ABSTRACT

Cosmeceuticals consist of a large number of phytochemical components combined together that have been isolated from various marine resources. The structural diversity of these marine compounds comes from different modi’cation reactions of the main derivatives. The recent progress opens an avenue toward understanding how marine natural products and their potential for development identify novel potent phytochemical compounds for cosmeceutical purposes. These cosmetic substitutes are being developed to enhance the restoration of ionic balance and prevent the skin from drying. This chapter assembles major research ’ndings of marine-based phytochemical compounds, which is of direct relevance to pharmaceuticals, functional foods, and cosmetic skin care products.
