This review discusses the use of microbial biosurfactants as a safer alternative to chemical surfactants in cosmetics due to their antibacterial, moisturizing, and low toxicity properties, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers produced a biosurfactant from yeast that effectively reduces surface tension, acts as a good oil emulsifier, demonstrates antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and exhibits no cytotoxicity, suggesting its potential use in eco-friendly cosmetic formulations.

This review discusses the benefits of plant-derived biosurfactants for cleaning and personal care, highlighting their environmental friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and positive effects on skin and hair, such as strengthening hair follicles and promoting growth, with a focus on saponin-rich Indian plants.

In this study, mannosylerythritol lipids from soybean oil notably increased fibroblast and papilla cell viability, suggesting potential as a hair growth agent.

This study found that dimethylpabamidopropyl laurdimonium tosylate, a quaternary ammonium surfactant, adsorbs onto human scalp hair with kinetic and isotherm behaviors fitting specific models, changing hair fiber wettability from hydrophobic to hydrophilic.
