Summary: Sensitive skin cosmetic products commonly contain active ingredients such as niacinamide, oat, glycyrrhetinic acid and derivatives, and Laminaria ochroleuca, with a focus on reducing skin inflammation and enhancing skin barrier function. The scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of these ingredients and their mechanisms of action is limited, highlighting the need for further research in this area. Promising ingredients like niacinamide, panthenol, and acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester show potential for improving sensitive skin conditions but require more robust clinical studies for validation.

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.

Summary: This paper provides an overview of the properties and recent developments in the application of chitosan and chitosan-based materials in cosmetics. Chitosan, a polysaccharide derived from chitin, is mainly extracted from cell walls in fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods. Its natural humectant and moisturizing effects on the skin, as well as its role as a rheology modifier, have attracted attention from both academia and the cosmetic industry. The review covers the structure of chitosan, its sources in the cosmetic industry, and its role in cosmetics. Future applications of chitosan-based materials in cosmetics are also discussed.

Summary: The skin, as the largest organ of the human body, plays a vital role in protecting the body and maintaining body temperature. However, the rise of the chemical industry has led to an increase in skin diseases. The presence of various microorganisms and their metabolites on the skin has functional properties for skin health. Fermented cosmetics, derived from Japanese traditional fermented foods, are expected to contribute to skin health in the natural skincare product market.

Summary: This study compared the lipid bilayer of atopic skin with that of healthy skin and found that atopic skin absorbed surfactants more easily, leading to reduced thickness and weakened structure of the lipid bilayer. Additionally, atopic skin lipid bilayer exhibited increased absorption of sodium laureth sulfate compared to normal skin lipid bilayer, indicating structural differences between the two.

Summary: Ergothioneine, a sulfur-containing micromolecular histidine derivative, has gained attention due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and melanin production inhibiting effects. It is transported and accumulated in mitochondria and nucleus through OCTN-1, suggesting its potential in targeting and protecting damaged cells and tissues. This review highlights the antioxidant effects of ergothioneine on various free radicals in vitro, introduces its biological activities and potential mechanisms, and briefly summarizes its application in cosmetics. Further research is needed to understand the mechanism of action of ergothioneine.
