Phytochemical Potentials for Dermatological Applications

Some wild, herbal and medicinal plants and their parts contain chemicals that provide a concise scientific evaluation of the effectiveness of foods, nutrients, herbs and dietary supplements in preventing dermal damage and cancer as well as improving skin health without disrupting the natural microflora. With climatic change, including increasing temperatures and longer periods of sun exposure, there is a growing concern among the population regarding skin protection. As the use of plant-based skin products becomes more popular, Phytochemical Potentials for Dermatological Applications describes biologically active components of plants and explains the numerous ways in which they support the treatment of different skin conditions.
