“…In order to limit their impact on the marine environment, many countries have attempt to ban the presence of these microplastics in rinse-off cosmetic products (United States in 2015, France and South Korea in 2016, Canada and New Zealand in 2017) [10][11][12]. These laws and decrees have led manufacturers to develop sustainable solutions with the use of particles or beads, for example in exfoliation products, such as natural organic ingredients including plant or fruits hulls, kernels seeds, microcrystalline cellulose or the use of mineral particles such as silica or pumice stone [13,14]. If these additives have the benefit to being natural and biodegradable materials compared to conventional polymers [15,16], they nonetheless also present drawbacks because of their irregular shapes and size; they are generally colored, not or poorly stable in aqueous medium, with an inadequate hardness and their commercial quantity and availability are rather limited [17].…”

Design of Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) Microbeads with Tunable Functional Properties and High Biodegradability in Seawater

Commercial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBHV) and poly(3hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) were used to prepare microbeads, with diameter ranging from 50 to 100 µm, by an emulsion-evaporation process. The properties of the beads reveal that the elaboration process enables the formation of spherical particles, that the crystallinity of the former polymer is not altered during the process and that the surface roughness of the particles can be tuned by changing the nature of the lateral chain in the PHA structure, in good correlation with its crystalline behavior. The mechanical properties of the different PHA beads are also found to be intimely linked with the crystalline content of the beads, with modulus varying between 1 to 7 GPa. All these properties are also governing the degradation behavior of these materials, as tested under marine environment. With a rapid degradation, similar to cellulose, and a degradation rate correlated with the crystalline content, these results emphasize the interest in developing PHA materials with tunable functions and degradation properties.

“…Interestingly, Weronika Prus and Justyna Kozlowska (2018) manufactured alginate microspheres to evaluate their effect on peeling products. Results showed no skin redness, itching or dryness after application, but that dead skin cells were removed [141]. J. Kozlowska et al (2019) prepared alginate films with hydro‐glycolic Calendula officinalis flower extract encapsulated in gelatine microspheres with the aim of controlling the quality of the skin barrier.…”

The term biopolymer refers to materials obtained by chemically modifying natural biological substances or producing them through biotechnological processes. They are biodegradable, biocompatible and non‐toxic. Due to these advantages, biopolymers have wide applications in conventional cosmetics and new trends and have emerged as essential ingredients that function as rheological modifiers, emulsifiers, film‐formers, moisturizers, hydrators, antimicrobials and, more recently, materials with metabolic activity on skin. Developing approaches that exploit these features is a challenge for formulating skin, hair and oral care products and dermatological formulations. This article presents an overview of the use of the principal biopolymers used in cosmetic formulations and describes their sources, recently derived structures, novel applications and safety aspects of the use of these molecules.
