Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, a hot topic in the cosmetic industry is ‘cosmeceuticals’. This term represents the fastest growing area of natural personal care which intends to enhance skin health through ingredients that provide additional health properties or benefits. In fact, they can be considered as cosmetics but contain bioactive compounds that exert different effects on skin function. Generally, the bioactive compounds which are used in this field, such as vitamins or phenolic compounds, are obtained from natural sources, and although the effects of bioactive compounds in individual cosmeceuticals may be small, their magnitude can be increased, synergistically, by combining materials, especially those with different mechanisms of action. For these reasons, the main aim of the Special Issue on “Bioactive Compounds for Cosmeceuticals against Skin Diseases” is to be an open forum where researchers may share their investigations and findings in this promising field and, thanks to the open access platform, increase their visibility and the chances to interact with industries and their production systems. Contributions to this issue, both in the form of original research or review articles, may cover all aspects of bioactive compounds for cosmeceuticals; studies with multidisciplinary input, offering new methodologies or targets, are particularly welcome.
