The development of synthetic biology has witnessed rapid advancements, which have significantly promoted production innovations in multiple sectors. In the cosmetics industry, the production methods of amino acid derivatives, which are a kind of pivotal raw materials in cosmetics, are experiencing groundbreaking innovations. The traditional methods for the production of amino acid derivatives have the problem of high cost, and usually generate environmental risk. Besides, the production stabilities of the target products are often unsatisfactory. The application of synthetic biology technology in the design and engineering of microbial cell factories for the bioproduction of amino acid derivatives, can greatly enhance the production efficiency and reduce the production costs of the target products. This innovative approach not only enhances the development of green biomanufacturing, but also benefits the demand of market for natural, safe, and functional cosmetic ingredients. In this review, an overall introduction to the utilization of amino acid derivatives in cosmetics industry is first provided. Subsequently, the strategies for the construction of high-producing strains for the production of amino acid derivatives are comprehensively summarized, which are basically categorized into two groups: enzyme conversion and microbial fermentation. The application of enzyme engineering, rational metabolic engineering, and random screening in the construction of microbial cell factories for the production of amino acid derivatives are systematically introduced. Moreover, the current research advancements and trends in the biosynthesis of amino acid derivatives as cosmetic raw materials are outlined. With the support of the cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, synthetic biology will further promote the production innovation process, enabling efficient and eco-friendly biomanufacturing of a wider array of cosmetic raw materials. This ongoing evolution holds immense promise for the cosmetics industry, promising a future with sustainable and innovative products.
