This study identified the most common plants in hair cosmetics, like shampoos and dyes, with Rosmarinus officinalis L. and Lawsonia inermis L. leading, to serve as a reference for future research and healthcare professionals.

This review highlights the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosomes, noting their larger size compared to animal-derived exosomes and usefulness in targeted drug delivery and inter-kingdom communication. It summarizes existing research on their biogenesis, characterization, and engineering for drug delivery, indicating significant opportunities for biotechnological advancements.

This study evaluated a 20% cinchona extract cream and found it increased hair growth length and mass in guinea pigs, demonstrated good physical stability, and did not irritate rabbit skin.

This study found that Manganese PCA, Cinchona succirubra, and Leontopodium alpinum extracts may promote hair growth by enhancing VEGF secretion and activating the Wnt/b-catenin pathway in Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells.

This study found that the F6 formulation of a hair tonic containing EDS and ATG extracts produced the most significant hair growth in rabbits, without causing skin irritation and remaining stable throughout the observation period.

In a study on hair loss treatment, researchers found that a serum containing Cinchona succirubra extract and caffeine improved hair density and reduced hair loss in individuals with acute telogen effluvium after 16 weeks of use, with significant improvements observable after just 4 weeks.

In this clinical study, a serum containing Cinchona succirubra extract and Caffeine significantly improved hair growth and reduced hair loss in subjects with acute telogen effluvium.

This study found that alcoholic extracts of Cinchona succirubra, Dictamnus dasycarpus, Brassica juncea, and Sophora flavescens promoted hair growth in 5-week-old mice.

This review reports that Fenugreek seeds contain compounds like Galactomannan and Trigonelline, which show anti-diabetic and anti-hyperlipidemic effects, while Fenugreek leaves have high saponin content, contributing to their anti-microbial activities.

This review examines hormonal influences on acne development and available hormonal therapies but reports no new clinical results.

Plant-based ingredients in hair care are being replaced by synthetic alternatives.

This study suggests that Acrotrema arnottianum, a herb used in traditional medicine, contains biologically active metabolites like squalene and α-Tocopherol. It showed antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus and antifungal properties against Candida albicans, while demonstrating antioxidant activity.

This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of a cinchonine nanostructured lipid carrier serum for hair growth in mouse models, finding that it significantly increased hair length and enhanced follicle penetration compared to controls, with no notable irritation observed.

This review discusses the potential of plant-synthesized secondary metabolites as natural therapeutics for COVID-19 and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a shampoo containing a 6-active ingredient complex increased β-Catenin production in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells to levels comparable to Finasteride, suggesting potential for promoting hair growth. It also showed good cleaning efficacy, volume, and shine in a sensorial study.

This study undertook powder microscopy and preliminary phytochemical analysis of Buxus wallichiana's stem bark and leaves, identifying steroids, alkaloids, saponins, and glycosides without reporting clinical outcomes.
