Feature Papers in Cosmetics in 2025

Dear Colleagues,

As Editor-in-Chief of Cosmetics, I am pleased to announce this 2025 Special Issue. As in previous years, this Special Issue will be a collection of high-quality papers from Editorial Board members, Guest Editors, and leading researchers invited by the Editorial Office and the Editor-in-Chief. Science in the field of cosmetics is rapidly expanding, and many areas are of great interest for us. One of the most thrilling developments in recent years is the rise in personalized skincare solutions. Leveraging cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) and genomic research, scientists are crafting bespoke skincare regimens tailored to individual genetic profiles.

Sustainability continues to be a paramount focus, with researchers unveiling novel methods to minimize environmental impact. Biodegradable packaging, eco-friendly ingredients, and innovative recycling techniques are at the forefront of this movement, setting new standards for responsible beauty practices.

Moreover, the exploration of novel ingredients continues to captivate researchers and consumers alike. From marine biotechnology harnessing the power of algae to harnessing the regenerative properties of plant stem cells, these innovations offer new avenues for skincare and cosmetic formulations that are both effective and ethically sourced. The intersection between technology and beauty is another fascinating realm. The year 2025 heralds a new chapter in the cosmetics industry, defined by personalized solutions, sustainable practices, technological integration, and groundbreaking ingredients, and we hope many of you will embrace this project and contribute your outstanding papers to this Special Issue.

Prof. Dr. Enzo Berardesca
