Our previous study demonstrated the potent in vitro collagen biosynthesis stimulating and antioxidant activities of Volvariella volvacea extract. This study was performed the loading of V. volvacea extract (VV) in niosomes (NV). The physicochemical characterization of the VV loaded niosomes and gel containing niosome of the extract (GNV) was studied. Rat skin transdermal absorption by Franz dif...

Cosmetic patches have recently been developed as skin products for personal care owing to rapid advances in the technology of delivery of active ingredients, moisture, and adhesiveness to skin. Alginate and Spirulina are typical marine resources used in cosmetic products. This research involved the development of a Spirulina extract-impregnated alginate nanofiber cosmetic patch supported by a p...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the skin colouring properties of curcuma extract in cosmetic formulations. Objective measurements of the skin colour changes were done by Chromameter using the CIE L*a*b* colour space parameters. These measurements were correlated with the results of the sensory analysis. The observations showed permanent, visible and statistically significant changing of b...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the topical efficacy of a new purified extract from Madagascar, Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica [L.] Urban), both on human explants and on human volunteers, in relation to skin wrinkling and skin protection against ultraviolet light exposure. The extract, with a peculiar content of biologically active molecules, was investigated as a novel anti-infl...

  Background: Genital injuries are important because of their association with injuries to major organs and vasculature of pelvis. Both degolving of genitalia skin and amputation of penile glans and testis are rare conditions. Although genital injury is rarely life threatening, it can result in serious sexual, psychological and physiological consequences. This study aimed to introduce few ...
