“…P. lentiscus leaves contain flavonoids, phenolic acids such as catechin, β-glucogallin, quercitrin gallate, gallic acid and epicatechin [90][91][92]. Gallic acid and epicatechins, catechins are responsible for the potent tyrosinase inhibition capacity of P. lentiscus and could therefore be effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentation [93][94][95].…”

Applications for Marine Resources in Cosmetics

Abstract:Marine resources represent an interesting source of active ingredients for the cosmetics industry. Algae (macro and micro) are rich in proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins (A, B, and C) and oligo-elements such as copper, iron and zinc. All those active principles play roles in hydration, firming, slimming, shine and protection. Marine organisms inhabit a wide spectrum of habitats. Photo-protective compounds can be obtained from organisms subjected to strong light radiation, such as in tropical systems or in shallow water. In the same way, molecules with antioxidant potential can be obtained from microorganisms inhabiting extreme systems such as hydrothermal vents. For example, marine bacteria collected around deep-sea hydrothermal vents produce complex and innovative polysaccharides in the laboratory which are useful in cosmetics. There are many properties that will be put forward by the cosmetic industries.

“…Recently, other marine plants and their polyphenolic compounds have been identified as potential tyrosinase inhibitors, in assays using human cell lines. Lopes et al [69] demonstrated the inhibition of tyrosinase on both human and murine cells, using phenolic extracts containing flavonoids and tannins from the halophyte Pistacia lentiscus. It was thought that the high concentrations of flavonoids within its leaves are responsible for its anti-tyrosinase action [100], showing potential in the treatment of pigment-related issues; however, this is yet to be confirmed in vivo.…”

The marine environment represents an underexploited resource for the discovery of novel products, despite its high level of biological and chemical diversity. With increasing awareness of the harmful effects of chronic ultraviolet exposure, and a universal desire to improve cosmetic appearance, the market for new cosmetic ingredients is growing, and current trends have generated a greater demand for products sourced from the environment. A growing number of novel molecules from marine flora and fauna exhibit potent and effective dermatological activities. Secondary metabolites isolated from macroalgae, including carotenoids and polyphenols, have demonstrated antioxidant, anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory activities. In addition, marine extremophilic bacteria have recently been shown to produce bioactive exopolymeric molecules, some of which have been commercialized. Available data on their activities show significant antioxidant, moisturizing and anti-ageing activities, but a more focussed investigation into their mechanisms and applications is required. This review surveys the reported biological activities of an emerging and growing portfolio of marine molecules that show promise in the treatment of cosmetic skin problems including ultraviolet damage, ageing and cutaneous dryness.R esum e L'environnement marin repr esente une ressource sous-exploit ee pour la d ecouverte de nouveaux produits, malgr e son niveau elev e de diversit e biologique et chimique.

“…Compounds present in other mangrove species also exhibit interesting biological activities. Examples include halophytederived antioxidants that show little or no cytotoxicity (desirable characteristics in the food and cosmetic industries) [23] and the marine alkaloid ecteinascidin-743 (Trabectedin), isolated from the mangrove tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinata, which exhibits promising activity against melanomas and numerous carcinomas [24]. This drug is approved by the FDA and European Commission and is manufactured under the commercial name of Yondelis [25].…”
