Natural and safe ingredients are now a major concern in the cosmetics industry. Different methods for reducing hazardous substances in the products are being developed quickly. Biocosmetics appears as a “term” for natural resources-based cosmetics. The ingredients for biocosmetics are usually made from plants, animals, microbes, enzymes, and other natural resources. Fungi, a diverse kingdom, is one of the potential sources for such biocosmetics due to their enormous diversity of functional secondary metabolites with pharmacological properties. Some studies regarding fungi in cosmetics, especially for skincare products, only focus on the application of mushroom-forming fungi (extract of mushroom/basidiocarp). Otherwise, filamentous fungi, such as Rhizopus oryzae, Aspergillus oryzae, Monascus purpureus, Aspergillus niger also have a high potency to be developed as biocosmetic ingredients due their cosmeceutical properties such as anti-aging, whitening, antioxidant, etc. white rot fungi (WRF) producing ligninolytic enzymes, such as Phlebia radiata, Geotrichum sp., Trametes hirsuta, Bjerkandera adusta, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, also have high potency to developed as natural active whitening. In this study, we discussed the potency of fungi, not only for mushroom commodities but also filamentous fungi including WRF. Therefore, we expect that this review provides a comprehensive study regarding fungal application in cosmetic industries, especially as natural ingredients in skincare products
