Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

Abstract

In order to promote sustainability and environmentally friendly practices, the chapter delves into medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP) extracts, their phytochemical, and their integration with novel technology aimed to promote applicability in cosmetic formulations. Huge progress is being made in replacing harnessing solvent with green substitutions, and increasing extraction process efficiency by manipulating parameters. Consequently, MAP extracts have complexed chemical profile and significant biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, etc. MAPs are accelerating the revolution as environmentally benign materials with prominent usage in cosmetic industry. This chapter also emphasizes the significance of MAP extracts collaboration with nanoparticles (1–100 nm) as creative solutions being developed to leverage delivery of active ingredients, causing site-specificity, enhancing biocompatibility, or the drug-loading capacity. Therefore, the combination of MAP-derived nanoliposomes, nanocarriers such as ultradeformable vesicles have significant impact in upgrading the skin penetration of drugs and efficacy of anti-ageing performances of some metabolites. Tocoferol in transfersome (<100 nm), has great properties with entrapment potentiality of up to 90%. Such potential gives formulations another dimension, representing them as an eco-friendly source of materials for cosmetics.
