Abstract

Skin is our body's largest organ and is responsible for many functions including protection from environmental, mechanical, and pathogenic insult, regulation of moisture, sensation, and immune surveillance. The cosmetics and skincare industries focus on the care of healthy or healthy but damaged skin rather than solving disease states. However, contrary to popular opinion, the industry is highly regulated and skincare companies often resort to soft claims to describe the benefits of their products. Nonetheless, extensive research goes into the development of functional ingredients that can impart an observable benefit for the customer. An extensive knowledge of skin biology and a strong background in natural products chemistry are required when developing ingredients for modern skin care products.
