Abstract
With the rapid development of the medical beauty industry, functional skin care products become increasingly popular. The functions of cosmetics mainly depend on the active ingredients, which are mainly proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, phenolic acids, terpenes, vitamins, and amino acids. These active ingredients endow cosmetics with skin repairing, moistening, whitening, UV protecting, and anti-aging effects. They are mainly obtained through biological extraction and chemical synthesis. In recent years, with the development of biomanufacturing, microbial synthesis of active ingredients in cosmetics has been widely studied and applied. This article reviews the research progresses in the production of natural products including collagens, peptides, hyaluronic acid, polyphenols, terpenes, and vitamins by microbial synthetic biotechnology. Moreover, this article highlighted the synthetic pathways, metabolic regulation, and prospects of the natural products, providing a reference for subsequent microbial synthesis of active ingredients in cosmetics.
