Innovation around product formats, sustainability goals and target outcomes had long been on the agenda for beauty supplement manufacturers and brands. But research institutions, ingredient suppliers and brands had also stayed sharply focused on building scientific knowledge and understanding on specific active ingredients and blends that could be suitable for future formulations.
In this round-up, CosmeticsDesign-Europe reviews some of the more recent published studies investigating ingredients that worked from the inside-out for a range of edible beauty needs.
Fruits forever – tomato extracts and grape powders
A study published in Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications conducted by researchers in Japan showed that saponins from tomato seeds might improve skin elasticity in healthy women. Findings demonstrated that consuming 200mg per day of the tomato seed extract led to significant improvements in measures of facial elasticity specifically.
A separate Lycored-funded study published in Molecules detailed the mechanisms around how tomato extracts, alongside rosemary extracts, protected the skin against ultraviolet (UV) radiation and therefore contributed to skin health and appearance. Findings showed that the phytonutrients present in the blend regulated the transcription factors that played a role in inflammation, cell production, differentiation, and protection.
Moving beyond tomatoes, a two-part study funded by the California Table Grapes Commission, published in American Academy of Dermatology showed that consuming whole grape powder also protected against UV skin damage, likely due to the polyphenol content of the fruit. Findings demonstrated consuming the powder daily led to a resistance to sunburn and reduction in markers of UV damage at the cellular level.
