A novel approach to target skin photodamage: Topical application of salt inducible kinase inhibitors
UV‐induced photodamage leads to increased DNA damage and elevated MMP levels, which degrade collagen and contribute to wrinkle formation. SLT‐001 and SLT‐008, novel cosmetic ingredients that target salt‐inducible kinase, help reverse this effect by enhancing DNA repair, reducing MMP expression and decreasing erythema, thereby mitigating photodamage ...

Development of a lip colour chart across four ethnicities
The present study revealed a large lip colour diversity across four ethnic groups. The inter‐group overlaps demonstrate that lip colour is not solely defined by individual ethnic belonging. The 53 lip tones described here could be used as target shades to create more inclusive nude lipsticks in the near future. Abstract In the human face, the lips play

Porphyrins, previously linked only to acne inflammation, are now implicated in skin ageing. Their presence correlates with increased melanin, inflammation, and oxidative stress, contributing to premature ageing signs. This study introduces the concept of “Porphyr'ageing,” highlighting the detrimental effects of bacterial metabolites on skin health and ...

Bioretinoids from microalgae: Boosting retinol performance and tolerability
A novel microalgae‐derived bioretinoid (MBR) enhances skin regeneration, improves pigmentation, and reduces signs of ageing more effectively than bakuchiol and comparably to retinol—without the irritation. MBR also synergizes with retinol, boosting hydration and safety. A powerful, gentle alternative for advanced skincare.
