Background

The convergence of food and cosmetics in the beauty industry is a major trend in the recent years, gaining an enormous importance on consumer habits including the diet, the nutritional supplement intake and food-based cosmetics.

Scope and approach

An overview about the concept of nutricosmetics is here presented, and how food and skin convergence trends the cosmetic industry. Examples of recently developed products are given.

Key findings

Food ingredients are being included in cosmetics and other personal care products with the aim of bringing into cosmetic products certain benefits of food ingredients. Moreover, due to the recommendation of the circular economy implementation, an approach to economic growth that is in line with sustainable environmental and economic development, a large number of food industry wastes are being recovered as added-value products by more sustainable and innovative extraction processes to be incorporated into cosmetic products amongst others. Although the potential of bioactive compounds extracted from food is already known, the specific biological activity is now being studied and reported.

Conclusions

Natural active food-derived ingredients are marketed as having several benefits on the skin. Their incorporation in food supplements and cosmetics is a reality already marketed. The truth about the benefits of food ingredients in cosmetics is not always properly discussed. The trend of “beauty from within” by oral supplementation is now accompanying the other trend that is “from the kitchen table to the skin”, that refers to the possibility to create cosmetics with the ordinary ingredients one have in the kitchen.

喂养皮肤：食品和化妆品融合的新趋势

背景

美容行业中食品和化妆品的融合是近年来的主要趋势，对包括饮食，营养补充剂摄入和食品类化妆品在内的消费习惯越来越重要。

范围和方法

本文介绍了有关营养化妆品的概念，以及食品和皮肤的融合如何在化妆品行业发展趋势。给出了最近开发的产品的示例。

主要发现

食品成分被包括在化妆品和其他个人护理产品中，目的是使食品成分具有某些益处。此外，由于实施循环经济的建议（一种与可持续的环境和经济发展相一致的经济增长方法），通过更可持续和创新的提取工艺，大量食品工业废物被作为增值产品回收。并入化妆品等。尽管人们已经知道从食物中提取生物活性化合物的潜力，但目前正在研究和报道其特定的生物活性。

结论

市售天然活性食品成分在皮肤上具有多种益处。将它们掺入食品补充剂和化妆品中已经成为现实。关于化妆品中食品成分的益处的真相并不总是得到适当讨论。现在，通过口服补充剂“由内而外”的流行趋势伴随着另一种趋势，即“从餐桌到皮肤”，这是指可以用厨房中的普通成分制作化妆品的可能性。
