Ingredients of cosmetic products are listed following International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI). These INCI names often differ greatly from systematic chemical nomenclature or from more common trivial names. The below tables are sorted as follows:
Castor oil and its derivatives are found in many cosmetics as it is "non-comedogenic" (does not exacerbate or contribute to acne). [3]Cerebrosides (cells from the nervous systems of cattle or swine) were once used in some high-end skin-care products to increase moisture retention and to create a smooth skin surface, [4] however the BSE controversy has put an end to this practice.
Protein treatments are the secret to healthy, shiny hair. We consulted experts and scoured the market to curate the 9 best protein treatments to restore hair.
With that said, mycoprotein should neither be confused with mushroom-based products, as the part of fungi grown for mycoprotein is the vegetative growth of the fungi, called mycelium, which can be compared to the roots of the organism. [4] Metaphorically, the mushroom and the mycelium are as similar as a fruit is to the roots of its tree.
Chitin nanofibers are extracted from crustacean waste and mushrooms for possible development of products in tissue engineering, drug delivery and medicine. [ 2 ] [ 38 ] Chitin has been proposed for use in building structures, tools, and other solid objects from a composite material , combining chitin with Martian regolith . [ 39 ]
An edible mushroom featured as an ingredient in Chinese haute cuisine, it is used in stir-fries and chicken soups. The mushroom, grown commercially and commonly sold in Asian markets, is rich in protein, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber. The mushroom also contains various bioactive compounds, and has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.
These products can be applied to the face (on the skin, lips, eyebrows, and eyes), to the body (on the skin, particularly the hands and nails), and to the hair. These products may be intended for use as skincare, personal care, or to alter the appearance, with the subset of cosmetics known as makeup primarily referring to products containing ...
Recycling waste products contributes to the mycelium based composites' low cost and environmental-friendliness over the current methods and materials. [12] The main determining factor of the composites’ properties is the type of substrate used. [14] However, the growth conditions and moisture content can also alter the composites ...
