The incoporation of rutin and resveratrol promotes the micelles protection and facilitates their permeability into the skin, enhancing their biological action. These micelles have healing, antioxidant, and anti-aging properties due to the presence of rutin and resveratrol. The materials used are safe, green, easily found in nature and respond to the environmental concerns. The formulation of this product aims to achieve a one-step procedure to input rutin and resveratrol in the biocompatible hybrid micelles, develop a low-cost product with diverse skin benefits and develop an innovative green technology-based skin care product from natural and safe ingredients. Additionally, the NanoMICDermo addresses economic, environmental and social sustainability challenges by using food by-products (olive pomace) as a source for hydrogels.
Olive pomace hydrogels containing novel micelles with rutin and resveratrol are formulated to nourish and hydrate the skin, offering healing and antioxidant, and antiaging properties due to the presence of this bioactives. Furthermore, the olive pomace, which is rich in skin-related bioactive compounds and vitamins, enables the skin´s nourishment and provides a green hydrogel-based medium.
- It is capable of encapsulating both hydrophilic and lipophilic bioactive compounds;
- Increased bioavailability of active ingredients;
- It is a one-step procedure; therefore, it has a low energy consumption;
- Eco-friendly procedure;
- Uses a food by-product (olive pomace), representing an innovation in the dermocosmetic industry;
- Lower risk of side-effects and an increasing in the human health´s quality, due to the active ingredients;
- Easy to scale-up due to fast and cost-effective processes
Development of a new methodology to create nanomicelles containing rutin and resveratrol, dispersed in olive pomace-based hydrogels.
