Exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) poses a significant threat to human skin, inducing the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which cause oxidative stress and can lead to premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and other forms of skin damage. While sunscreens…
The increasing demand for natural products in the cosmetic industry has led to a surge in research on plant-based extracts with bioactive properties. Cissampelos pareira (C. pareira), a plant traditionally used for its medicinal properties, has emerged as a promising…
The growing demand for cosmetic products has increased the need for effective and safe ingredients that can both improve skin appearance and maintain its health. Microbial contamination in cosmetics can lead to skin infections and other health issues. Traditional synthetic…
The skin’s microbial ecosystem plays a vital role in maintaining its health, and an imbalance can lead to skin conditions such as acne and seborrheic dermatitis (SD). Traditional treatments for these conditions, like antibiotics, can increase drug resistance in pathogens.…
The study addresses the challenge of skin aging, a complex process influenced by factors like UV radiation, pollution, and free radicals, which lead to oxidative stress and damage to skin structures. This damage results in reduced skin elasticity and wrinkle…
The use of cannabidiol (CBD) in cosmetics has gained significant attention due to its potential skin benefits; however, regulatory issues and the instability of CBD in topical formulations have hindered its widespread application. These challenges have prompted the search for…
Sensitive skin is a widespread condition characterized by unpleasant sensations like stinging, burning, itching, and tingling, triggered by stimuli that do not usually cause such reactions. Impairment of the skin barrier function, heightened inflammatory responses, and altered sensory processing…
Skin damage from ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a significant concern, leading to photoaging, sunburn, and wrinkles. Conventional sunscreens often contain synthetic compounds, prompting a search for alternatives. Calendula arvensis (field marigold) has shown promising antioxidant, antibacterial, and enzyme-inhibiting properties, making it…
On this special day, the birthday of our beloved founder, Dr. Raj Barathur, we at Cymbiotics pause to remember and celebrate a visionary whose life’s work continues to illuminate our path. Born on January 7, 1949, in Hyderabad, India, Dr.…
Skin, as the largest organ, is susceptible to damage from UV radiation and environmental factors, which generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that trigger the degradation of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. This degradation leads to visible signs of aging such…
