Abstract

This review explores the synergistic potential of marigold and dragon fruit in enhancing health and beauty applications. Marigold, known for its rich content of lutein and zeaxanthin, offers anti- inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, while dragon fruit provides essential vitamins and antioxidants with potential skin rejuvenating effects. By synthesizing current research, this review aims to elucidate how the combined use of these two botanicals can amplify their individual benefits, potentially leading to novel cosmetic and therapeutic applications. Additionally, the review examines their traditional uses, bioactive compounds, and mechanisms of action, providing a comprehensive overview of their potential synergistic effects. This analysis highlights future research directions and practical implications, offering insights into the development of innovative beauty and wellness products. Furthermore, the review addresses potential challenges and limitations in integrating marigold and dragon fruit into commercial formulations, including stability, bioavailability, and regulatory considerations. By identifying gaps in current knowledge, this review aims to guide future studies and industry efforts in harnessing the full potential of these natural ingredients. Through a holistic approach, it seeks to contribute to the advancement of sustainable and effective beauty solutions that leverage the unique properties of marigold and dragon fruit.
