Screening Sunscreens: Protecting the Biomechanical Barrier Function of Skin from Solar Ultraviolet Radiation Damage
ConclusionIn vitro thin film mechanics techniques can readily characterize the effects of SC's exposure to UV radiation. The methods used in this study demonstrated commercial sunscreens were able to preserve the biomechanical properties of SC during UV exposure, thus indicating the barrier function of SC was also maintained.This article is protected by copyright.

Effects of seasonality and a daily sun ‐protection upon some facial signs of Chinese women
ConclusionThe shift from winter to summer exposure is confirmed in altering some facial pigmented signs among Chinese women. Such changes appear much alleviated by a daily strong photo‐protective regimen.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: International Journal of Cosmetic Science)

4 ‐n‐butylresorcinol enhances proteolytic degradation of tyrosinase in B16F10 melanoma cells
Conclusion4‐n‐butylresorcinol inhibits melanogenesis by enhancing proteolytic degradation of tyrosinase as well as competitive binding to tyrosinase. These findings will help to develop new, effective, and safe chemicals for the treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Dynamics of glycerine and water transport across human skin from binary mixtures
ConclusionThese studies confirm that glycerine enters HSC in substantial quantities and has a long residence time therein. The coupling between bulk water and glycerine transport projected from binary solution data suggests the net effect of glycerine is to slow water loss from the skin. The data support the concept of glycerine as a humectant with an excellent balance of skin penetration and retention characteristics; however, they do not rule out the possibility of an additional biological effect on skin barrier homoeostasis.

Structural ‐Functional Relationship of Phenolic Antioxidants in Topical Skin Health Products
ConclusionBased on the presented findings, it is possible to predict the antioxidative performance of a phenol‐based molecule and its stability and oxidation‐resistance within a cosmetic formulation. This is essential for antioxidant containing dermal formulations designed to combat skin ageing.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Effects of hair sprays on colour perception: a hyperspectral imaging approach to shine and chroma on heads
ConclusionsHair sprays are generally employed for hair style hold and weather resistance and considered without effect on hair colour. Our approach shows that spray‐deposited films can affect colour perception by altering the microstructure of the hair surface. Thin films deposited on the hair fibre surface can partially fill gaps between cuticles, which reduces the cuticle natural angle. This partial erasure results in a angle shift of the shine regions towards the angle of internal reflection, thus decreasing the perceived hair colour regions as experienced by a group of consumers.

Effective axillary malodour reduction by polyquaternium ‐16‐containing deodorants
ConclusionWe identified polyquaternium‐16 (PQ‐16, copolymers of 1‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone and 1‐vinyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride) as a highly effective deodorant active. Results showed that a newly developed PQ‐16‐containing deodorant roll‐on formulation (i) significantly reduced axillary malodour 24 and 48 h after treatment, (ii) significantly decreased the amount of axillary bacteria, (iii) compared to a commercially available deodorant claiming a 24‐h odour protection significantly lowered axillary malodour 24 h and 48 h after application, and (iv) was well tolerated by the study population. PQ‐1...

The Rational Design of Biomimetic Skin Barrier Lipid Formulations Using Biophysical Methods
ConclusionThe generalized approach described herein is shown to mechanistically describe the occlusive character of phospholipid‐structured formulations in the presence of long chain fatty acids or alcohols and that they exhibit characteristics mimicking those found in human SC lipids.This article is protected by copyright.

Redox proteomic evaluation of oxidative modification and recovery in a 3D reconstituted human skin tissue model exposed to UVB
ConclusionExposure of skin proteins to UVB exacerbates oxidative damage to structural skin proteins, with higher exposure levels leading to increasingly impaired recovery from this damage. This has potential implications for the functional performance of the proteins and inter‐related skin health and cosmetic appearance.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
