This study observed that skin dryness does not seem to indicate impaired epidermal barrier function, as there was no negative correlation between stratum corneum water content and transepidermal water loss.

In this study, the combination of biologically engineered hyaluronic acid and polyquaternium-10 improved hyaluronic acid's retention and moisturizing effects on hair by forming a stable complex that increased binding affinity to keratin.

This study found that the nonionic surfactant Brij 78 stabilized cationic minoxidil microparticles against aggregation, maintaining their substantivity in the presence of excess anionic surfactant.

In this study, incorporating a novel amino acid compound into a hair-straightening formulation improved humidity-resistant straightening and enhanced the surface and mechanical properties of hair fibers, including increased bending stiffness, reduced friction, and better shape retention under high temperature and humidity conditions.

In this study, pre-treatment with steam towel, l-menthol, and CA-carpronium enhanced the absorption of minoxidil nanoparticles in mice, potentially increasing therapeutic efficiency without side effects.

This review covers various disorders of cornification and their treatments, offering clinical insights but reporting no new research findings.

This study found that the moisture sorption and desorption process can differentiate between cosmetic treatments of hair and provide insights into hair fibre structure changes, with bleaching causing greater symmetry breaking than perming.

This study found that minoxidil applied to a damp scalp may increase drug penetration in vitro, potentially improving treatment effectiveness.

This study found that hair treated with a supplemental hair care product showed significantly higher absorption, deeper penetration, and reduced dryness compared to untreated and water-treated hair, as measured with 3D Raman spectroscopy.

This study found that culturing hair follicles at the air-liquid interface enhanced hair growth and maintained an anagen-like morphology better than submerged cultures.

This study presents a method for directly measuring the solubility of solid chemicals in the skin's stratum corneum under various humidity conditions, emphasizing its importance for dermal drug delivery and chemical safety assessments.

This study found that minoxidil in Espumil Foam Base remains stable for at least 90 days when stored at room temperature and protected from light.

This study found that massaging hair treatments into hair improved the treatment's effectiveness by reducing hair waviness and enhancing shape cohesion.

This study observed that liposomes encapsulating minoxidil and PEP penetrate the skin at a slower rate but may reach deeper layers compared to a foam formulation.

This study observed that lipids in human hair accumulate in specific areas and do not significantly impact water permeability, highlighting the utility of AFMIR for studying complex biomaterials.

In a randomized clinical trial presented in this study, a novel lip hydrant with polyherbal extracts significantly reduced lip roughness and chapped lips compared to petroleum gel over 28 days among Thai participants, although both treatments improved perceived lip dryness.

This study found that a 2% minoxidil cream for androgenous alopecia maintained optimal rheological properties for consistent application and long-term stability.

This study found that an optimized microemulsion for minoxidil with high solubility, permeation flux, and skin deposition can be achieved with specific low and high levels of certain surfactants and co-solvents.

In this laboratory study, eucalyptus oil, menthol, and urea were found to enhance the skin permeability of minoxidil in rat skin by increasing flux and diffusion coefficients compared to untreated skin.

This study found that daily use of an emollient PLUS containing ADE-G1 significantly reduced xerosis severity and improved quality of life in cancer patients, regardless of their initial xerosis severity or cancer treatment.

This study found that an anhydrous gel formulation containing sertaconazole nitrate effectively penetrated the stratum corneum for treating fungal infections without causing irritation.

This study found that a conditioner treatment using 18-MEA combined with a specific cationic surfactant effectively restored hydrophobicity and reduced friction on damaged hair surfaces.

This study reported the preparation of stable oil-in-water nanoemulsions that effectively incorporate ceramide-like molecules and minoxidil, suggesting these formulations may enhance distribution and availability of hydrophobic compounds in cosmetic applications.

In this study, the use of two emollients significantly reduced itching severity in individuals with xerotic eczema, starting 30 minutes post-application, and improved skin moisture and lipid content over 14 days, while demonstrating good tolerance with few adverse events.

This study found that adding certain conditioning agents, including jojoba oil and lauryl PEG/PPG‐18/18 methicone, to ammonium thioglycolate straightening emulsions protected Afro-ethnic hair from protein loss and improved resistance to breakage.

This study tested the effects of protective pre-treatments on African hair and found that these treatments, combined with moderate grooming, may help maintain cuticle integrity.

This study found that the keratin matrix in mammalian hard α-keratins is crucial for maintaining stiffness in water by controlling intermediate filament hydration.

In this study, OEA was found to significantly enhance sebaceous lipogenesis and potentially reduce inflammation in human sebocytes, suggesting it as a promising candidate for treating skin dryness.
