Description
Nutritional cosmetics is an emerging area of intense research and marketing and encompasses the concept that orally consumed dietary
products can support healthier and more beautiful skin. There are numerous dietary ingredients now being marketed for their potential
skin health and beauty benefits and many of these are supported by growing scientific evidence. The purpose of this book is to compile
the scientific evidence showing the potential benefits of some of the more extensively researched ingredients. As far as possible, information
about the benefits of ingredients consumed orally for skin health is presented.
The information contained in this book will help
provide insights into an emerging research area and provide scientific background for the potential clinical effectiveness for some of
the better researched nutricosmetic ingredients.
