Biocosmetics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biotransformation of Waste Biomass into High Value Biochemicals

Abstract

The use of cosmetics has taken a new course in recent years due to greater access to information and understanding by consumers, who are much more interested in the origin, safety, and sustainability of the products they purchase. A new class of personal care products referred to as biocosmetics have arisen through new technologies, such as nano- and biotechnology, and considering the concept of sustainable development. This class of products is safe for humans, obtained in harmony with the environment, using a variety of industrial wastes as raw materials, thus generating high-valued products and removing a large amount of pollutants. This chapter deals with the production of biocosmetics from textile and food industries, oils, organics, fruit and vegetable wastes, among others. Described description is given as to how these new technologies are revolutionizing the use of known materials which have been exploited for hundreds of years.
