Tags: The cosmetics industry is constantly growing and occupies an important place in South American countries’ economies. Formulations increasingly incorporate ingredients from natural sources to promote sustainable and innovative productions, as well as to gain greater consumer acceptance. According to FAO, waste from post-harvest and food processing in developing countries exceeds 40%, generating significant environmental impacts and stimulating interest in adding value to these wastes, particularly in the fruit and vegetable sector in South American countries, thus contributing to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By-products from harvesting and fruit processing of Passiflora species such as leaves, stems, peel, and seeds are a source of bioactive compounds; however, most of them are wasted. This study aims to compile reports on the chemical composition of cultivated Passiflora species, find evidence of the cosmetic activity of their extracts, and estimate their potential for inclusion in cosmetic formulations., waste valorization; chemical composition of Passiflora; skin-lightening effect; anti-aging
