August 2024 in “Cosmetics” A 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 66 women working outdoors in urban areas demonstrated that a daily 250 mg oral supplementation of a botanical extract blend significantly improved skin and scalp health. The blend, containing extracts from Rosmarinus officinalis, Lippia citriodora, Olea europaea leaf, and Sophora japonica, enhanced skin antioxidant status, moisturization, radiance, and reduced wrinkle depth, dark spot pigmentation, and oiliness. For the scalp, there was increased moisturization, decreased transepidermal water loss, and reduced sebum content. Additionally, 71% of participants with sensitive scalps reported reduced redness.
