20.500.12556/RUL-169761 Marine cosmetics and the blue bioeconomy from sourcing to success stories As the global population continues to grow, so does the demand for longer, healthier lives and environmentally responsible choices. Consumers are increasingly drawn to naturally sourced products with proven health and wellbeing benefits. The marine environment presents a promising yet underexplored resource for the cosmetics industry, offering bioactive compounds with the potential for safe and biocompatible ingredients. This manuscript provides a comprehensive overview of the potential of marine organisms for cosmetics production, highlighting marine-derived compounds and their applications in skin/hair/oral-care products, cosmeceuticals and more. It also lays down critical safety considerations and addresses the methodologies for sourcing marine compounds, including harvesting, the biorefinery concept, use of systems biology for enhanced product development, and the relevant regulatory landscape. The review is enriched by three case studies: design of macroalgal skincare products in Iceland, establishment of a microalgal cosmetics spin-off in Italy, and the utilization of marine proteins for cosmeceutical applications. bioactive compounds cosmeceuticals marine organisms natural origin natural sources biorefinery cosmetics marine biotechnology natural product chemistry Earth sciences aquatic science biotechnology materials science bioaktivne spojine kozmecevtika morski organizmi naravni izvor naravni viri biorafinerija kozmetika morska biotehnologija kemija naravnih izdelkov biotehnologija znanost o okolju true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-06-09 09:52:30 2025-06-09 09:52:36 2025-11-17 09:54:17 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 50 str. iss. 12, art. 111339 Vol. 27 Dec. 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 001.891:502/504 2589-0042 10.1016/j.isci.2024.111339 216306179 1-s2.0-S2589004224025641-main.pdf 1-s2.0-S2589004224025641-main.pdf 1 86AFF3BF72415E6BF58326ABFDE64D27 ecba7a149aa5682f3dde8868671d8593779125636dbd7f7cef536802c254b901 aff9f474-4505-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=211433 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004224025641 0 8e186b5f-4505-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=211431 https://www.cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S2589-0042(24)02564-1 1 3c1aef82-4505-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=211430 Fakulteta za farmacijo 0 0 0
