March 2005 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” This study found that photochemical and cosmetic chemical oxidation of hair causes surface damage by delipidation and acid formation, which can be characterized and quantified using microfluorometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
February 2025 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” This research studied European human hair, finding that cysteic acid and protein carbonylation increased with both chemical and photochemical oxidation. Protein carbonylation was highlighted as a more sensitive marker for photochemical oxidation, providing better in situ visualization of hair damage than cysteic acid.

November 2003 in “PubMed” This study found that chemical and photochemical oxidative processes modify the main classes of proteins in hair, confirmed through microspectrophotometric, fluorescence microscopy, and electrophoretic methods.
August 2024 in “Applied Sciences” This review explored the causes of hair graying and evaluated how plant-derived extracts and phytochemicals might alleviate it, noting that certain compounds showed potential in enhancing melanocyte function, reducing oxidative stress, and influencing stress-related pathways based on experimental evidence.
August 2025 in “International Journal of Biochemistry Research & Review” In this study, G. brevis and M. myristica, alone or together, improved hematological and testicular antioxidant parameters in male rats with finasteride-induced reproductive toxicity, showing potential protective effects against oxidative stress and supporting therapeutic use for related male reproductive disorders.
