Today, there is a rising demand and ongoing search for novel plant-derived phytochemicals in the cosmetic market owing to the growing consumer expectations worldwide for green and natural health products. Various plant ingredients, including polyphenols, oils, volatile oils, vitamins and other herbal extracts, have been extensively used in herbal cosmetics. Recent advances in encapsulation technologies have greatly improved their chemical stability, biocompatibility, skin permeability and dermocosmetic efficiency when applied topically. This comprehensive review summarizes the up-to-date information on encapsulated plant ingredients tailored for dermocosmetic application with a focus on the development of novel delivery systems. An overview of the commonly used techniques for carrier characterization, performance-related properties and toxicological evaluation is also included, which might provide guidance for researchers to select or develop appropriate assay systems. PolyphenolsPolyphenols are secondary metabolites in plants, and the presence of the array of phenolic hydroxyl groups makes them potent free radical scavengers and antioxidants, which are favoured in antiageing cosmetics [1]. Encapsulation techniques are primarily employed to stabilize the easily reducible polyphenolic compounds during storage and processing, thereby enabling their cosmetic/ pharmaceutical uses. A good example is quercetin, a flavonoid from Sophora japonica L. with a pronounced antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activity but with poor water solubility and low skin

“…The results confirmed the possibility to substitute potentially-hazardous substances with eco-friendly citric acid for cotton medical textiles. The antimicrobial performance of cotton fabrics was enhanced using core-shell nanoparticles consisting of (silver nanoparticles) SNPs as core and chitosan-O-methoxy polyethylene glycol (CTS-O-MPEG) as shell [230], methoxypolyethylene glycol-N-chitosan graft (MPEG-N-CTS) copolymer [231] and microwave radiation-cured alginate nano-capsules containing peppermint oil [232] for medical applications. Cotton fibres have also been functionalised to impart antibacterial activity by direct loading of SNPs [233] and by loading SNPs developed by a green approach using natural leaf extracts [234] for usage in medical and infection prevention applications.…”

Cotton is the most significant natural fibre and has been a preferred choice of the textile industry and consumers since the industrial revolution began. The share of man-made fibres, both regenerated and synthetic fibres, has grown considerably in recent times but cotton production has also been on the rise and accounts for about half of the fibres used for apparel and textile goods. To cotton's advantage, the premium attached to the presence of cotton fibre and the general positive consumer perception is well established, however, compared to commodity manmade fibres and high performance fibres, cotton has limitations in terms of its mechanical properties but can help to overcome moisture management issues that arise with performance apparel during active wear. This issue of Textile Progress aims to: i. Report on advances in cotton cultivation and processing as well as improvements to conventional cotton cultivation and ginning. The processing of cotton in the textile industry from fibre to finished fabric, cotton and its blends, and their applications in technical textiles are also covered. ii. Explore the economic impact of cotton in different parts of the world including an overview of global cotton trade. iii. Examine the environmental perception of cotton fibre and efforts in organic and genetically-modified (GM) cotton production. The topic of naturally-coloured cotton, post-consumer waste is covered and the environmental impacts of cotton cultivation and processing are discussed. Hazardous effects of cultivation, such as the extensive use of pesticides, insecticides and irrigation with fresh water, and consequences of the use of GM cotton and cotton fibres in general on the climate are summarised and the effects of cotton processing on workers are addressed. The potential hazards during cotton cultivation, processing and use are also included. iv. Examine how the properties of cotton textiles can be enhanced, for example, by improving wrinkle recovery and reducing the flammability of cotton fibre.

“…Nowadays, embedding fragrant micro‐/nanocapsules into textiles to fabricate aromatic textiles becomes more and more popular in textile finishing industry, and there are several approaches for fixation of fragrant micro‐/nanocapsules on the textiles: immersing, padding, coating, spraying, and printing . Parts of the systems mentioned above need to undergo a relatively high temperature which may cause the breakage of micro‐/nanocapsules during the aromatic finishing processes; thus, microwave curing and ultraviolet (UV) curing are used to alternate the thermal process helping to solve these problems.…”

Aromatic reservation is one of the key evaluation index of textiles which be finished with fragrant micro‐/nanocapsules, and some researches discover that when the fragrant micro‐/nanocapsules penetrating into the spacing of textiles, the resulting aromatic textiles own much better carrying capability of micro‐/nanocapsules. Based on these phenomena, hence in our research, the matching up between pore sizes of cotton textile and sizes of fragrant micro‐/nanocapsules is investigated systematically in order to reveal the size effect on the durability of fragrant micro‐/nanocapsules in cotton textile. Firstly, the pore sizes of cotton textile are analyzed by three different techniques: 3D X‐ray microscopy (Micro‐CT), nitrogen adsorption/desorption method (BET), and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) technique. Based on the pore sizes obtained from MIP technique, citronella oil/chitosan micro‐/nanocapsules with three corresponding sizes are prepared and then applied on cotton textiles through vacuum impregnation process. The pore sizes of cotton textile measured by MIP technique decrease from before finishing to after finishing with nanocapsules, which states that nanocapsules are entrapped inside the pores of cotton textile. Finally, the washing durability of aromatic cotton textile is evaluated by headspace–solid‐phase microextraction (HS‐SPME) technique combining with GC‐MS which can keep the fragrant micro‐/nanocapsules unbroken to simulate the “real” sniffing environment. The results show that aromatic cotton textile treated with nanocapsules possesses much better washing durability, which is met up with the results of pore size measurements: More nanocapsules are penetrating into the spacing of cotton textile fibers even the pores in fibers.
