Research Summary A look at the current research on plant-derived stem cell extracts and their potential role in cosmeceutical and skin care products reveals exciting possibilities. The ability to replace, rather than simply repair, damaged skin cells is becoming more feasible with advancements in plant stem cell technology. Scientific studies support the use of certain plant stem cell extracts, although further research is needed to confirm the efficacy of others.Currently, much of the research emphasizes the photoprotective properties of dietary botanicals, highlighting the potential of topical products that use plant extracts with similar characteristics. As plant stem cell technology continues...

Research Summary The main purpose of the present study was to gain understanding of the rheological (elastic, viscoelastic, and viscous) properties of pharmaceutical creams containing sorbitan fatty acid ester surfactants. These surfactants include sorbitan monolaurate, sorbitan monopalmitate, sorbitan monostearate, sorbitan monooleate, and sorbitan trioleate. The study investigated the effects of an increase in the hydrocarbon chain length, the presence of double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains, and the concentration of the surfactant on the rheological properties of the sorbitan fatty acid ester surfactant-containing creams. Additionally, the study examined the effects of the volume of the inner phase and short-term storage...

Research Summary Vitamin K is an important fat-soluble vitamin that naturally occurs in two forms: vitamin K1 (phylloquinone, PK) and vitamin K2 (menaquinones, MKs). It plays a crucial role in blood clotting, as it is necessary for the synthesis of blood clotting proteins in the liver. Although vitamin K deficiency is rare, certain groups, such as the elderly and individuals with intestinal absorption impairments, may struggle to obtain adequate levels of this vitamin.In recent years, there has been growing interest in the influence of vitamin K on human health beyond its role in clotting. Several studies suggest that chronic subclinical...

Research Summary Skin color, along with hair and eye color, is genetically determined by the amount of melanin found in the top layers of the skin. Its varied presence, which accounts for different skin colors, is linked to a population's historical levels of sun exposure. Skin-lightening is just one of many options for altering the skin’s surface appearance, which includes tanning, scarification, makeup, tattooing, facelifts, nose jobs, botox, lip extensions, and piercings.Skin-bleaching practices, such as using creams and soaps to achieve a lighter skin tone, are common worldwide. These practices are often driven by cosmetic reasons that have deep historical,...
