Summary
This narrative review, published in the International Journal of Applied Pharmaceutics, provides an overview of contemporary developments in the cosmetics industry, likely covering areas such as active ingredient technologies, sustainability, green chemistry, and shifting consumer preferences. The paper appears to synthesise published literature and industry developments to map the trajectory of cosmetic science and formulation. As an overview paper, it is likely intended to orient researchers and practitioners to key directions in the field rather than to present original experimental data.
UK applicability
