Abstract：
The cosmetics industry is one of the most profitable in the world today. This multi-billion-dollar industry has a profound sociological impact worldwide. Its influence is global, with most individuals being concerned with conserving their physical appearance, beauty, and youth. The consumers\' desire for novel, better, and safer products has stimulated the utilization of natural-product-based cosmeceutical formulations over synthetic chemicals. With remarkable advancements in marine bioresource technology, algal polysaccharides have gained much attention as bioactive ingredients in cosmeceuticals. Algae biosynthesize a variety of polysaccharides including fucoidans, alginates, carrageenans, galactans, agar, porphyran, glucans, and ulvans, all of which exhibit distinctive structural and functional properties. Many of these materials have been proven to possess skin-protective effects, including anti-wrinkle, lightening, moisturizing, UV protective, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory activity. Moreover, they have a wide spectrum of physicochemical properties, such as the ability to form hydrogels, which extend their utilization as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and viscosity controlling ingredients in cosmeceuticals. Accordingly, algal hydrocolloids and their synthetic derivatives can also be applied in tissue engineering and cosmetic surgery. The challenge is to increase awareness about these polysaccharides and consequently generate value-added products. This review discusses the beneficial biological and physicochemical properties of algal polysaccharides, highlighting their potential in cosmeceutical applications.
摘要：
化妆品行业是当今世界上最赚钱的行业之一。这个价值数十亿美元的产业在全球范围内具有深远的社会学影响。它的影响是全球性的，大多数人都关心保护自己的外表，美,和青春。消费者对小说的渴望，更好,更安全的产品刺激了基于天然产品的药妆配方相对于合成化学品的利用。随着海洋生物资源技术的显著进步，藻类多糖作为药妆中的生物活性成分受到了广泛的关注。藻类生物合成多种多糖，包括岩藻依聚糖，藻酸盐,角叉菜胶,半乳聚糖,琼脂,卟啉,葡聚糖,和ulvans,所有这些都表现出独特的结构和功能特性。许多这些材料已被证明具有保护皮肤的作用，包括抗皱,闪电,保湿,防紫外线,抗氧化，和抗炎活性。此外，它们具有广泛的物理化学性质，例如形成水凝胶的能力，扩大了它们作为乳化剂的利用率，稳定剂,和药妆中的粘度控制成分。因此，藻类水胶体及其合成衍生物也可用于组织工程和美容手术。挑战是提高对这些多糖的认识并因此产生增值产品。本文综述了藻类多糖的有益生物学和理化性质，突出它们在药妆应用中的潜力。
