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…
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…
The skin microbiome, a diverse and dynamic ecosystem of microorganisms, plays a vital role in maintaining skin health and homeostasis. As both intrinsic factors like age, sex, and body site, and extrinsic influences such as pollution and topical products, affect…
This study explores the potential of Coffea arabica, Centella asiatica, and Curcuma longa extracts for developing a combination with antioxidant and anti-hyaluronidase properties for use in skincare formulations. Researchers aimed to optimize the ratios of these extracts and evaluate their…
The quest for natural and sustainable solutions in cosmetics has led to the exploration of unique bioactive ingredients. Among these, postbiotics have garnered attention for their potential skin health benefits. Willaertia magna C2c Maky, a microorganism isolated from French…
The skin, as the body’s largest and most exposed organ, is constantly under stress from environmental stressors such as UV radiation, pollutants, and psychological stress. These factors can lead to oxidative stress, which accelerates skin aging and contributes to visible signs…
Acne is a prevalent skin condition that affects individuals across all age groups, often causing physical discomfort and distress. The primary pathogenic organism associated with acne is Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), a commensal bacterium found in abundance within inflammatory acne…
Skin aging is a multifactorial process influenced by intrinsic factors like genetics and hormonal changes, as well as extrinsic factors such as UV radiation, pollutants, and lifestyle choices. These factors contribute to signs of aging, including wrinkles, loss of elasticity,…
Coconut oil, derived from the Cocos nucifera tree, has been an integral part of tropical and subtropical cultures, revered for its versatility and health benefits. Its dried kernel, or copra, serves as the primary source for oil extraction. Coconut oil is…
Psoriasis, a chronic and immune-mediated skin disorder affecting millions worldwide, is driven by a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and immune factors. The IL-17/IL-23 axis plays a central role in the disease’s pathogenesis, making it a critical target for therapeutic…
