Abstract
Cosmetics and health food ingredients development from natural resources has been one of the recent approaches for product development. The process of research and development starts from identifying the potential natural resources, screening them to discover new efficacies by different in-vitro test methods, safety assessment of the selected products, confirmation of efficacies by clinical trials and finally introducing the product to the market. This paper reviews efficacies and application methods of some of the products containing lipophilic compounds such as Spingolipid (Ceramide) from YUZU, Glucosylceramide from Rice, and Cyanropicrin from Artichoke etc.
