Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human skin is always exposed to ultraviolet radiation, which can cause damage, darken, and wrinkle skin. In recent days, significant development has been achieved in marine derived compounds for their utilization in cosmeceutical development due to their unique and potential uses as cures for various skin-based diseases.
Secondary metabolites, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, peptides and enzymes, lipids and phenolic compounds from marine organisms have effectively protected against UV-B-induced damages in skin. These compounds potentially develop as cosmeceuticals in the areas of anti-photoagaing, anti-wrinkle, UV blocking agents, skin whitening, etc.
As Guest Editors of this Special Issue, we cordially invite scientists from around the world to contribute original research articles, long and mini review papers, short notes, and opinions according to their expertise related to "Anti-Photoagaing and Photo-Protective Compounds from Marine Organisms". This Special Issue is aimed at collecting literature on the below-mentioned keyword topics, which can significantly increase our basic understanding of marine-derived compounds in cosmeceutical product development and increases the value of marine products at the industrial level.
