Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural products could be secondary metabolites or derivatives from organisms including marine and non-organisms. Marine natural products containing active ingredients play a main regulatory role in numerous biological fields, such as anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-aging etc. Currently, incorporated marine products in skin beauty products are increasing use for skin care and beauty, with functions such as cosmeceuticals, nutricosmetics, skin photoprotection, sunscreen, skin-whitening, skin-lightening, skin-depigmentation, anti-wrinkle, anti-acne, skin hydrating as well anti-oxidant and anti-ageing reagents. This Special Issue mostly focuses on such marine-derived natural products and their analogs that have shown physiological or pharmacological activity in skin-whitening and sunscreen applictions. The main focus of this Special Issue is on the bioactivities of the marine active components, their mechanistic mode of action and their potential use or perspectives in skin health. We aim to publish original research articles and review articles in this Special Issue.
