: This study explored the potential of arecanut husk waste as a vital ingredient in cosmeceutical products for the first time. Lignin was extracted from arecanut husk, which farmers typically view as waste, and lignin nanoparticles were produced from it. The study evaluated the potential of these lignin nanoparticles as a cosmeceutical product for skincare by measuring their antioxidant activity and UV protection factor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the antioxidant activity and sun protection factor (SPF) of lignin nanoparticles sourced from arecanut husk. Therefore, this research promotes waste valorization and introduces a new sustainable approach to utilizing agricultural waste.
