ABSTRACT

The cosmetic industries are one of the biggest revenue-earning centers in the world. With concerns regarding health and environmental pollution increasing among consumers, the cosmetic industries are trying to explore new technologies to manufacture healthy and eco- sustainable affordable cosmetic products with enriched quality. With heightening demand of organic cosmetics, industries are searching for novel biological alternatives of chemical compounds in cosmetics and perfumes. Thus, many industries worldwide are now focusing on producing cosmetics by using microorganisms like bacteria, fungi and algae. The discovered spectrum of biological compounds derived from these microorganisms are used abundantly in cosmetic preparations, and exploring expanding biotechnological research and knowledge,many other potential bioactive compounds are yet to be identified. This review aims in highlighting the prospects and inclusions of different types of biological compounds obtained from microorganisms like antioxidants, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, pigments, organic acids and bio-surfactants in various skin-compatible cosmetic formulations. Keywords - algae, bacteria, cosmetic formulations, cosmetic industries, fungi
