Photoprotective and Antioxidant Liposomal Formulations from <i>Sargassum</i>-Derived Biomolecules for Skincare Applications.

ABSTRACT: The development of sustainable skincare formulations is increasingly important due to growing customer demand for eco-friendly and health-conscious products. Conventional formulations often rely on synthetic ingredients that can harm human health and marine ecosystems, underscoring the need for natural and biodegradable alternatives. Recurrent Sargassum blooms in tropical regions generate vast, underutilized biomass, posing environmental and economic challenges, such as habitat disruption and waste accumulation. Valorizing this biomass for nanocarrier production aligns with circular economic principles and promotes marine resource utilization. This study developed and characterized fucoidan-coated liposomes as nanocarriers for skincare applications through comprehensive physicochemi
