Abstract

The marine environment is home to a variety of macro and microorganisms, each of which has evolved special metabolic strategies to ensure its survival in a variety of hostile environments. This has led to the biosynthesis of a variety of secondary metabolites, each of which has a cosmeceuticals function. Despite having a high level of biological and chemical variety, the marine environment provides an underutilized resource for the development of novel goods. The market for new cosmetic ingredients is expanding, and current trends have led to a greater demand for products sourced from the environment. These factors, along with growing awareness of the negative effects of chronic ultraviolet exposure and a universal desire to improve cosmetic appearance, have contributed to these developments. Numerous new compounds found in maritime flora and wildlife have powerful and useful dermatological properties. Carotenoids and polyphenols, two secondary metabolites extracted from macroalgae, have shown antioxidant, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it has recently been shown that marine extremophilic bacteria produce bioactive exopolymeric compounds, some of which have found commercial success. This review provides an insight on cosmeceutical activities of an increasing number of such marine compounds that are developing and showing promise in the treatment of cosmetic skin issues such UV damage, ageing, and cutaneous dryness.
