Citizen Science for Skin Microbiome Research—A 'Microbiome-friendly' Case Study
To assess the potential of citizen science for skin microbiome research, the work described here used a consumer test kit deployed in a pilot study of 59 participants to collect data. The results of a case study and more are outlined.
Efficacy
Investigate Effects of Actives, Raw Materials & Products on the Epigenome
Designed to investigate the effects of actives, raw materials and finished products, Genemarkers’ microRNA panel includes 112 markers with a variety of functions related to skin biology. Testing can be performed with in vitro or ex vivo skin tissues.
Method/Process
Testing the Safety and Efficacy of Multifunctional Personal Care Products, A Primer
Multifunctional products may offer solutions to consumer challenges but as the needs of consumers grow more complex, so do their safety and efficacy testing. This article provides a primer on these considerations.
Efficacy
Colorfast Effects: Reflectance to Assess Lip Gloss Water Resistance, A Proposal
This approach is tested for its ability to distinguish waterproof and non-waterproof products, and compared with in vivo results. Proposed here is in vitro method to measure the waterproof properties of lip gloss based on UV/Vis spectrophotometer reflectance values.
Safety/Stability
Analyze, Optimize: Ensuring Pollution Won’t ‘Get Under Your Skin’
Anti-adhesion, removability, anti-penetration and cleansing properties were assessed in steps, as described here, to optimize formulas for effective anti-pollution protection. An approach was designed to test cosmetic ingredients and formulas for their abilities to suppress the negative effects of pollution in skin.
Efficacy
Validate the efficacy of actives, raw materials & products in preventing/repairing skin damage from environmental pollution

Propanediol Caprylate: Shifting the Microbiome, Sebum Levels and Classic Approach to Dandruff
Propanediol caprylate was previously shown to deactivate
Malassezia
for dandruff control. In parallel, its effects to shift the balance of
Cutibacterium
and
Staphylococcus
in the scalp microbiome, and reduce dandruff and sebum are explored here.
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.

‘Cleaning Up’ Sun Care: Natural Wax/Surfactant Blend for Sustainable Performance
Many clean beauty edicts emphasize the replacement of synthetic ingredients with sustainable and natural-derived materials wherever possible. Maintaining the same or better efficacy, however, poses a formulation challenge. This article explores the efficacy of multipurpose natural wax/surfactant blend to replace several traditional materials with one.
Literature/Data
Comparatively Speaking: Crossmodal vs. Lineal Perception
Lineal perception relates to a direct line between a stimuli and a single sensory interpretation. Crossmodal perception refers to responses and interpretations of various senses to a stimulus, offering product developers opportunities to create novel consumer experiences.

Mitigating 'Maskne:' Boldo to Balance Sebum, Bacteria and Redness in Acneic Skin
Peumus boldus
(boldo) extract was tested for effects on sebum production,
S. aureus
growth and
C. acnes
lipase activity in vitro, as well as on skin redness in vivo. This work aimed to develop a natural ingredient to control sebum, inhibit microbes and their activity, and reduce redness in acne-αfflicted skin.
