Renewable Sources: Applications in Personal Care Formulations
Open accessAbstract
A global tendency for products considered environmentally sustainable, and ecologically obtained led the industry related to personal care formulations to fund the research and the development of personal care/cosmetics containing ingredients from natural resources. Furthermore, consumers are aware of environmental and sustainability issueans, thus not harming the environment represents a key consideration when developing a new cosmetic ingredient. In this study we review some examples of active ingredients or raw materials used in cosmetics/personal care/biomedical products that are coming from either through biotechnological systems, or as byproducts of several industries. A skin formulation containing biosynthetic actives, prepared by us and the study regarding its dermocosmetic properties are also described. The need for the standardization processes, the safety assessment tools, the improvement of the exploitation methods of these renewable sources in order the production to be ecologically and economically better are also discussed.

Biosurfactants have the advantage of being absorbed gradually.
“and have the advantage of being absorbed gradually [25].”
From Innovative Approaches to an Eco-Friendly Cosmetic Industry: A Review of Sustainable Ingredients (2024) · cites this paper as [25]
The Introduction identifies gradual adsorption as an advantage of biosurfactants over chemically synthesized surfactants. Adsorption means attachment to a surface; the passage does not say biosurfactants are absorbed gradually. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSaccharomyces cerevisiae can use xylose (extracted from plants) to produce fatty alcohols, acting as emulsifiers and lubricants in the cosmetic industry.
“For example, Saccharomyces cerevisiae can use xylose (extracted from plants) to produce fatty alcohols, acting as emulsifiers and lubricants in the cosmetic industry [25].”
From Innovative Approaches to an Eco-Friendly Cosmetic Industry: A Review of Sustainable Ingredients (2024) · cites this paper as [25]
The Introduction reports that an engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain produced the fatty alcohol 1-hexadecanol from xylose, and says fatty alcohols are used in emulsifiers, lubricants and cosmetics. It does not say that the xylose used was extracted from plants; the claim also omits the engineered-strain qualification. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe most abundant by-products of coffee are chlorogenic acid and caffeine, which have the potential to act as antioxidant compounds and adjuvants to improve the efficacy of sunscreens.
“Additionally, the most abundant by-products of coffee are chlorogenic acid and caffeine, which have the potential to act as antioxidant compounds and adjuvants to improve the efficacy of sunscreens [25,91,92].”
From Innovative Approaches to an Eco-Friendly Cosmetic Industry: A Review of Sustainable Ingredients (2024) · cites this paper as [25]
The Introduction (page unavailable) describes antioxidant activity in coffee-silverskin formulations and improved sunscreen performance with spent coffee grounds and green coffee oil. It does not identify chlorogenic acid or caffeine as the most abundant coffee by-products, or attribute the reported sunscreen benefit to those compounds. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
