Assessment of viscoelasticity and hydration effect of herbal moisturizers using bioengineering techniques

Abstract: Background:A number of moisturizers are available containing natural hydrating, moisturizing, fi rming and occlusive property-imparting agent in the form of herbal extracts, juice and oils. The aim of this study is to assess the hydration and viscoelastic effect of commercially available herbal moisturizers, containing different herbs, on human skin, after a single and 3-week period of application using skin bio mechanical and electrical techniques.Materials and Methods:Twenty selected herbal moisturizers (HM)… Show more

“…Rzadziej wykorzystywane jest badanie skórnego przepływu krwi, rumienia i pigmentacji oraz pH skóry (9). Możliwy jest też pomiar lepkosprężystości (elastyczności) skóry, jednak nie jest to parametr ściśle zależny od reakcji wynikającej z podrażnienia, lecz odzwierciedla mechaniczne właściwości skóry na podstawie jej odpowiedzi na skrę-canie lub zasysanie (10).…”

“…Thus, Kapoor and Saraf (2010) assessed the hydration effect of twenty commercially available herbal moisturizers, containing different herbs, on human skin, through the capacitance method, some of which increased the level of skin hydration by 80%. However, in the cited study the authors attributed the hydration increase to the incorporated herbs without mentioning or analyzing the extracting solvent alone.…”
