摘要

For decades, the use of cosmetic products has been increasing steadily over time and it is regarded as a part of "human beauty rituals”. However, advancements in cosmetic science have created a fascinating link between beauty and animals. Animals possess exceptional bioactive compounds, which make them intrigue for the cosmetic industry. Various types of bioactive compounds derived from animals (zooceuticals) have emerged as “treasure of gems” in cosmetic industry which revolutionized the cosmetic products, i.e., skin care and personal care. These bioactive compounds include caviar extract, conchiolin, nacre, keratin, elastin, hyaluronic acid, collagen as well as allantoin. Other zooceutical compounds have showed remarkable results in terms of skin texture, rejuvenation, and aging. Various world-class cosmetic research institutes are continuously exploring the efficacy, Cutting-edge research and innovative formulations of zooceuticals to offer luxury and groundbreaking formulations with exceptional results. However, with a focus on ethical considerations as well as sustainability, the use of zooceuticals opens enormous pathways to enhance the efficiency of beauty products. However, the excessive capturing or killing the animals for cosmeceutical purposes can lead to the disruption of natural environment balance as well as directly impact the biodiversity. In conclusion, the rise of zooceuticals in the cosmetic industry shows the integration of beauty and nature. These hidden treasures push the boundaries of cosmetic industries and transform them into the way they approach self-care.
