Molecular Targets of Aging Processes

The purpose of this article is to discuss some key target molecules and receptors involved with aging mechanisms. As scientists learn more about the biochemical processes involved with aging, an increasing number of these loci are discovered that could be selected as targets for cosmeceutical ingredients with the final goal of an end-product with good anti-aging benefits.

Perking Up Skin: Green Coffee Promotes Barrier Recovery, Turn Over and Lightening

Epidermal barrier recovery and the desquamation of dead corneocytes reinvigorate aged skin. Hyperpigmentation accumulates as skin ages. A green coffee bean extract was tested here and found to address these issues.

If the skin is viewed as an ecological landscape, it can be divided into roughly three different regions with unique environmental characteristics: dry, moist and sebaceous regions.

Defining Moment for the Skin Microbiome: Interpreting Expressions and Misconceptions

This manuscript aims to dispel some misconceptions surrounding the microbiome as well as properly define the nomenclature. It also seeks to instill an appreciation for the magnitude of the ongoing research and what is yet to be revealed.

In Light of Exposure: Understanding Avobenzone Part II, Application

Avobenzone is a widely used organic UV filter. Its dynamic nature and unique properties are responsible for its widespread use and forms. This second in a two-part series considers avobenzone’s behavior with other sunscreens and in formulas; part one reviewed its characteristics and behavior in solvents.

Garbage to Glamour: Recycling Food by-products for Skin Care

Coffee, tomato, olive and citrus waste have a negative impact on the environment and economy. Recycling this waste could lower its impact and increase the sustainability of these ingredients. Waste from food processing is rich in healthy compounds that can be recycled into cosmetic formulations for various skin benefits.

Photostability Leads the Way: Formulating Safer Sunscreens

The need to prevent skin from UV damage is well-understood but the most effective way to achieve this is not. Here, a novel photostabilizer is presented in a test pump sunscreen spray formula as part of a total photoprotection strategy.

SCC Annual Scientific Meeting and Technology Showcase Report

The annual SCC December program offered a variety of subjects in personal care; from multicultural formulating and sustainability, to tissue engineering and a special polymer/surfactant interaction tribute session in memory of Des Goddard.

From Hydration to Cell Turnover: An Integral Approach to Antiaging

As the mechanisms of skin aging become better understood, their complexity commands a different approach for antiaging benefits—i.e., integrating multiple complementary actives into a single formulation. In the present article, the authors describe a comprehensive formula designed to effectively address sixteen different mechanisms of skin aging.
