Abstract:
... Some personal care products (PCPs) and their chemical components showed a hormetic effect in the freshwater photobacterium Vibrio qinghaiensis sp. -Q67 (Q67) after long-term exposure. However, how hormesis transfers between chemical components and PCP mixture, and which chemical component plays a major role remain unknown. To this end, according to the seven compounds detected in one skin lotion ( ...

Abstract:
... An analytical method for the determination of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) at trace level in cosmetics is presented. As psychoactive compound, the presence of THC in consumer products should be avoided. However, it might be unintentionally present in cannabidiol-rich or hemp-based products by contamination or isomerization of cannabidiol. Due to the low concentrations expected, a sensitive and selec ...

Abstract:
... Encapsulation of active compounds into liquid marbles (LMs) represents an emerging technology with potential applications in several fields including food, cosmetics and pharmaceutics. However, existing methods for the preparation of LMs are either based on manual one-by-one fabrication or on batch processes such as high-shear granulation, which lack the required precision in LM size distribution. ...
... Bifunctional coupling agents have become unavoidable products for preparing hybrid materials with enhanced properties. They are at the origin of the homogeneous dispersion of the filler in the polymerizable matrix and the strong chemical interactions between the composites during the thermal reticulation and vulcanization processes. However, only few structures can play this role in a photo-curabl ...

Abstract:
... Cosmetics procedures and products combined with environmental insults and daily routines induce irreversible changes in hair. As result of damage, the hair loses some of its properties like strength, elasticity, and smoothness. Recent studies revealed the positive effects of protein-based cosmetics in providing protection to hair. Additionally, these cosmetic products have also shown a great abili ...

Abstract:
... Brown HT and carmoisine, which are the most used dyestuffs in pharmaceuticals, textiles, cosmetics and foods, are important components of the Azo family. Although the Azo group is not toxic or carcinogenic under normal conditions, these dyestuffs require great care due to the reduction of the Azo functional group to amines. In particular, fast, reliable, easy, on-site and precise determinations of ...

Abstract:
... Liposomes, which are formed from phospholipids, have been widely applied in cosmetics for skin enhancement. The polyol dilution (PD) method is commonly used to prepare liposomes in the cosmetic industry. An understanding of liposome physicochemical properties is essential for cosmetic-formulation design and application. However, there have been few studies on the characterization of liposomes prep ...
