Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To date, a significant number of pharmaceuticals and dermatocosmetic products have natural compounds as their main active ingredients, available in various forms of extracts (standardized or not) or as pure phytochemicals. Furthermore, there is growing use of these products among the population. The connection between the antioxidant activity of natural compounds and their multitude of beneficial effects for health and dermatocosmetology is strongly validated and substantiated.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest findings on natural antioxidants that can be used in the pharmaceutical and dermatocosmetic fields. Submissions should include studies on active phytochemicals, whether in their pure form or as standardized extracts, that show positive results in managing acute and/or chronic pathologies. Additionally, natural antioxidant molecules that benefit the skin and hair, from both medical and esthetic perspectives, should be reported. The potential interactions of natural antioxidant compounds with synthetic molecules, whether they potentiate or inhibit their effects, should be detailed. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms of antioxidant effects and biological activities should be thoroughly explored.
We welcome experimental and clinical research papers, as well as in-depth reviews, for this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Corina Danciu
