Measuring the Antioxidant Potential of an Acai Extract
The antioxidant potential of cosmetic materials can be evaluated by several methodologies, including a commercial kit that measures total antioxidant status, as illustrated here with a commercial extract from the fruit of the açaí, a Brazilian palm tree. Applications in antiaging products are suggested.

Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory Effects of CBD Confirmed in Keratinocytes
A study published in the
Journal of Natural Products
confirms the mechanism through which cannabidiol (CBD) exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions in human skin keratinocytes.

Evaluating Essential Oils in Cosmetics: Antioxidant Capacity and Functionality
In the present work, the antioxidant capacities of three essential oils derived from basil and thyme were evaluated using a photochemiluminescence (PCL)-based assay. In addition, since the base formulation can affect the antioxidant activity of oils contained therein, ingredient interactions within final formulations were investigated.

A Dermatological View: Antioxidant Inhibits UV Erythema In Vivo in Humans
Described here was an in vivo model to determine antioxidative capacity of a topical skin care emulsion versus the emulsion’s vehicle on human skin that was exposed to UVR. Results suggest the test emulsion and its vehicle control inhibited the induction of erythema and reduced inflammation caused by the UV exposure.

Safeguarding Squalene: Lemon Myrtle Antioxidant for Pollution Protection and Oleostasis
Squalene becomes easily oxidized when exposed to pollution and UV radiation, which promotes skin inflammation, the production of poor-quality sebum, comedogenesis and wrinkling. Lemon myrtle leaf extract neutralizes squalene oxidation and can protect all ethnic skin types from environmentally induced oily skin, restoring oleostasis.

Omni Antioxidant: Acetyl Zingerone Scavenges/Quenches Reactive Species, Selectively Chelates Iron
Daily exposure to environmental stress keeps skin under a persistent burden from excess ROS. This drives premature skin aging. The present article explores the multiple effects of a single ingredient, acetyl zingerone, to proactively manage excess ROS production via chemical and physical paths.

Green Tea EGCG: Now with Moisture Benefits
The powerful antioxidant properties of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from green tea are legendary. What's not are their skin-hydrating and moisturizing benefits, as new findings from AmorePacific and Sungkyunkwan University, in Korea, suggest.
Literature/Data
Lauder Findings on Sirtuins, Stress and Eucalyptus
New findings highlight the importance of sirtuins in skin cell activity, how they relate to environmental signals and circadian rhythm, plus the antioxidant efficacy of eucalyptus.
Method/Process
Influence of Skin Diffuse Reflectance on Sun Damage and Ingredient Efficacy Measurements
Current in vitro methods to assess photostability and antioxidant activity do not account for the diffuse reflectance of skin. Described here is an in vitro test that addresses this variable, mimics end-use product conditions and models photodamage processes. The approach is employed to determine the efficacy of an antioxidant from the Camellia sinensis (tea) plant.

Chocolate and Wine: The Perfect Match for Skin?
The
International Journal of Molecular Sciences
had us at "hello" this month, with a new study comparing the phenolic compounds in chocolate (actually, cocoa by-products) vs. wine (okay, grape seed) extracts for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory skin benefits.
