Natural extracts are described in the literature as biomolecules that have, among others, antioxidant and photoprotective properties. In addition, other advantages allow its use, such as low toxicity and high biodegradability. The skin is an organ that is constantly exposed to oxidative stress, including ultraviolet (UV) radiation, air pollutants and chemicals. These factors directly lead to premature skin aging. The interest in active substances from Brazilian biodiversity, especially the Caatinga Biome, highlighting the attention and research of the pharmaceutical sector and cosmetic industries, to study the insertion of natural biomolecules of plant origin, to demonstrate to consumers the safety and efficacy of these products. However, the objective of this review is to present plants from the Brazilian Caatinga that have biological activities that act in the preventive process of skin care and that have potential for the production of phytocosmetics. This integrative review was produced through a search carried out from January to April 2022. This bibliographic search was carried out in specialized databases (PubMed, Scopus and Science Direct), the manuscript selection was based on the inclusion criteria: articles with studies of plants collected in the region of the Caatinga Biome for the development or tests for skincare in the cosmetic area (in vivo and/or in vitro) with natural extracts that contain keywords in the title, abstract or full text, in the years between 2010 and 2022. Presenting results for the antioxidant, photoprotective and cytotoxicity assays of plants of the Arecaceae family.

“…Sustainable use and trade in timber have been proposed as an economic incentive for forest conservation (Putz et al, 2001;; Pearce et al, 2003;; Newton, 2008) but the conservation-through-use argument requires that technical uncertainties, including lack of appropriate ecological information, are overcome (Dickinson et al, 1996;; Newton, 2008). For example, to make appropriate decisions regarding effective silvicultural treatments for A. cearensis the reproductive biology of the species (Leite, 2005) must be understood. If logging continues in Salta province the species will probably decline further, leading to its economic extinction in this part of Argentina.…”

“…This region constitutes a phytogeographical entity: Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests of the Pleistocenic Arc (Prado, 2000). Although A. cearensis has high economic value and is categorized as Endangered on the IUCN Red List there has been no effort to delineate a conservation and management plan for the species (Leite, 2005;; Americas Regional Workshop, 1998). The species’ distribution, population structure and regeneration pattern are poorly documented, making it difficult to develop management guidelines (Osinaga Eguez, 1997).…”

Amburana cearensis is a commercially valuable timber species, categorized as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. It is distributed throughout the seasonal dry tropical forests of Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru and Argentina. In Argentina it is restricted to the provinces of Salta, where legislation sets a minimum cutting diameter of 60 cm, and Jujuy, where logging of this species has been banned since 1972. The effect of these laws on the species' conservation status has not been assessed. We estimated species density, using distance sampling methodology, and measured the diameter at breast height of each individual encountered at 13 sites in north-west Argentina. Across both provinces we found a density of 1.12 individuals ha −1 (95% CI 0.48-2.63)and there was no significant difference between the density in Salta (5.15 ha; 95% CI 3.14-8.45) and that in Jujuy (3.67 ha −1 ; 95% CI 2.59-5.17), although 84% of the individuals encountered in Salta were found at one site. Diameter at breast height was significantly lower in Salta than in Jujuy (23 ± 12 vs 41 ± 18 cm; P , 0.05). These differences in the demography of the species between the provinces may be attributable to the application of different legislation. Our results indicate that it would be prudent to halt logging of this species in Salta until further information is gathered and a sustainable management plan developed.

“…Por outro lado, a Amburana acreana tem sua distribuição restrita ao sudoeste da floresta amazônica (Rondônia, Acre e Amazonas). Há registros de sua ocorrência em outros países como no norte da Argentina, sul da Bolívia e nordeste do Paraguai e Peru (Leite, 2005).…”
