Study of Twins Correlates Aging with Genetics

While up to 40% of aging-related changes in skin are due to non-genetic factors, a recent study found a high correlation between the photodamage scores among both monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic (fraternal) twins.

Skin Penetration of EGCG, Quercetin Examined

A recent study in Skin Pharmacoloy and Physiology examined the delivery of epigallocatechin-3-gallate and quercetin from green tea and Ginkgo biloba extracts into the skin from cosmetic formulations.

ZnO Nanoparticles Penetrate but Only Under These Conditions

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles are a major component in sunscreens but their ability to permeate skin has remained undetermined. Recent work in Applied Biomaterials identifies the conditions under which they penetrate—notably, not in their nano form as they exist in sunscreens.
