Nutricosmetics: A brief overview

Irene Dini et al. Phytother Res. 2019 Dec.

Abstract

The nutricosmetics are products and ingredients that act as nutritional supplements to care skin, nails, and hair natural beauty. They work from the inside to promote beauty from within. Nutricosmetic is the latest trend in the beauty industry. This tendency rapidly gained many followers because it fits with the modern culture: Today, consumers are very careful with the food that they introduce into their body, and there is also an increasing demand for natural products able to enhance one's health and beauty without side effects and significant traction before use. However, many nutricosmetic products are considered effective due to the historical use and word of mouth. Comprehensive analysis of the global nutricosmetics market is conducted considering form, end-user applications, and some product components such as collagen, peptides, proteins, vitamins, carotenes, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acid are reported. Plant extract ingredients used in nutricosmetic are also described.

Keywords: hair care product; key market segments; nail care product; nutricosmetics; regulation; skin care product.
