Functional cosmetics (nanobiotechnological input)

Fabíola Ornellas de Araújo

Consumers want to direct the benefits that come from nature, among other means of knowledge, to their families. They are seeking to associate the cost of the finished cosmetic product with the benefit it brings to human body health. This research is a continuation of scientist Araújo's studies, who used the patented nanobiotechnological input (Araújo & Giudici, 2018), which was used in the natural formulation (Revitalizing nanobiotechnological algae body spray), as described in the chapter. However, this completely natural and innovative input can be employed in numerous pharmaceutical formulations. The patent provides detailed descriptions of this innovation. With regard to contemporary consumers, there is a growing awareness of using more natural, sustainable, and healthy pharmaceutical inputs. Therefore, there has been an increasing demand for natural, vegan, and/or organic products. This research is of fundamental importance given the current consumer awareness. As a result, there has been a growing demand for pharmaceutical formulations that are more biocompatible with the body and have labels describing no harm to nature (the environment) and no animal testing (Araújo & Giudici, 2018).
