Neurocosmetics and Aromatherapy Through Neurocutaneous Receptors and Their Functional Implications in Cosmetics

There is little scientific evidence for many of the medical benefits attributed to aromatherapy and neurocosmetics; however, they have been shown to be useful in the management of symptoms such as pain, nausea, general well-being, anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia through various mechanisms, including the olfactory pathway and activation of TRPV and CBD receptors. This review therefore aims to compile the most relevant literature on active ingredients proven effective in neurocosmetics and aromatherapy, as well as the mechanisms responsible for their function, in order to highlight how they can be synergistically integrated into a new generation of multifunctional formulations forming the basis of neuro-functional skin care.
