| Özet |
| Purpose This review is not intended to critically address the existing literature on the dual impacts of conventional cosmetics and cleaning products on human microbiome and planetary health, such as ecotoxicity, biodegradability issues and pollution. It will also assess the potential, impacts, successes and limitations of green chemistry principles and circular economy models as integrated solutions to mitigate these negative impacts.Material and Methods This research review adopted a narrative methodology. The study searched academic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, Google Patents and Turkpatent patent databases. The literature review was primarily limited to publications between 2009 and 2024. Research articles, review articles and patent documents were analyzed. Keywords related to cosmetics, cleaning products, microbiome, environmental impact, green chemistry, circular economy, biosurfactants, and sustainable packaging were identified. The sources selected included peer-reviewed and theme-appropriate English and Turkish literature.Results The negative impact is associated with environmental issues such as aquatic toxicity, persistence and plastic waste, and microbiome dysbiosis of traditional product ingredients such as surfactants, preservatives, UV filters and microplastics. Green chemistry approaches emphasize alternatives such as biosurfactants, safer preservatives and renewable raw materials. In addition, circular economy strategies contribute to waste utilization, sustainable packaging and reuse models. However, these solutions face limitations such as cost, performance … |
