Nanoferulic: From a by-product of the beer industry toward the regeneration of the skin.

Background: Brewers' spent grain (BSG) is one of the most abundant by-products of the beer industry and causes serious environmental problems. Ferulic acid (FA) is an antioxidant with potential cosmeceutical applications. FA was extracted from BSG, developing a method of high extraction performance in order to be encapsulated in ultradeformable liposomes (Nanoferulic, NF).
