This chapter reviews the chemistry and potential benefits of plant-based hair dyes in cosmetics, but it reports no new clinical results.

This chapter reviews formulation principles for creating cosmetic nanoemulsions and applications targeting skin and hair care, but does not present new experimental results.

The document says biodegradable cosmetics and packaging are better for the environment and user experience.

In this study, nanoemulsion formulations were found to significantly enhance the skin retention of the antiseptic agent triclosan, with the optimal mixture being a low surfactant concentration, as demonstrated through quantitative and qualitative analysis using tape-stripping and micro CT scans.

In this review, researchers explored the roles of vitamins A, B3, C, D, and E in skin immunity, highlighting their potential as therapeutics for skin diseases due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.

This review discusses the role of inheritance, androgens, and microinflammation in androgenetic alopecia and suggests some plant-based folk remedies may help address these factors but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the ethyl acetate extract of Fagraea berteroana fruits and its fraction FEAE-F0 promoted cell proliferation and modulated gene expression in hair follicle cells, suggesting potential for hair growth stimulation.

In this study, extracts from Chenopodium quinoa, Glycine max, and Malpighia emarginata demonstrated stability, low toxicity, and effective cleaning potential as surfactants in shampoo formulations, showing performance similar to or better than commercial shampoos in terms of surface and interfacial tension and sebum removal.

In this study, researchers produced a biosurfactant from yeast that effectively reduces surface tension, acts as a good oil emulsifier, demonstrates antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and exhibits no cytotoxicity, suggesting its potential use in eco-friendly cosmetic formulations.

This study examines the role of nanotechnology in cosmetics, highlighting its benefits in improving ingredient solubility and stability, but also noting challenges such as cost, shelf life, and safety concerns, along with regulatory complexities, particularly in harmonizing global legislation.

This study developed an organic hair conditioner using chitosan-thiadiazole conjugates that showed improved hair detangling, moisture retention, and protection without causing irritation, promising an environmentally sustainable approach to hair care.

This study found that calcipotriol scalp solution was more effective than a coal tar-based shampoo for treating mild to moderate scalp psoriasis and showed continued efficacy with long-term use.

Coconut oil can penetrate hair better than mineral oil, potentially protecting against damage.

This study found that coconut oil significantly increased the tensile strength of twisted hair fibers due to its ability to penetrate the hair core, in contrast to mineral oil.

This study found that coconut oil clinically helps with brittle hair and hair infestation, while evidence for castor and argan oils improving hair growth or quality is weak.

This study found that SESA oil significantly improved hair and scalp ailments more than coconut oil, with no adverse reactions reported during the study period.

In this study, the application of a coconut milk and egg white pack on the scalp reportedly reduced hair fall and enhanced hair growth over a 90-day period among participants.
