“…There is growing societal awareness on the importance of skin health and integrity to body homeostasis, resulting in a massive demand for effective, eco-friendly dermatological products that delay skin aging and improve skin function and repair capacity. Today, the cosmeceutical industry is among the fastest-growing and most profitable industries worldwide [ 87 ]. Therefore, significant development projects and research that aim to introduce these marine algae into the cosmeceutical products are ongoing.…”

“…Human skin is the outermost anatomical barrier, which acts as a fence that protects the internal organs of the body against physical, chemical, and biological detractors [ 85 , 86 ]. Chronic exposure to environmental stressors triggers a series of biological outcomes, including the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory responses, and the expression of matrix metalloproteinases, all of which impair skin functions and repair capacity, turning it thinner and more fragile while gradually losing its natural elasticity and altering its hydration process [ 87 ]. Consequently, the skin continuously experiences aging [ 88 ].…”

The skin is the outermost anatomical barrier, which plays a vital role in the maintenance of internal homeostasis and protection against physical, chemical, and biological detractors. Direct contact with various stimuli leads to several physiological changes that are ultimately important for the growth of the cosmetic industry. Due to the consequences of using synthetic compounds in skincare and cosmeceutical-related industries, the pharmaceutical and scientific communities have recently shifted their focus to natural ingredients. The nutrient-rich value of algae, which are some of the most interesting organisms in marine ecosystems, has attracted attention. Secondary metabolites isolated from seaweeds are potential candidates for a wide range of economic applications, including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. An increasing number of studies have focused on polyphenol compounds owing to their promising biological activities against oxidation, inflammation, allergies, cancers, melanogenesis, aging, and wrinkles. This review summarizes the potential evidence of the beneficial properties and future perspectives of using marine macroalgae-derived polyphenolic compounds for advancing the cosmetic industry.

“…Climate change, a prominent concern of the 21st century, is manifested through alterations in the behavior, abundance, diversity, and distribution of marine species [94]. These changes, coupled with environmental shifts in the receiving ecosystems, create favorable conditions for the emergence of invasive alien species (IAS) or nonindigenous marine species (NIMS) [94,95].…”

The growing understanding and knowledge of the potential of marine species, as well as the application of “blue biotechnology” have been motivating new innovative solutions in cosmetics. It is widely noted that that marine species are important sources of compounds with several biological activities that are yet to be discovered. This review explores various biological properties of marine-derived molecules and briefly outlines the main extraction methods. Alongside these, it is well known the legislative and normative framework of cosmetics is increasingly being developed. In this research segment, there is a growing concern with sustainability. In this sense, “blue biotechnology”, together with the use of invasive species or marine waste products to obtain new active ingredients, haven been emerging as innovative and sustainable solutions for the future’s cosmetics industry. This review also examines the regulatory framework and focus on the recent advancements in “blue biotechnology” and its relevance to the sustainable development of innovative cosmetics.

“…The inhibitory activities of S. muticum extracts against enzymes involved in the degradation of the extracellular matrix, such as elastase, collagenase, and hyaluronidase, were recently reported [ 28 ]. The dermis and epidermis of the skin are composed of collagen and elastin, which play a role in making the skin firm and supple [ 28 ]. Hyaluronic acid also plays an essential role in maintaining the hydration and plasticity of the skin [ 73 ].…”

“…Hyaluronic acid also plays an essential role in maintaining the hydration and plasticity of the skin [ 73 ]. The ethyl acetate fraction isolated from S. muticum did not affect elastase activity, whereas it strongly inhibited collagenase and hyaluronidase with IC 50 values of 97.5 and 23.7 μg/mL, respectively [ 28 ]. These results suggest the potential of S. muticum ethyl acetate fraction to maintain skin structure and function.…”

Seaweeds are receiving much attention as a rich source of bioactive compounds with cosmeceutical potential. Recent studies have revealed that Sargassum spp., a genus of brown algae in the family Sargassaceae, has multiple functions in preventing and improving skin aging. Sargassum spp. contains many bioactive compounds, such as fucoidan, fucoxanthin, terpenoids, flavonoids, and meroterpenoids. These Sargassum spp. extracts and derivative compounds have excellent potential for skincare, as they exhibit skin health-promoting properties, including antioxidants, anti-inflammation, whitening, skin barrier repair, and moisturizing. Therefore, searching for bioactive compounds in marine resources such as Sargassum spp. could be an attractive approach to preventing and improving skin aging. The current review focused on the various biological abilities of Sargassum extracts or derived compounds for anti-skin aging.
