This perspective proposes a new classification system for "superfoods" to better align them with environmental and social sustainability goals, emphasizing plant-based sources over animal-based ones due to lower greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation impacts.

This review highlights that natural hair dyes from plant-derived pigments can produce viable colors on gray hair with low irritation potential, though they face challenges in shade range and consistency; some products may also be adulterated, affecting safety perceptions.

This review summarizes current research on natural hair dyes, reporting that plant-based formulations can safely provide viable colors on gray hair with minimal irritation compared to synthetic options but face challenges in color range and consistency.

In this study, a herbal hair dye was formulated and tested, showing good stability and quality. The addition of Barleria prionitis flower enhanced color intensity and conditioning effects, suggesting it as a safe and effective natural alternative to chemical dyes.

In this study, researchers formulated a herbal hair dye with natural ingredients, including Barleria prionitis, and found it to be stable, effective, and a promising natural alternative to chemical dyes, enhancing color intensity and hair conditioning compared to formulations without this component.

This study concluded that herbal hair dye formulations, particularly two-stage applications with henna, provide darker colors and may offer added protective benefits for hair and skin due to their plant-based ingredients.

This study found that Heated radish extract potently suppressed melanin production in vitro and reduced wrinkle formation and collagen degradation in vivo, suggesting its potential as a skin whitening and antiaging product.

This study suggests that ethyl acetate extract of Equisetum debile may be effective for functional food and nutraceutical use due to its strong 5α-reductase, IL-6 inhibition, and lipid peroxidation activities without cytotoxic effects.

This study evaluated a Piper betle leaf emulgel for topical use and found it to have good stability, non-irritant properties, and significant hair growth activity in albino mice, suggesting its potential for dermatological and hair growth applications.

This study observed that the ethyl acetate extract of Equisetum debile showed high activity against 5α-reductase and lipid peroxidation with no cytotoxicity on dermal papilla cells.

This study investigated the effects of a derma pen treatment using green betel leaf extract cream on hair development in female Wistar rats, highlighting the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of betel leaves that may aid in hair growth and condition.

In this study, researchers tested hair tonic formulations with varying concentrations of bitter melon extract and found that higher concentrations enhanced hair growth in rabbits, with the 15% extract showing the greatest effect without causing skin irritation.

In this experimental study using male rabbits, researchers found that a 7.5% concentration of green tea leaf ethanol extract hair tonic was nearly as effective in promoting hair growth as the positive control, minoxidil, over a 21-day period.

This study found that coffee berry extract demonstrated anti-aging properties in skin and hair cells, showing significant anti-collagenase activity and stimulating hair-related gene expression, suggesting its potential for use in cosmeceuticals.

This study found that oral administration of Terminalia bellirica enhanced hair growth in testosterone-suppressed conditions in both human cell and mouse models, outperforming finasteride, a current commercial hair loss treatment.

This study found that low-temperature rendering of black beans, peony, and green tea extracts retains higher antioxidant properties and effectively supports scalp health by strengthening follicles and moisturizing the scalp.

This study found that a hair tonic containing 40% broccoli stalks extract was more effective in promoting hair growth in male white rats compared to lower concentrations, while also maintaining stable physical characteristics and safety during testing.

This study demonstrated that several botanical extracts possess antioxidant properties, reducing oxidative stress and lipid oxidation in scalp treatments, with rosemary extract showing potential to improve scalp condition in a 4-week consumer trial.

This study found that the black bean-licorice-biotae folium extract may improve hair diameter, scalp moisture, and sebum secretion, although its effect on hair density was not significant.

This study found that a cream containing 20% broad bean extract may reduce axillary hair growth, but only some outcomes were statistically significant compared to placebo.

This study compared the antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaf extract and Eclipta alba bark extract, finding that Hibiscus rosa-sinensis exhibited greater antidiabetic activity, whereas Eclipta alba demonstrated stronger antioxidant activity.

This study suggests that Equisetum debile extracts, particularly the ethyl acetate fraction, may offer natural cosmeceutical benefits for treating hyperpigmentation, delaying skin aging, and remediating hair loss due to androgenic alopecia.

In this study, Lespedeza bicolor extract was found to enhance dermal papilla cell proliferation and extend the anagen phase in mice, suggesting its potential as a treatment for alopecia.

This study tested a hair tonic containing gotu kola and garlic extracts on rabbits, finding that the formulation with 5% gotu kola and 0.04% garlic showed promising hair growth results and remained stable during storage.

This study observed that Biota orientalis L. leaf extract may promote hair growth and suppress sebum production in human cells, suggesting potential benefits for hair restoration.

This study found that the F6 formulation of a hair tonic containing EDS and ATG extracts produced the most significant hair growth in rabbits, without causing skin irritation and remaining stable throughout the observation period.

In this study on New Zealand white rabbits, the researchers reported that a hair tonic formula combining bitter melon leaf and carrot extracts resulted in optimal hair growth, particularly at a 3:1 ratio and a concentration of 3%, without causing irritation.

In this study, topical red onion ethanol extract significantly restored cutaneous antioxidant and pro-angiogenic markers in UV-B-exposed rats, enhancing SOD and VEGF levels dose-dependently, but did not influence hair length, suggesting potential as an adjunct for hair photoaging.

This study found that the extract of Eclipta prostrata L. demonstrated high antioxidant and anti-acetylcholinesterase activities, moderate inhibition of enzymes linked to diabetes, and favorable ADMET properties, suggesting potential cognitive and diabetes management benefits.

This study found that Asparagus racemosus root extract significantly reduced facial sebum production and pore size in male volunteers, suggesting potential application as an anti-sebum ingredient in cosmetics.
