“…These compounds have emollient, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties [150], which may explain the long traditional use of maripa oil for skin care, to prevent skin ageing, to stop alopecia and stimulate hair growth, to fight stretch marks, and to smoothen scarred skin [151][152]. It is also used as a massage oil to bring relief in rheumatic parts of the body [152]. For these reasons, M. maripa oil is commonly included in soaps, moisturizers and other skin care products, rejuvenation and anti-ageing formulations, creams for treating acne, as well as shampoos and hair conditioners [148,152].…”

People have probably used plant-based substances to improve their appearance since the existence of mankind. The first documented use of cosmetics dates back to 3,000 BC from ancient Egypt, but it is safe to say that this custom has been (and still is) an integral part of daily life in all civilizations. The initial use of plantderived makeup -sometimes supplemented with paints and dyes -has come full circle and is back with the contemporary trend of using beauty products that are mainly derived from plant sources. The Republic of Suriname (South America) is renowned for its extensive ethnopharmacological knowledge and unique plant biodiversity that provides ample raw material that can be processed into cosmetics and cosmeceuticals. This paper gives some historical highlights on the use of makeup throughout the world with the emphasis on naturally-derived products; focuses on the herbal cosmetics industry in Suriname; extensively addresses the scientific rationale for incorporating extracts from plants in cosmetics and cosmeceuticals in the country; and concludes with the conditions to establish a beauty products industry in Suriname.

“…is an Amazonian palm tree with a fruit that produces oil traditionally used in cooking. The fruit has great economic and nutritional potential, as its oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleic and palmitic, and phenolic compounds (Balick 1986;Queiroz and Bianco, 2009;Finco et al 2012;Pereira et al 2013;Santos et al 2017). Traditionally, the oil is extracted by boiling the fruit pulp (Cymerys 2005).…”

Development, characterization and stability of microemulsionated formulations of bacaba, Oenocarpus bacaba oil

et al. 2019

Advances in nanotechnology, combined with the use of natural products, represent a promissing research field. Brazil is a country of a rich biodiversity, especially in the Amazon forest. Fruits commonly used by local communities, such as bacaba (Oenocarpus bacaba), are potentially important for prospection of industrial applications of natural products. In nanotechnology, microemulsions stand out for providing a modified release to conveyed substances. This work aimed to develop microemulsionated formulations of bacaba oil, characterize them and evaluate their stability. We determined the HLB (hydrophile-lipophilic balance) of bacaba oil for formulation development. Six formulations were selected from pseudoternary diagrams, which indicated the proportions of surfactants, aqueous phase and bacaba oil. The viability of these formulations was evaluated through stability tests. We provided the rheological characterization of the formulations, evaluated their potential antioxidant activity through the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging method, and determined the hydrodynamic diameter of the droplets. The microemulsions were stable throughout the test period. Droplet diameter was below 200 nm, and the microemulsions were characterized as newtonian fluids, presenting an increase in antioxidant activity when compared with the diluted oil. Our results confirm the potential of bacaba oil in microemulsionated formulation as a suitable carrier for active compounds.

“…From its fruit kernel and mesocarp, an oil of great utility in food, cosmetic and soap industries is extracted. It is also used in the production of bio-fuels (Bezerra, 2011;Miranda et al, 2001;Pereira et al, 2013).…”

We characterized three different morphotypes of inajá (Attalea maripa (Aublet.) Mart.) based on the stipe foliar insertion: columnar (morphotype M1), semi-spiraled (morphotype M2) and spiraled (morphotype M3) insertion. The present study quantified the number of leaves, the production of bunches and the DBH of the matrices and made morphometric analyses of the fruits and morphological characterization of the seedlings, for each morphotype. Bunches bearing A. maripa fruits, originating from natural regeneration, were collected from silvopastoral systems distributed throughout six counties of the state of Roraima, in order to study their morphometry. Four replicates of twenty diaspores were sown according to the Seed Analysis Rules, for seedling morphology study. The semi-spiraled morphotype presented the highest values of size and weight of fruits and seeds (diaspores). Morphotype M2 is likely to be an intermediate form of a widely variable character within A. maripa. The most frequent inflorescences amongst the studied morphotypes showed to be predominantly female, androgynous and predominantly male inflorescences were also found along with more than one type of inflorescence per individual. There is a wide variability as to the coloring of the fruits regardless of their origin. Attalea maripa seedlings did not present the typical characteristics described for the genus Attalea.
