Substances obtained from nature are increasingly at the basis of innovative dynamics in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and nutritional industries. Their use is expanding rapidly, meeting the favor of consumers and the directions taken by institutions and administrations in the direction of ever greater ecological sustainability of production policies. This phase is supported by the continuous production of scientific studies on the complex biological activities of botanical derivatives and by the entry into the field of innovative biotechnologies applied to the production of functional substances. 

Innovation in Botanicals, a technical-scientific magazine aimed at all the protagonists of this trend, wants to testify and document this lively activity of producing new knowledge. It welcomes scientific works and thematic reviews, reports on national and international projects, documentary reports on innovative products and processes. 

It has updated columns curated by young researchers and consultants on modern approaches to the valorisation of plant derivatives, such as circular economy models, the principles underlying the exchange and sharing of knowledge, the different technical-applicative outlets of original materials vegetable, technological advances in the search for quality.
