Human skin, composed of the epidermis, dermis, smooth muscle, and adipose tissue, acts as a crucial barrier protecting against pathogens and regulating body temperature. However, skin undergoes significant changes with age, including a decrease in keratinocyte synthesis in the epidermis,…
The epidermis, a critical barrier protecting the body, is a highly organized tissue where keratinocytes undergo a regulated balance between proliferation and differentiation to maintain its layered structure. A significant issue in skin health, particularly with aging, is the breakdown…
Nature-inspired skin care products are experiencing a significant increase in market trend. The global natural cosmetics market was valued at USD 31.84 billion in 2023 and is projected for continued growth. This shift reflects a “return to nature” trend in…
Skin aging is a complex biological process influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, often exacerbated by chronic low-grade inflammation, a phenomenon termed “inflammaging”. This inflammatory environment contributes to the degradation of the skin’s structural components, such as collagen, and…
The increasing awareness of the detrimental effects of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation on human health, particularly the skin, has driven the search for effective photoprotective agents. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can lead to various skin-related issues, including sunburn and…
The growing consumer preference for natural and plant-derived ingredients has fueled the search for novel bioactive compounds suitable for topical applications, particularly in skincare. Many endemic plant species, adapted to specific environments, produce unique secondary metabolites that hold promise for…
Skin aging is a complex physiological phenomenon characterized by structural and functional decline, driven by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. As the global population ages, the demand for effective anti-aging interventions has intensified. While numerous active ingredients with potential anti-aging…
Hair is often considered a symbol of youth and confidence, and its loss can negatively impact self-esteem, leading to various psychological issues such as anxiety and depression. While androgenetic alopecia has been extensively studied, hair loss is increasingly prevalent among…
The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR) poses a significant global health threat, rendering many conventional antibiotics ineffective. This issue extends to common skin infections, where bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis exhibit growing resistance. Furthermore, cosmetic products, while…
The detrimental effects of solar radiation on the skin are well-established, with ultraviolet (UV) radiation long being the primary focus of sun protection strategies. However, recent scientific evidence indicates that infrared (IR) radiation also contributes significantly to skin photoaging, increases…
