Summary: The study examined preservatives in consumer products in accordance with Philippine legislation, finding that MCI, MI, and formaldehyde were commonly used preservatives. Most products provided accurate ingredient lists as required by Philippine regulations, but some discrepancies were found in the labeling of products.

Summary: This study reviewed the literature on allergic reactions caused by different lip care cosmetic products, and found that lipsticks, lip balms, and other lip care products were associated with allergic reactions. Common ingredients that caused allergic contact dermatitis included castor oil and benzophenone-3. Awareness among the general public and dermatologists about potential allergens in lip care cosmetic products needs to be raised.

Summary: This study investigated exposure to fragrance allergens among Danish children based on a sample of 1179 cosmetic products marketed for children. The results showed that 4.4% of these products contained fragrances, with some products even containing multiple fragrances. The study suggests that children using fragranced cosmetics may be exposed to a vast number of allergens.

Summary: This study evaluates the sensitization potency of fragrance chemicals using a 2D coculture model of keratinocytes and dendritic cells. The results suggest that α,β-unsaturated alcohols are weaker sensitizers compared to their corresponding aldehydes.

Summary: In this study, a novel murine model of Pd-induced allergies in the oral mucosa was established, and the immune response of cytokine profiles and T cell diversity in terms of the T cell receptor were explored. The model demonstrated that a Pd-specific T cell population with Th2 type response tendencies may be involved in the Pd-induced intraoral metal contact allergy.

Summary: A novel murine model of Cr-induced intraoral metal contact allergy was established in this study to investigate the immune response in terms of cytokine profiles and T-cell receptor repertoire. It was found that Cr-specific T-cells and potent NKT-cell activation may be involved in the immune responses of Cr-induced intraoral metal contact allergy.

Summary: A retrospective analysis of North American Contact Dermatitis Group data from 1994-2016 revealed that patients with eyelid dermatitis were more likely to be female, white, and over 40 years old, with a higher prevalence of hay fever, atopic dermatitis, or both. Allergic contact dermatitis was a common primary diagnosis among these patients.

Summary: Recent studies have shown similar or higher rates of positive patch-test results in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) compared to non-AD patients. This study found that approximately half of the patients who underwent patch testing had a positive reaction, with nickel sulfate being the most frequent sensitizing allergen.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of hand eczema (HE) and its association with comorbidities and self-reported symptoms among professional hospital cleaners. The results showed that the lifetime and 1-year prevalence of HE among cleaners were 30.3% and 18.9% respectively. HE was significantly associated with a history of atopic diseases, self-reported redness and itch of the hands in the last 12 months, and frequent use of hydrochloric acid. Cleaners are at an elevated risk of developing HE, and more education and information regarding prevention and treatment are necessary.

Summary: Surfactants are compounds with hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads, which act as a bridge between oil and water. They have various uses, such as cleaning, foaming, and other applications in different fields. However, they also have the potential to damage the skin barrier. The use of new compounds has revealed the potential to cause allergic contact dermatitis, and it is important to have knowledge about this potential and associated dermatitis.

Summary: The potential cosmetic applications of chitosan-based films containing hyaluronic acid and rutin were studied. Rutin affected the thermal stability and surface roughness of the films, but did not influence the structure of chitosan. The proposed chitosan-rutin mask showed improvements in skin elasticity and moisturization.
