Pneuma Nitric Oxide-generating Serum Shown to Improve Acne and Scarring
A pilot study published in the
International Journal of Pharmaceutica Analytica Acta
describes how a topical nitric oxide-generating serum reduced active pustules, comedones and scarring by reducing inflammation and keratinization in acne.

Brown Seaweed Ferment Propagates UV Damage Protection for Skin
To prevent and repair UV-induced skin damage, a sustainable ingredient was developed from
Sargassum vulgare
, a brown seaweed that naturally evolved phlorotannins to defend against UV damage.

Total Breakdown: Recovering Anti-aging Efficacy After Collagen Fragmentation
When collagen breaks down, the broken fragments can hinder the performance of anti-aging actives over time. This column examines methods by which materials can overcome these aging-related issues in collagen production.
Method/Process
Bio + Chemo Guidance Uncover New Benefits in Known Naturals:
Murraya Koenigii
Extract Case Study
Murraya koenigii
extracts derived via various techniques were compared. One developed through chem- and bio-guidance paired with a natural deep eutectic technology uncovered lesser-known efficacies, leading to a natural active to boost elastin synthesis.

Environmental Stress Panel for Evaluating Diesel Particulate Matter==> download our unique Gene Expression Panels Guide at no cost
Genemarkers, a trusted partner for applying genomic technologies to personal care product development, has launched a new testing service to evaluate how product formulations protect or repair skin in response to diesel particulate matter (DPM).
Anti-aging/Face
Safe and Strategic: Hyaluronic and Retinoic Acid Derivative Allays Aging and Acne
A hyaluronic acid and retinoic acid derivative were developed to combine their individual anti-acne and anti-aging efficacies. In vitro and in vivo testing, described here, showed the conjugate penetrated skin to exert the desired biological activities—in low concentrations and without irritation.
Efficacy
Aubergine Mutes TRPV1 and Boosts TRPV-3 and -4 to Reinforce and Comfort Skin
While the causes of sensitive skin are not confirmed, they most likely are due to a neurogenic inflammation after the enhanced activation of sensory proteins in keratinocytes. The present work tested the ability of a
Solanum melongena
(aubergine) cell culture extract to inhibit sensory mediators of discomfort and activate barrier-boosting pathways.
Literature/Data
Sourcing and Using Maca and Suma Roots
In recent years, interest in sourcing plant roots as active ingredients for cosmetic use has grown tremendously. Roots such as maca and suma are rich in secondary metabolites and, as described here, can have specific actions on skin to increase its vitality and response to environmental stresses.
Method/Process
Collagens I and III, and Elastin Activation for Anti-aging
As an alternative to semi-invasive facial rejuvenation techniques, the authors developed an active ingredient to reactivate senescent fibroblasts by stimulating metabolic pathways for collagens I and III, and elastin. The biological activity of the resulting ingredient is investigated here using in vitro models, ex vivo explants and human volunteers.

Dual Defense: Protecting and Repairing Hair Holistically, Inside and Out
Cumulative stress encountered by hair during daily grooming causes breakage and other forms of damage. This paper presents a holistic approach to protect hair from within and without by targeting the cortex and cuticle sheath. Fatigue testing and other assessments are carried out to determine efficacy.
Method/Process
Evaluating Water Permeability and Occlusion in Wound Dressings and Topical Cosmetics
The present study uses an evaporimeter to measure the degree of water loss from in vitro skin samples covered by occlusive and semi-occlusive wound dressings to serve as a model for determining the effectiveness of occlusive cosmetic formulations. The purpose of this work was to develop a model for determining the effectiveness of occlusive cosmetic formulations.

Literature and Patent Review: Analytical and Test Methodologies 1990-2000, Part II
From more than 40 technical sources published in the 1990s, the author reviews new safety tests and methodologies for evaluating preservatives, sunscreens and a variety of skin parameters.

Restoring Hair and Scalp Health: Ceramide-2 Analog for Conditioning and Barrier Benefits
Since ceramides are essential for protecting skin and hair, the natural conclusion would be to use them as cosmetic ingredients. However, naturally occurring ceramides are difficult to extract and can carry a high cost. A structural analog to naturally occurring ceramide-2 was therefore developed.
