Research Summary UV filters are the shield ingredients of sunscreens, protecting against the negative effects of solar radiation. Since the discovery of the first UV filter, nearly 30 filters have become commercially available. Over the years, innovation and regulatory updates have driven their use by the cosmetic industry. This study aimed to characterize commercial sunscreens and identify the main trends by analyzing the labels of 444 sunscreen formulations currently being marketed. Avobenzone, octocrylene, and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine were the three UV filters with the highest usage frequencies, each being present in over 40% of the products. Emulsified preparations and sprays...

Research Summary Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate has the ability to moisturize the skin, regenerate cells, increase skin elasticity, and hide fine lines. This research aims to explore the stability and effectiveness of an anti-aging cream made from Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate in regenerating and hydrating the skin. The anti-aging cream formulation was created by varying the concentration of Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (0%, 3%, 5%, 7%), and the physical properties stability was then evaluated. The best formula was tested for its ability to regenerate skin cells in mice with erythema, as well as its capacity to hydrate the skin of human respondents. Additionally,...

Research Summary Aloe is a perennial succulent from the Liliaceae family, long recognized for its diverse uses in medicinal preparations, drug extraction, and flavoring liquors. The exact origin of Aloe is uncertain, but it is primarily cultivated in relatively warm and dry climates. Two major products are derived from the leaves: the yellow bitter juice consisting of aloin, and the gel rich in polysaccharides. The plant also contains vitamins, enzymes, anthraquinones/anthrones, chromones, and numerous other primary and secondary metabolites. These compounds are widely used as active ingredients in laxatives, anti-obesity medicines, and as emollients or wound healers in various cosmetic...
