Elastin structure and its involvement in skin photoageing
Abstract Skin aging is a complex process that may be caused by factors that are intrinsic and extrinsic to the body. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation represents one of the main sources of skin damage over the years and characterizes a process known as photoaging. Among the changes that affect cutaneous tissue with age, the loss of elastic properties caused by changes in elastin production, increased degradation and/or processing produces a substantial impact on tissue esthetics and health. The occurrence of solar elastosis is one of the main markers of cutaneous photoaging and is characterized by disorganized and non‐functiona...

Effects of seasonality and a daily photo ‐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. Résumé ObjectifsL'étude avait un double but. En premier lieu, évaluer les modifications potentielles de 31 signes ou altérations du visage engendrées l'été par rapport à l'hiver dans un groupe de 43 femmes chinoises. Dans un second temps, appréhender les effets préventifs apportés par l'application quotidienne d'un produit solaire de haute‐protection tout au long de l'étude (6mois) sur un groupe comparab...

Structure ‐function 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. Résumé ObjectifsLe présent travail a analysé l'activité anti‐oxydante des antioxydants à base de phénol en utilisant une méthode de Résonance du Spin Electronique pour prédire l'activité et la stabilité de ces antioxydants dans les produits cosmétiques. MethodesLa méthode de la puissance anti‐oxydante (AP) a é...

A highly ‐resistant structure between cuticle and cortex of human hair
ConclusionThis study proposed the presence of a membrane‐like structure, which is highly resistant against chemical treatment, at the region between cuticle and cortex of human hair. This may protect cortex from external stimuli more firmly than the surface part of cuticle.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Texture based characterization of sub ‐skin features by specified laser speckle effects at λ=650nm region for more accurate parametric “skin age” modelling
ConclusionThe method introduced here is non‐invasive, low‐cost and capable of operating in real‐time; having the potential to compete against high‐cost instrumentation such as confocal microscopy or similar imaging devices used for skin age identification purposes.This article is protected by copyright.

Factors affecting SPF in vitro measurement and correlation with in vivo results
ConclusionIn our investigation we demonstrated that it is possible for a single laboratory to optimize internal methods and protocols to achieve repeatable and predictive in vitro results, but it is extremely difficult to develop methods reproducible and equally reliable in different laboratories, probably due to “external variables” (eg. environmental, operator), which are difficult to control.This article is protected by copyright.

Electron microscopic investigation and elemental analysis of titanium dioxide in sun lotion
ConclusionA novel defatting method for sample preparation of titanium dioxide nanoparticles used in sun cosmetics was developed. This method was applied to six different sun lotions with SPF between 30 and 50+. TiO2 particles were found in only five sunscreens. The sizes of the primary particles were below 100 nm and according to the EU Cosmetic Regulation have to be listed on the package with the term “nano”.This article is protected by copyright.
