C arotenoids are isoprenoid pigments used in food, chemical, text ile, pharma ceutical, and cosmetic industries. They act not only as dyes and provitamins A but also have antioxidants, photoprotective, anti microbial properties, among others. This class of pigment can be obtained traditionally by plants or chemical synthesis, but they have some disadvantages. In recent years, search for alternative sources has been an important strategy for the carotenoid industries. Microbial synthesis is an alternative that has shown good yields, speed, and reduced production costs. Hostile environments, such as the Caating a dom ain, represent an interesting source of microorganisms tha t produce biomolecules, especially carotenoids, because of oxidative stress caused by sunlight. T hus, this region has been attracting the attentio n of the scientific community and industry for the use of these organisms in the production of carotenoids and applications in cosmetic products; since these compounds have interesti ng antioxidant and photoprotective properties. In this review, general characteristics of carotenoids, sources of production, industrial applicability, and commercialization will be discussed, as well as perspectives on the production of carotenoids from microorganisms isolated from the Caatinga and their application in anti-UV products.
