Repositório de fitoingredientes amazônicos aplicados à produção de cosméticos capilares personalizados

Abstract

Hair cosmetic products of plant origin are gaining more and more market share in the world, as traditional mass-produced products have toxic components in their formulas, which negatively impact both human health and the environment. In this perspective, the cosmetics market has shown an intense demand for raw materials of plant origin, such as Amazonian phyto-ingredients such as patauá oil, buriti, Brazil nuts, etc. Thus, in view of this context, the present study proposed to create a repository of Amazonian phytoingredients applied to the production of hair cosmetics. To achieve this objective, the methodology adopted in this work first involved a search in five databases (ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, INPI and Orbit), through which scientific articles and patent documents were analyzed. Subsequently, the methodological procedures turned to the development of the repository, which was based on five stages (design, planning, coding, testing and approval) and included the application of the following languages: sql, php, html and css. With regard to searches in scientific databases, 78 scientific articles were found and of these, 18 studies were selected, meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Regarding the technological bases, 78 patents and 25 computer program records were found. Of this amount, 11 patents were selected. With regard to the repository, CRUD operations were implemented (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for all available options in the repository menu. Studies on the hair cosmetics market point to a growing customer interest in plant-based products. Thus, the repository developed in this work proves to be of great value, as it will be used in this marketing segment, storing information on Amazonian phytoingredients.
