  • Olive by-products: Challenge application in Cosmetic Industry
    Industrial Crops and Products, 2015
    Co-Authors: Francisca Rodrigues, F. B. Pimentel, M. Beatriz P.p. Oliveira
    Abstract:

    Olive tree is a traditional plant which fruits (Olea europaea L.) are used for olive oil production, especially in Mediterranean countries. Olive oil extraction produces by-products, which can become a major environmental issue. Recently, some studies have been carried out on these residues regarding phytochemical identification and biological and toxicological evaluation. The bioactive compounds contained by these by-products have a high antioxidant activity (especially oleuropein), a characteristic fatty acids profile and an interesting mineral composition. Indeed, taking into account its composition and sustainability issues, the reuse of these disposal residues is advisable. These agro-industrial by-products have the potential to be used with different purposes, providing economical advantage. In particular, the field of skin care products and Cosmetics may benefit from these remaining materials, as those bioactive compounds can fulfill a real Cosmetic function and activity. This review presents the composition of the different olive by-products and their bioactive compounds. The possible application of these wastes as Cosmetic ingredients was critically reviewed.

    Cosmetics, 2017
    Co-Authors: Filipa B Pimentel, Francisca Rodrigues, Rita C Alves, Beatriz M P P Oliveira
    Abstract:

    Aging is a natural and progressive declining physiological process that is influenced by multifactorial aspects and affects individuals’ health in very different ways. The skin is one of the major organs in which aging is more evident, as it progressively loses some of its natural functions. With the new societal paradigms regarding youth and beauty have emerged new concerns about appearance, encouraging millions of consumers to use Cosmetic/personal care products as part of their daily routine. Hence, Cosmetics have become a global and highly competitive market in a constant state of evolution. This Industry is highly committed to finding natural sources of functional/bioactive-rich compounds, preferably from sustainable and cheap raw materials, to deliver innovative products and solutions that meet consumers’ expectations. Macroalgae are an excellent example of a natural resource that can fit these requirements. The incorporation of macroalgae-derived ingredients in Cosmetics has been growing, as more and more scientific evidence reports their skin health-promoting effects. This review provides an overview on the possible applications of macroalgae as active ingredients for the Cosmetic field, highlighting the main compounds responsible for their bioactivity on skin.

  • differences in purchase behavior between france and the usa the Cosmetic Industry
    Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management, 2002
    Co-Authors: Michael J Weber, Julie Capitant De Villebonne
    Abstract:

    This study investigates the differences in purchasing behavior between the US and French Cosmetic markets. Our study suggests that a difference should exist due to psychological factors, social influences, and the purchase situation. Our paper will discuss the underlying theoretical perspectives that support our proposition, and illustrate the various components which influence consumer behavior in this particular marketplace. The analysis and investigation is based on the Cosmetic Industry in terms of comparing US and French consumers and their historical purchase patterns. The results indicate that there are in fact notable differences in purchase behavior. The implications of these findings are important in two primary ways. First, the findings provide support for the theoretical underpinnings. Second, the findings have important managerial implications in terms of developing appropriate product development, distribution and marketing strategies.
