227 ENDOLICHENIC FUNGI EXTRACTS
results, further studies are needed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lichen extracts
or their compounds in cosmetic formulations. Furthermore, the potential of other ELF
compounds isolated from various lichens as natural sunscreens or tyrosinase inhibitors
could be explored in detail.
