Bioactive ingredients, in cosmetic

A wide range of vegetable and animal oils and fats are currently being used as bases and bioactive ingredients in many cosmetic applications. Typical applications of lipids in cosmetics include emollients and specific ingredients for skin care and treatment, hair care, and make-up/decorative products. The type of lipids commonly used in cosmetics include TAGs, emulsifiers, waxes, and structured lipids. The cosmetics industry was more than 25 billion in 2000, and new products are continually introduced in the market. [Pg.3376]

The ability of textile materials to carry bioactive ingredients can be used to micropackage cosmetic ingredients on to textiles. Microcapsnles snitable for cosmetotextiles have mean diameters typically ranging from 1 to 10 pm. This compares to a range of 5-30 pm for a single textile fiber, from abont 5 pm for microfibers to abont 30 pm for coarse wool. Microcapsnles can be modified in size, mechanical robustness, and permeability to customize the release profile to fit the intended functionality best. [Pg.187]

In this section, the most significant and innovative groups of bioactive ingredients are commented, taking into account the methods by which they are synthesized and obtained, their activity on a biochemical level and their cosmetic use. [Pg.380]

Bioencapsulation is a technology, being used since three decades, which uses bioactive molecules to be inserted and immobilized on specific supports (matrices). Encapsulation technology is now well developed and accepted within the pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic, foods, and printing industries. The encapsulation of active components has become very attractive being adequate for food ingredients as well as for chanicals, drugs, or cosmetics to be released in a controlled way. [Pg.618]

Traditionally considered of benefit to the complexion and to prolong life mei rang yan nian), lycium fruit has been consumed for 2000 years in China for these purposes in recent years it is also used successfully in the topical treatment of bums, ulcers, bedsores, frostbite, canker sores, and fumncles. Its high contents of free amino acids, P-carotene, and bioactive polysaccharides as well recent evidence of its ability to increase skin hydroxyproline levels and at the same time with no known human toxicity make it a potentially useful cosmetic ingredient. [Pg.431]
