Bioactive Substances and Skin Health: An Integrative Review from a Pharmacy and Nutrition Perspective Giménez Martínez, Rafael Jesús Rivas García, Francisco March Cerdá, Joan Carles Hernández Ruiz, Ángela González Castro, Martha Irene Valverde Merino, María Isabel Huertas Camarasa, Felipe José López-Viota Gallardo, Margarita Skin Bioactive substances Nutrition Pharmacy Cosmetics The skin is one of the largest and most important organs of our body. There are numerous factors that are related to skin health, including lifestyle factors, nutrition, or skin care. Bioactive substances from plant and marine extracts play a key role in skin health. The aim of this research was to compile the main evidence on skin and bioactive substances. An integrative review was performed, reporting the main findings according to PRISMA (2020). Thirteen search equations were developed. After the applications of the equations and the process of screening and selection of articles, 95 references were compiled. The main results related to bioactive compounds were classified into food-derived components, nutraceuticals, symbiotics, active substances of marine origin, and substances from plant extracts). There are several factors that indicate that the use of bioactive compounds are interesting for skin health, highlighting some dietary nutrients, substances obtained from plant extracts and metabolites of marine origin that, showing anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, are related to the improvement of some skin conditions or are active principles for cosmetics. 2025-03-20T13:04:47Z 2025-03-20T13:04:47Z 2025-03-06 journal article Giménez Martínez, R.J.; Rivas García, F.; March Cerdá, J.C.; Hernández-Ruíz, Á.; González Castro, M.I.; Valverde-Merino, M.-I.; Huertas Camarasa, F.J.; Lloris Meseguer, F.; López-Viota Gallardo, M.
