Oxidative stress is a major factor in skin aging and various skin pathologies. Environmental pollutants exacerbate this stress by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), disrupting the skin’s redox balance. Pycnogenol^®, a French maritime...

The cosmetic industry is undergoing a deep transformation driven by rapid innovation, evolving consumer expectations, and increasing demands for sustainability. Formulators are required to design products that combine functional efficacy, stability,...

Caffeoyl hexapeptide-9 (CH-9) is a novel cosmetic peptide designed by conjugating hexapeptide-9 (H-9), a known collagen-mimetic peptide with established skin anti-aging activity, with caffeic acid (CA) via an amide bond, leveraging peptide-drug conju...

Plant oils are increasingly explored as sustainable functional ingredients in topical emulsions due to their emollient properties and reported photoprotective potential. This study aimed to formulate physically stable W/O emulsions containing selecte...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a major cause of skin aging, leading to oxidation and cleavage of collagen that supports skin structure. Previous studies have demonstrated that Magnolia officinalis var. officinalis (M. officinalis) dry extract redu...
