemas or atopic dermatitis.…”

“…Such essential fatty acids integrate within the cell membranes and restore the damaged lipid barrier of the epidermis and prevent water loss. The unsaturated fatty acids contribute substantially to the healing of the inflamed skin and are often used as an integral component of cosmetic preparation [11,12]. The lipid nanoparticles-based cosmetic products possess tremendous chemical stability, remarkable skin compatibility and significantly protect skin against radiation and aging [11].…”

The lipids mainly oils, fats, waxes and phospholipids are of substantial importance in the development and functioning of cosmetic products. The lipid nanoparticles-based cosmetic product is highly capable of protecting the skin against harmful radiations and is utilized for anti-aging therapy. Naturally derived antioxidants such as carotenoids, retinoids and tocopherols could be employed for their antioxidant properties as therapeutics and skincare active moieties in cosmetic products. Such a lipid nanoparticles-based cosmetic formulation consisting of antioxidants are very effective against irritated and inflamed skin and very promising for treating skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Therefore, the present review provides an insight into lipid nanoparticles based cosmetics and the mechanistic of their percutaneous absorption. The manuscript discussion highlights the role of lipid nanoparticles-based cosmetics/cosmeceuticals employing active ingredients of synthetic and natural origin in alleviating dermatological disorders and enhancing skin health and appeal. Furthermore, the manuscript also updates about contemporary research studies carried on the concept of lipid nanoparticles based formulation design of cosmetic preparation and significant outcome to alleviate skin disorders.

“…The lipids present in cosmetics intended to be applied to human skin to protect and improve the appearance of body, form a protective barrier on the skin, protect from external harmful substances and help to keep it hydrated and soft. The fatty acids commonly used as components of cosmetic formulations are a mixture of triglycerides of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, i.e., they are esters of glycerol and higher fatty acids, containing even number of aliphatic carbon atoms (Bonnet 2018;Bialek et al 2016) (Table 1). In cosmetic emulsions which account for the bulk of personal care products, the major ingredients present are lipids (plant oils, fatty acids, etc.)…”

The fatty acids containing plant oils have been used as components of cosmetic formulations, and the best cosmetic function has been established for unsaturated fatty acids present in triglycerides. Many oils, fats, waxes, and phospholipids are employed as excipients in cosmetics and personal care products. Antioxidants such as carotenoids, retinoids, and tocopherols are used for their antioxidant properties because of their importance in therapeutic care. For skin care, the most important are oils with high contents of linoleic and α-linolenic acid which reduce the formation of eczemas or atopic dermatitis. These essential fatty acids incorporate into the cell membranes and regenerate the damaged lipid barrier of epidermis and restrict water loss. The unsaturated fatty acids show prominent healing effects on skin inflammation and are used in various cosmetic products. Mineral oils and waxes are also used in several products due to their property of skin tolerance, protection, cleansing, and viscosity. As cosmeceutical formulation, the nanoformulations are effective against irritated and inflamed skin and effective for therapy of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. The lipid nanoparticles offer advantages of chemical stability and good skin compatibility that can be used for protection against radiation and aging.
