Nutricosmetics: A New Area of Cosmetic Product

Dear Colleagues,

Nutricosmetics manufacturers encourage an all-inclusive approach to beauty by offering "Inside & Out" combinations of supplements and cosmetic products for better beauty results. Nutricosmetic supplements work from within to aid beauty. Today, global sales of nutricosmetic products are growing slightly higher than that of dietary supplements and are expected to increase in the coming years. This trend has many followers because it aligns with consumer attention to diet and the growing demand for natural products that can improve beauty and health without side effects. Nutritional supplements or "beauty supplements" are offered in liquid and solid form. They contain molecules with a physiological or nutritional effect such as nutrients (minerals, vitamins, peptides, essential fatty acids, and polysaccharides) derived from food and botanical products (herbal and fruit extracts). This Special Issue has been designed to collect research articles and journals dealing with the study of natural active ingredients capable of rapidly producing beauty results for consumers, the validation of analytical procedures suitable for their characterization and dosage, the development of targeted delivery systems, the evaluation of the beauty properties of the natural product and new formulations of nutricosmeceutical products.
