Enzymatic Synthesis of Bioactive Compounds with High Potential for Cosmeceutical Application

This research reviews how enzymes can be used to create natural ingredients for cosmetics and skin care products. Instead of harsh chemical processes, enzymes provide a gentle, environmentally-friendly way to modify natural compounds to make them more effective for skin care. The modified compounds show improved properties like better stability, absorption into skin, and enhanced beneficial effects. Impacts on everyday life: – Access to safer, more natural cosmetic and skin care products – Reduced environmental impact from cosmetic ingredient manufacturing – More effective anti-aging and skin-protecting ingredients – Better options for sensitive skin due to gentler, natural ingredients – Increased sustainability in the cosmetics industry
