Due to the sustainable organic matter bioconversion process used as substrate for its development, the (Linnaeus) larvae biomass is considered a source of compounds with high aggregate value and quite a promising market. The materials that can be extracted from larvae have opened the door to a diverse new field of ingredients, mainly for the feed and food industry, but also with potential applicability in cosmetics. In this review we succinctly describe the larval development and rearing cycle, the main compounds identified from different types of extractions, their bioactivities and focus on possible applications in cosmetic products. A search was made in the databases PubMed, ScienceDirect and Web of Science with the terms '', 'bioactives', 'biochemical composition' and 'cosmetics ingredients', which included 71 articles published since 1994.
由于其开发所用的可持续有机物生物转化过程，（Linnaeus）幼虫的生物质被认为是具有高综合价值的化合物的来源，具有广阔的市场前景。可以从幼虫中提取的材料为成分的多样化新领域打开了大门，主要用于饲料和食品行业，但在化妆品中也具有潜在的适用性。在这篇综述中，我们简要描述了幼虫的发育和饲养周期，从不同类型的提取中鉴定出的主要化合物、它们的生物活性，并重点介绍了在化妆品产品中的可能应用。在 PubMed、ScienceDirect 和 Web of Science 数据库中，以“”、“生物活性物质”、“生化成分”和“化妆品成分”为关键词进行了搜索，共包括自 1994 年以来发表的 71 篇文章。
