摘要

The cosmetic industry is more concerned about the environmental, economic, and social impacts of the manufacturing and applications of cosmetic products. In the formulation of cosmetics, sustainability is addressed via sourcing and selection of the raw materials, which is achieved by replacing the synthetic chemical ingredients with sustainable natural alternatives. Therefore, herbal and natural cosmetics have gained huge recognition among the consumers who are more concerned about their health with beauty. A range of cosmetic products are available, and among them, skin cleanser is important as basic tool for self-care. Facial cleansers can be categorized into cream-based, gel-based, fluid-based, and powered-based. Skin-lightening and anti-aging agents like alpha-arbutin, ligninolytic enzymes (laccase, manganese peroxidase, lignin peroxidase), cytidine inhibitors, and all polyphenols extracted from natural resources are used in fairness creams, moisturizers, and sunscreens. Sunscreens are developed as inorganic blockers and organic absorbers to deal with skin premature aging due to UV radiations. All depigmentation agents like hydroquinine, kojic acid, and retinoic acid have wide applications in skin-lightening products. The natural active agents from different sustainable natural resources have been added in the cosmeceuticals to achieve the desired health benefits in accordance with sustainable development goals. Cosmetic formulations with natural active ingredients such as polyphenols, proteins, amino acids, natural colorant extracts, Gaur gur (GG)-based nanomaterial and nano-emulsion of arbutin loaded with coumaric acid have become widespread in cosmetic industry. Natural colorants gained attention in the cosmetic industry. These are extracted from plants leaves, flowers, roots, etc. In this chapter, we will discuss in detail the advancements in cosmetic science accordance with sustainable development goals via replacement of synthetic chemicals with natural, eco-friendly, and biodegradable alternatives.
