Waste valorization utilizing green nanotechnology: a sustainable approach for pomegranate peel agro wastes in skincare formulations.

ABSTRACT: Pomegranate peels, a valuable waste byproduct, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals by United Nations offering a possibility for use as a raw material in herbal formulations. The review aims to highlight the pharmaceutical importance of pomegranate peel bioactive compounds and their applications in the skincare industry. A systematic search of studies identified through scientific databases resulted in the PRISMA chart. Additionally, an exhaustive search using keywords such as pomegranate peel, skincare, ADME, nanoparticles, therapeutics, and bioactive compounds led to a bibliometric analysis. The peels support the waste-to-wealth concept with a rich repertoire of flavonoids, including quercetin, kaempferol, and catechin, as well as polyphenolic compounds and other tannin compoun
