Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cosmetics have been manufactured by the use of synthetic chemical, but the potential harmful effects of synthetic chemicals are considered one of the causes of skin diseases and have recently gained attention. On the contrary, fermented foods and/or products, including lactic acid bacteria, yeast and koji, have traditionally been utilized as cosmetics for a long time. However, the scientific mechanisms underlying their effects on the skin have not been fully elucidated. In this Special Issue, we collect recent scientific findings on the relationship between cosmetics derived from fermented foods and/or products and skin health. Scientific articles describing the effect of cosmetics derived from fermented foods and/or products on skin health, the composition and/or interaction of the ingredients of cosmetics with fermented foods and/or products, and other related themes are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Hiroshi Kitagaki
Guest Editor
