“…47 Many studies indicate that the anti-aging activity is due to the free radical scavenging action of the ginseng ginsenosides and inhibition of lipoperoxidation. 48 Ginseng has potential side effects. The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) classifies ginseng as a Class 2d herb, which means that its use is subject to restrictions.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-aging potential and skin safety of red ginseng (RG) and fermented red ginseng (FRG) using Lactobacillus brevis for use as cosmetic ingredients. Concentrations of uronic acid, polyphenols, and flavonoids, and antioxidant activities were greater in FRG compared to RG. The contents of total ginsenosides were not significantly different. However, the ginsenoside metabolite content was higher in FRG (14,914.3 lg/mL) compared to RG (5697.9 lg/mL). The tyrosinase inhibitory activity (IC50) of FRG was 27.63 lg/mL, and more potent compared with RG (34.14 lg/mL), (P < .05). The elastase inhibitory activity (IC50) of FRG was 117.07 lg/mL also higher compared with RG (157.90 lg/mL). In a primary skin irritation test, 10% RG and 10% FRG were classified as practically nonirritating materials. In a skin sensitization test, the RG group showed a sensitization rate of 100% and its mean evaluation score of irritation was 1.4, whereas the FRG group showed 20% and 0.2%, respectively. By fermentation of RG, FRG has increased contents of ginsenoside metabolites, such as Rg3, Rg5, Rk1, compound K, Rh1, F2, Rg2, and flavonoids content. Therefore, FRG offers increased antiwrinkle efficacy, whitening efficacy, and reduced toxicological potency compared to RG.KEY WORDS: cosmeceutical fermented red ginseng red ginseng skin safety

“…Because of the constantly growing use of chemicals and their harmful consequences in peoples' health, scien-tists started to look for alternative findings to surpass these problems. Thus herbals have gain attention in the cosmetology [1] [2]. Eco-friendly cosmetics appeared in the early 1900s.…”

In this present work, ultrafiltration was applied for the purification of agro waste Greek red saffron. The agro waste saffron (before and after ultrafiltration) was used for the preparation of oilin-water emulsions. Produced emulsions were examined for their viscosity, pH and conductivity during time. Also surface tension values of the aqueous and oily phase of the emulsions were measured. Saffron is known for its antioxidant and anti-solar properties. Anti-solar activity of saffron was evaluated by measuring the SPF value of the emulsion. UV-Vis measurements have shown an incredible increase of the absorption of saffron after ultrafiltration. The emulsions made with the purified saffron presented a better anti-solar activity and at the same time remarkably improvement of their antioxidant and antiaging properties giving a very promising alternative to the cosmetic industry.

“…Na tentativa de encontrar ingredientes alternativos e com ação fotoprotetora para aplicação em cosméticos, ocorreu sensível aumento nos estudos envolvendo compostos de origem natural. A estratégia de investigação de novos compostos envolve potencial ação antioxidante e/ou presença de cromóforos em sua molécula que them against UV radiation, could provide synergistic and complementary role in sunscreens for improved sun protection (8,(14)(15)(16)(17). Some studies have shown favourable evidence regarding the use of oils and plant extracts in formulations aimed at sun protection (8,17,18).…”

The literature has shown the antioxidant potential of compounds existing in murumuru (Astrocaryum murmuru), cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum) and cocoa (Theobroma cacao) butters that recommends further investigation. The objectives of this research were: (1) to develop bioactive photoprotective formulations containing cocoa, murmuru or cupuaçu butters in association with a physical sunscreen (titanium dioxide (TiO2)) and (2) determine the possible photoprotective activity of butters and their interactions with the sunscreen. Cocoa, cupuaçu and murumuru butter were individually associated to TiO2 in O / W emulsions. The anti-UVA and UVB efficacy in vitro was estimated by diffuse transmittance analysis in a Labsphere® UV2000S, using quartz plates and Transpore® tape to obtain the SPF (sun protection factor) and critical wavelength. Photoprotective formulations containing titanium dioxide and bioactive butters were obtained using Aristoflex® AVC and triglycerides of caprylic capric acid (GTCC). The SPF of the samples containing only TiO2 and formulations containing cocoa, murumuru or cupuassu butters associated with TiO2 ranged from 4 to 5. The critical wavelength values for these formulations ranged from 383.0 to 386.7 nm. The results indicated no increase in the SPF value for formulations containing vegetable butters. The critical wavelength values indicated their potential to absorb part of the UVA radiation.Keywords: titanium dioxide, bioactive butters, Theobroma cacao, Theobroma grandiflorum, Astrocaryum murumuru, in vitro SPF ResumoOs ingredientes de origem natural podem representar alternativas para formulação de protetores solares, sem que haja comprometimento de sua eficácia.
