Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The cosmetic industry exploits biotechnology to revolutionize product development and efficacy. Biotech processes enable the synthesis of natural advanced and tailored ingredients, enhancing sustainability and reducing environmental impact. From bioengineered peptides and proteins, exploration of natural sources, to microbial fermentation for active compounds, biotech offers innovative solutions for care and beauty. With biotechnology, the cosmetic industry has entered a new era of science-driven innovation, delivering safer, more sustainable, and high-performance products.
This Special Issue on the 'Application of Biotechnology in the Cosmetic Industry' invites high-quality original contributions encompassing experiments, theories, modeling, and review articles. We aim to explore recent advancements in cosmetic formulations derived from biotechnological processes, including peptides, proteins, extracts from natural sources, and compounds obtained through fermentation. Additionally, we welcome studies focusing on the encapsulation of bioactive ingredients. Research related to the biological characterization and safety assessment of these novel cosmetic formulations is also of significant interest for this Special Issue.
