Natural Products for Cosmetic Applications

Abstract

Natural products provide an interesting and largely unexplored source for the development of potential new cosmetic ingredients [...]

Leveraging machine learning models for peptide–protein interaction prediction

“…Previous reviews have mainly summarized ML/DL models for predicting PPIs. [19][20][21][22][23][24] They have traditionally categorized computational methods for predicting PPIs into two main classes: sequence-based and structure-based approaches. Sequence-based methods extract information only from sequence data, whereas structure-based methods rely on the information derived from peptide-protein complex structures.…”

Smart Tissue Carriers for Innovative Cosmeceuticals and Nutraceuticals

“…Therefore, and first of all, young people are looking for natural and technologically oriented skincare cosmetics (the so-called cosmeceuticals) to be used by the contemporary oral intake of immune-boosting diet supplements (the so-called nutraceuticals). These products, formulated by the same active ingredients and are obtained from the agro-food sector and plants, should have the aim of obtaining the so-called Beauty from Within (Beauty from the Inside and Outside) context [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Thus, the cosmetic active ingredients that are embedded in the right carriers have not only the capability of penetrating skin and mucous membranes for the purpose of maintaining the flexibility and hydration of their structures, but they are also effective and safe, thus resulting in skin and environmentally friendly properties.…”

Phytochemical Composition, Anti-Inflammatory Property, and Anti-Atopic Effect of Chaetomorpha linum Extract

“…This expanding sector is renowned for its innovative approach, constantly searching for active molecules with improved properties to counteract undesired effects, primarily by integrating natural resources into cosmetic formulations. Natural resources present numerous advantages, including environmental friendliness, reduced toxicity, noncarcinogenic properties, accessibility, minimal side effects, and economic benefits [32,33]. With a specific focus on its anti-inflammatory properties, the objective was to repurpose and add value to C. linum's strategic and valuable biomass.…”
