Key Points

To define and establish Fitodermonutrição as an emerging scientific field focusing on skin health influenced by phytochemicals and biological rhythms.
Defined Fitodermonutrição and its four foundational axes.
Utilized Laudan's framework for establishing new scientific fields.
Highlighted Latin American specificity concerning exposome and phytobiome.
Outlined a five-priority research agenda.
Fitodermonutrição is formally defined and positioned as a foundational document.
Identification of four key axes supporting the field's emergence.
Emphasis on regional characteristics to enhance understanding of skin health.

Abstract

Fitodermonutrição™ (Phytodermonutrition) is proposed as an emerging scientific field studying how the interaction between phytochemical compounds, bioactive nutrients, biological rhythms, and neuroendocrine state determines the phenotypic expression of human skin in the context of regional exposome. This position paper presents the formal definition, four founding axes (Phyto-Dermo, Nutri-Gastro, Rhythmic-Behavioral, Neuroendocrine), criteria for field emergence using Laudan's framework, Latin American specificity (exposome, phytobiome, population genetics), and a five-priority research agenda. Fitodermonutrição™ is proposed as the foundational document of this emerging field.
