Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The modern cosmetic industry and scientific community focuses on the investigation and manufacture of more advanced, environmentally friendly, sustainable, efficient, and safe functional materials and technologies. These include bioactive compounds, excipients, natural substances, extracts, nanoparticles, stem cells, exosomes, delivery systems, biotechnological methods and other innovative manufacturing processes. This Special Issue, entitled “New Insights in Functional Cosmetic materials and Industrial Manufacture”, will provide an overview of recent advances in the research, development and industrial application of synthetic and natural multifunctional ingredients, innovative technologies and manufacturing methods in cosmetic formulations, cosmeceutical products, and medical devices with skin care and dermo-pharmaceutical properties. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, raw materials, methods and/or applications in the following fields:
- Cosmetic ingredients
- Bioactive compounds
- Biotechnological materials
- Nanomaterials
- Re/Upcycling substances and processes
- Skin care formulations
- Cosmeceutical products
- Delivery systems
- Efficacy techniques
- Safety models
- Manufacturing processes
- Industrial applications
