3 ‐O‐Laurylglyceryl ascorbate reinforces skin barrier function through not only the reduction of oxidative stress but also the activation of ceramide synthesis
ConclusionTaken together, we conclude that VC‐3LG reinforces the skin barrier function due to its reduction of oxidative stress and its promotion of ceramide synthesis. Résumé ObjectifUne plus haute perte d'eau de trans‐epidermal (TEWL) se produit dans la peau rugueuse, dans la peau aînée et aussi dans la dermatite atopic. On considère qu'une fonction de barrière de peau diminuée est provoquée par une construction incomplète de la structure lamellar intercellulaire en raison de la réduction quantitative de ceramides. Comme ces symptômes coexistent avec la tension d'oxidative, nous étions hypothétiques que...

Effect of the gel elasticity of model skin matrices on the distance/depth ‐dependent transmission of vibration energy supplied from a cosmetic vibrator
ConclusionsThe current results are the first report in estimating how the external energy is deeply or distantly transferred into a model skins depending on the elastic moduli of the models skins. In doing so, the results would be potentially useful in predicting the health of cells, tissues and organs exposed to various stimuli. Résumé ObjectifLe but de cette étude est de déterminer comment les énergies fournies par un vibrateur cosmétique sont transférées soit en profondeur soit latéralement dans les organes et les tissus, et comment ces profondeurs ou les distances sont influencées par l'élasticité des tiss...

Determination of residual 1,4 ‐dioxane in surfactants and cleaning agents using headspace single‐drop microextraction followed by gas chromatography–flame ionization detection
ConclusionA new method with the merits of simplicity, low cost, low organic solvent consumption, short analysis time, good repeatability and suitable detection limit was developed for the analysis of 1,4‐dioxane in surfactants and cleaning agents. Résumé ObjectifPolyéthoxylé tensioactifs sont largement utilisés dans la formulation de différents agents de nettoyage tels que le shampooing, la vaisselle et les produits de lavage des mains, et la formulation de lotion. Au cours de la production d'agents tensio‐actifs polyéthoxylés, le 1,4‐dioxane comme toxique et cancérigène sous‐produit est formé. Une mét...

Molecular basis of retinol anti‐aging properties in naturally aged human skin in vivo
Conclusion0.4% topical ROL shows remarkable anti‐aging effects through improvement of the homeostasis of epidermis and dermis by stimulating the proliferation of keratinocytes and endothelial cells, and activating dermal fibroblasts. These data provide evidence that 0.4% topical ROL is a promising and safe treatment to improve naturally aged human skin.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Preparation of alpha ‐bisabolol and phenylethyl resorcinol/TiO2 hybrid composites for potential applications in cosmetics
ConclusionUsing this strategy, it could be possible to prepare not only inorganic UV filter but also hybrid organic/inorganic materials with multifunctions and advantages which would be in a great demand for cosmetic applications. Résumé ObjectifDes hybrides bifonctionnels d'alpha‐bisabolol et de phényléthyle résorcinol/TiO2 ont été préparés pour des applications dans les domaines cosmétiques, en particulier dans le anti‐vieillissement et le traitement de l'hyperpigmentation. L'effet synergique d'antioxydants combinés et les propriétés de filtrage UV a été réalisé grâce à la fonctionnalisation des p...

Optimizing the spectral absorption profile of sunscreens
ConclusionIt may be tempting to believe that it is beneficial to increase the absorption of sunscreens in the UVB region relative to the UVA to reflect the fact that skin damage is associated more with UVB than UVA exposure. However, this belief is a fallacy and consumers are best served with sunscreens in which the spectral protection profile is uniform at all wavelengths throughout the UV spectrum.This article is protected by copyright.

Effect of Ultrasound and Heat on Percutaneous Absorption of L‐Ascorbic Acid: human in vitro studies on Franz cell and Petri Dish Systems
ConclusionCombination of ultrasound (329 kHz, 20 mW/cm2) and heat (36°C) significantly enhanced LAA transdermal penetration, when the time of treatment was sufficient (5 min). As petri dish model was designed to simulate acoustic respond of dense human tissue to ultrasound, the difference between Franz cell and petri dish models suggests that the enhancement effect of ultrasound/heat on skin penetration in vivo may be greater than that determined on in vitro Franz cell model.This article is protected by copyright.

Facial expression under stiff stratum corneum leads to strain concentrations, followed by residual wrinkle formation
ConclusionBecause exposure to dry or humid conditions in the short‐term could affect only stratum corneum mechanics, the present results indicated that stratum corneum could be considered to be responsible for localized strain during facial expressions. This strain is followed by residual wrinkle formation. Accumulation of residual wrinkles will produce permanent wrinkles in the long‐term. Improving the mechanics of stratum corneum might be an effective approach in wrinkle formation prevention.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
