“…Recently, Moghimipour et al also formulated synthetic surfactant-free shampoo, saponins from roots of Acanthophyllum squarrosum being the major ingredients. The resulting mixture likewise demonstrated good cleaning capabilities, had a pH value within an acceptable range and was deemed suitable for usage [13].…”

In response to increasing natural surfactant demand and environmental concerns, natural plant-based surfactants have been replacing synthetic ones. Saponins belong to a class of plant metabolites with surfactant properties that are widely distributed in nature. They are eco-friendly because of their natural origin and biodegradable. To date, many plant-based saponins have been investigated for their surface activity. An overview of saponins with a particular focus on their surface-active properties is presented in this article. For this purpose, works published in the past few decades, which report better surfactant relevant properties of saponins than synthetic ones, were extensively studied. The investigations on the potential surfactant application of saponins are also documented. Moreover, some biological activities of saponins such as antimicrobial activity, antidiabetic activity, adjuvant potentials, anticancer activity, and others are reported. Plants rich in saponins are widely distributed in nature, offering great potential for the replacement of toxic synthetic surfactants in a variety of modern commercial products and these saponins exhibit excellent surface and biological activities. New opportunities and challenges associated with the development of saponin-based commercial formulations in the future are also discussed in detail.

“…Thus, the incorporation of fenolic compounds of H. speciosa in cosmetics has the potential to act as an antioxidant and anti-aging agents. The saponins found in L_SOX extract suggest the investigation of this extract in foaming cosmetics intended for cleaning purposes, such as shampoos, because saponins have the potential to replace the surfactants that are effectively used as cleaning agents in these cosmetics (Moghimipour et al, 2020). The GC-MS analyses allowed the identification of several substances that can be used in cosmetology, with emphases on lupeol, hentriacontane, undecanoic acid, and Friedlan-3-one.…”

The increasing interest in green cosmetics has a major influence on the cosmetics market, whether due to the incorporation of the functionalities of the extracts, or the substitution of synthetic ingredients with natural ones. Yet, the natural substances found in those products must be evaluated for their chemical characterization and toxicity. This study determined the chemical profile and assessed the toxicity of stem (S) and leaf (L) extracts of Hancornia speciosa Gomes obtained by Soxhlet apparatus (SOX) and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (US). Hydroethanolic (70%) extracts were prepared from the stem and leaves of H. speciosa resulting in Soxhlet stem extract, ultrasound stem extract, Soxhlet leaf extract, ultrasound leaf extract. The chemical characterization of the extracts was performed by phytochemical screening and the compounds were identified by GC-MS analyses. The toxicity test was analyzed at concentrations of 50, 250 and 500 µg/ml, using the Allium cepa and Artemia salina tests. The phytochemical analysis identified flavonoids, tannins and saponins while the GC-MS analysis found lupeol, hentriacontane, undecanoic acid, Friedelan-3-one and a potentially toxic substance known as oxalic acid. The toxicity test showed low genotoxic and antimutagenic indexes in the extracts of H. speciosa. The findings suggest that the safest extracts in cosmetic preparations were Soxhlet stem extract and Soxhlet leaf extract, while the most toxic extract was ultrasound leaf extract.

“…In addition to producing the proper amount of foam, saponins are reported to produce a stable foam [61]. And hence donot require additional stabilizers [30]. The excellent surface activity and foaming properties of saponin makes it viable candidate for the development of novel stable foams for biomedical purposes.…”

Increasing environmental concern and consumer demand for natural, sustainable and eco-friendly products have prompted the replacement of synthetic surfactants with their natural plant-based alternatives. Saponins are the plant based natural surfactants characterized by their foam forming properties in aqueous solution. Their natural origin makes them eco-friendly, bio-degradable and non-toxic. Further, they possess better physicochemical properties than the syn-thetic ones. They are also reported to exhibit a lot of useful biological activities such as anti-cancer, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant and cholesterol-lowering properties. Because of their excellent surface activity, biological activities and wide distribution in nature, saponin rich plants deserve deeper insight as a sustainable source of natural surfactants as they possess the potential to replace toxic synthetic surfactants abundant today. This review article is intended to provide a brief overview on the saponins with a special notion on their surface-active properties. It encourages further studies on development of commercial formulations based on saponins for the complete replacement of the synthetic counter parts, making better use of plants sources thereby contributing to global agenda of green environment.
