Abstract

The cosmetics industry is one of the fastest growing markets in terms of searching for new ingredients. Recently, there has been a growing interest in products made during fermentation, which are being introduced into cosmetics with increasing frequency, creating a market that emphasizes the positive image of healthy, environmentally friendly components with a positive effect on skin. Scientists mainly focus on examining biological activity as well as the impact on changes in the production of bioactive ingredients in various plant species undergoing fermentation. The studies show that bioferments have scientifically proven anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effects, among other skin benefits. Due to the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, ecofriendly compounds are being sought. This group includes surfactants, which are also obtained by fermentation. Plant-based and microbial biosurfactants, due to their multifunctional properties, such as detergency, emulsifying, foaming, moisturizing, and antibacterial activity, can replace chemical surfactants in many skincare formulations. This review focuses especially on elucidating the importance of the bioferments and biosurfactants and their potential in the cosmetic industry.
