Description

Rita Favas and co-authors review tiny fat carriers that wrap sea-derived health compounds. Their 2024 review starts from demand for natural ingredients in cosmetics and supplements. Many marine compounds are fragile and dissolve poorly in water, which limits their use.

Two carrier types, solid lipid particles and their mixed-fat cousins, can shield such compounds and help them cross skin or gut. Studies show the wrapped forms can work in creams and foods. Yet no global rules govern this use yet. The authors call for more animal and human safety studies before wide claims are made. The review maps both promise and gaps for makers of health products from the sea.
