Contact Allergy to Ingredients of Hair Cosmetics Associated with Occupational and Non‐Occupational Exposure—Trends from 1995 to 2020 in Central Europe, with or without Regulation

Contact Dermatitis, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 347-363, April 2026.
Among 2678 female hairdressers and 6244 female consumers with contact dermatitis suspected to be related to use of hair cosmetics, including dyes, patch tested in the IVDK between 1995 and 2020, diverging contact allergy trends were observed. In the case of toluene‐2,5‐diamine (PTD) shown in the figure, sensitization was at a stable, high level in ...

Targeting JAK2/STAT3, NLRP3/Caspase-1, and PK2/PKR2 Pathways with Arbutin Ameliorates Lead Acetate-Induced Testicular Injury in Rats

Pharmaceuticals
The reproductive system of males is adversely impacted by lead (Pb), a toxic heavy metal. The present study examined arbutin, a promising hydroquinone glycoside, for its potential ameliorative impact against Pb-induced testicular impairment in rats.

Inclusion complex of water-soluble arbutin with β-cyclodextrin: Computer modeling and experimental studies

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications
A water-soluble arbutin was investigated for its potential to form an inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). Molecular modeling tests confirmed that arbutin can be accommodated within the cavity of β-CD primarily through Van der Waals forces ...

Encapsulation of alpha arbutin, a depigmenting agent, in nanosized ethosomes: Invitro and invivo human studies

Heliyon, 2023
Alpha arbutin is a skin-whitening agent in cosmetics. Structurally, it is 4-hydroxyphenyl-α-glucopyranoside. Ethosomes encourage the formation of lamellar-shaped vesicles with improved solubility and entrapment of whitening agents.

Flow Cytometry Role in Unlocking New Frontiers for Nanomedicine Applications of Plant‐Derived Vesicles

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale membrane‐bound vesicles released by any cell type under both physiological and pathological conditions. They carry a wide array of bioactive molecules, including microRNAs (miRNAs), lipids, proteins and other small biomolecules, and therefore play a key role in intercellular communication by ...

Enhanced Whitening Effect of the Formulations via Inhibition of Tyrosinase Activity by Combination of 4‐n‐Butylresorcinol, Licochalcone A and Glabridin at an Optimal Ratio

Skin Research and Technology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Companies launch tons of skin‐whitening products to cater to the consumer market. Though skin‐whitening cosmeceuticals are continuously developing, most cosmeceuticals are used alone, there is very little academic research conducting investigations into the effect of skin‐whitening cosmeceutical combinations. Objective In this study,
