Evaluating the Relationship Between the Phytocomponents of Nut Oils andTheir Potential in Pharmacology and Cosmeceuticals: A SystematicReview

Introduction: Nuts are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and calories, and they possess numerous health benefits. However, there are very few studies examining the correlation of the phytoconstituents of nut oils with their therapeutic and cosmetic uses. The current manuscript aims to present a systematic review that evaluates the relationship between the phytoconstituents of nut oils and their potential in pharmacology and cosmeceuticals. Methods: The author conducted scholarly searches on Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect (Elsevier), IngentaConnect, and Medline to obtain peer-reviewed research on nut oils and included all papers addressing nut oils that have therapeutic and cosmetic advantages. Results: The outcome of the systematic search led to an appraisal explaining the association between the components and pharmaco-cosmeceutical advantages of 23 distinct nut oils such as Argania spinosa, Pinus koraiensis, Arachis hypogaea, Jatropha curcas, and Pistacia vera. Discussion: Nut oils, rich in bioactive components like MUFAs, PUFAs, phytosterols, vitamin E, phenolic compounds, squalene, and lignans, have medicinal properties including cholesterol reduction, cardiovascular health promotion, immune system strengthening, and antioxidant activity. In personal care products, nut oils have long been prized for their ability to nourish, moisturize, and repair damaged skin. Conclusion: Owing to the presence of these incredible components, nut oils have remarkable pharmaco-cosmeceutical qualities. Continued research and development efforts will be essential to unlocking the full potential of nut oils and maximizing their benefits for human wellbeing and the environment.
