Cosmetics from Marine Sources

Dear Colleagues,

Marine organisms are a highly diverse, renewable and abundant source of compounds. Some of them are unique compounds, having structural and biological properties not found in terrestrial species. The interest of the cosmetic industry in the development of novel skin care products with bioactive properties and nutricosmetics from marine sources is increasing.

This Special Issue "Cosmetics from Marine Sources" is aimed at presenting the utilization of compounds from marine organisms and their incorporation in cosmetic products, to provide either technological functions or biological beneficial effects on human skin. This overview of the current knowledge in this field is provided through original papers, reviews and short communications.
