Description
In this book, exceptional industrial and academic investigators have compiled scientific evidence showing the potential benefits of at
least some of these nutricosmetic ingredients, presenting known data with new information that will bring the state of nutricosmetic
science up to date and providing a foundation from which to generate new ideas and study.
The book begins with an excellent – and thorough – overview of skin biology, including an in-depth look at the structure and function of skin and its components,
an examination of ethnic skin, and overviews of both natural and premature skin aging. It discusses the ?beauty from within’ concept
and the integration of functional foods with cosmeceuticals. Vitamins and minerals that been reported to have healthful benefits for
the skin are also explored, as are antioxidants.
Foundation and proper hydration, crucial to skin smoothing, is discussed, as
are natural dietary ingredients; foundation boosting with amino acids; stimulating collagen synthesis; rice ceramides and tocotrienols;
and ingredients that support fibroblast proliferation and cell turnover.
Also covered are dietary ingredients that have been
shown to provide beneficial for overall skin health and appearance through a variety of mechanisms – e.g. probiotics, which may
function by supporting a healthy immune system and having beneficial effects on skin reactivity.
Audience
Scientists, technologists, nutritionists, marketing, and business people within the cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceutical and food industries.
