Advancements in Facial Mapping of Skin Biophysical Parameters

Advancements in understanding the quality of facial skin in different zones represent one of the exciting areas in skin science. Facial mapping will enable the industry to test real efficacy of newly developed skincare products on the face

Improving the Sensory Properties of Lye Hair Relaxers

Previous work found soluble silicates in lye relaxers to impart positive effects. Therefore, a compound based on potassium silicate, alkyl polyglycoside and glycerin was developed to improve the effects of lye relaxers on the mechanical and sensorial properties of hair. This article explores various benefits of this compound using variations of two lye relaxer test formulations.

Tranexamic Acid Enhances Efficacy of Fluocinolone for Melasma

When comparing combination treatment of oral tranexamic acid with fluocinolone-based TCC to fluocinolone-based TCC alone for the treatment of melasma, combination therapy provided superior results.

Researchers Initiate Automation of Skin Model Production

Instead of just a single layer skin model of a single cell type, the researchers have access to a patent-protected skin model that consists of two layers with different cell types. The researchers liken this model to a perfect copy of human skin and are in the process of developing the first fully-automated process chain for manufacturing two-layer skin models.

How Cephalopods Became Nature’s Master of Cosmetics

Cephalopods possess reflectin proteins, which is unique in the animal kingdom. Roger Hanlon, Ph.D., of Brown University spoke during the biomimicry session at the IFSCC Congress on inspirations like these from nature to inspire the development of color cosmetics.

The combined approach was found to increase the characterization of known skin bacteria by 26%.

Cultivation + Metagenomics Dataset Uncovers 85% of Microbiome Sequences

A paper published in Nature Microbiology describes a combined approach to develop a genome reference that has increased the characterization of known skin bacteria by 26%, providing a broader view of skin microbiome diversity.

Effect of Seawater Salts on Inflammatory Skin Disease

Use of mineral spa water and seawater has been and continues to be a common treatment modality for inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis.

Improving the Solubility of Benzoyl Peroxide: A Review

In this review, the authors examine studies relating to the solubility of BPO. The clinical trials discussed show that compared with suspended BPO, BPO solubilized by dimethyl isosorbide reduced P. acnes and decreased both inflammatory lesions/irritation and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant P. acnes strains. This reveals the importance of solubilizing BPO for improved efficacy and safety.
