November 2024 in “Applied Sciences” The study investigates the use of wild strawberry waste as a sustainable source for cosmetic ingredients, focusing on a supercritical CO2 extract rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. This extract shows potential for treating androgenic-related conditions like acne and androgenic alopecia by inhibiting 5α-reductase type 1 expression in skin fibroblasts. Although less effective than saw palmetto, the extract's eco-friendly production process, confirmed by a life cycle assessment, highlights its sustainability. The research underscores the feasibility of transforming agri-food waste into valuable cosmetic ingredients, promoting sustainability in the cosmetic industry. Further research is needed to fully understand the extract's composition and effects.
