This review consolidates evidence on 93 plant species used in Zimbabwe for treating 21 skin-related conditions, reporting antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, though safety data remains inconsistent.

This study investigated the potential mechanisms of Curcuma aeruginosa in treating androgenetic alopecia and identified 66 bioactive compounds interacting with proteins involved in the disorder, suggesting its involvement in hormone response and specific signaling pathways.

This study shows that NIPP1 deficiency in mouse epidermis leads to hyperproliferation, hair loss, and chronic skin inflammation, which can be partially alleviated by dexamethasone treatment.

This review suggests that the inner root sheath of human hair follicles may have broader regulatory roles beyond structural support, potentially impacting processes like folliculogenesis, anagen phase regulation, and immunomodulation.

This study discusses the limitations of current FDA-approved treatments for androgenic alopecia, noting significant sexual side effects with oral finasteride and formulation challenges with topical minoxidil, and highlights the potential of nanocarriers to improve drug delivery to hair follicles.

This review discusses the current therapies for androgenic alopecia, emphasizing topical formulations like minoxidil and finasteride and exploring the potential of dutasteride-loaded nanocarriers for targeting hair follicles to minimize systemic side effects from oral treatment.

Topical thyroid hormones may boost hair growth.

This study suggests that topically applied thyroid hormones T3 and T4 promote hair growth on human scalp tissues ex vivo, highlighting potential therapeutic use for hair loss conditions like androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, the deletion of NIPP1 in keratinocytes led to chronic skin inflammation and epidermal changes in mice, with early cell-cycle arrest and premature senescence observed, potentially contributing to reduced mutagen sensitivity.

This review summarizes the chemical composition and pharmacological properties of Teak (Tectona grandis) but presents no new research findings, emphasizing its use in traditional medicine and therapeutic potentials.

The study highlights Teak's (Tectona grandis) diverse applications beyond high-quality timber, emphasizing its bioactive compounds' pharmacological potential in cancer treatment and other uses across traditional medicine, cosmetics, and biodiesel production.

In this study, the researchers investigated the plant Vitex negundo and its active ingredients, noting that both natural and synthetic derivatives exhibit concentrated biological activity, which may explain the plant's traditional use in treating various ailments such as depression, malaria, and skin diseases.

This study identified that rose, thyme geraniol, palmarosa, and tolu balsam essential oils activate TRPV1, with citronellol and geraniol as newly recognized agonists.

This review explores the diverse roles of rosemary, covering its nutritional and medicinal uses, cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications, and evaluates various extraction methods, with a focus on sustainable practices and commercial prospects.

This study found that Sinja Valley residents possess traditional knowledge of 13 edible oil-producing plant species, yet this knowledge is at risk due to sociocultural changes. Despite its benefits, including treating disorders like gastritis, use of indigenous oils is declining as commercial products become prevalent.

In this double-blind randomized controlled trial, both rosemary extract lotion and 2% ketoconazole lotion were effective for treating scalp seborrheic dermatitis, but rosemary lotion reduced itching more significantly, while ketoconazole was more effective in reducing dandruff.

In this study, a nanoemulsion containing lavender, peppermint, and rosemary essential oils was developed and shown to promote hair growth in mice at a rate comparable to 2% topical minoxidil, suggesting a promising natural alternative due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

In this review, the authors examined the bioactive compounds in rosemary, noting its potential anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, wound-healing, and anticancer activities, and highlighted its use in traditional medicine and cosmetics for conditions such as aging, baldness, and sun damage.

In this review, researchers evaluated 111 studies on the biological activities and phytochemical components of the plant Tridax procumbens, emphasizing its ethnobotanical potential and the need for more research to understand its therapeutic benefits, especially in its native tropical regions.

This study concluded that rosemary essential oil rich in terpenes was successfully extracted using vacuum-assisted hydrodistillation, and Solid Phase Micro Extraction was superior for identifying volatile compounds compared to direct injection.

This review discusses the potential benefits of using natural permeation enhancers to improve transdermal drug penetration in formulations like emulgel, a promising topical delivery system for hydrophobic drugs.

This study reviewed the use of essential oils in cosmetics and highlighted that while chamomile, rosemary, and geranium oils can be applied directly to the skin when diluted, most essential oils require caution due to potential dermatological reactions.

This review of Cedrus libani highlights its potential as a source of natural antioxidants and antimicrobials and notes that it may offer analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits; however, further toxicological and clinical studies are necessary to confirm its safety and efficacy for treating human diseases.

This descriptive literature review suggests that rosemary essential oil may stimulate hair growth in androgenetic alopecia with effects similar to 2% minoxidil, yet highlights the need for more robust clinical trials to confirm these findings and assess complementary methods like scalp massage and high-frequency treatment.

This review discusses various plants and herbal formulations traditionally used for hair growth and notes their potential as safer alternatives to synthetic hair loss treatments, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the negative health impacts of testosterone deficiency and the potential adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors, emphasizing the need for patient-physician discussions regarding these treatments.

This review classifies engineered nanomaterials by composition and application in biomedicine, highlighting diverse uses like regenerative medicine and potential occupational side effects, but reports no new clinical results.

This report advances the hypothesis that finasteride and dutasteride inhibit 5α-reductase activities, potentially altering steroid metabolism and increasing the risk of insulin resistance, diabetes, and vascular disease.

This review discusses the historical and potential medical uses of Cyperus rotundus rhizomes, but reports no new clinical results and emphasizes the need for further study on its pharmacognostic properties.

This study found that Polygonum multiflorum and Panax japonicum extracts could promote hair regrowth in mice, suggesting potential use as hair tonics.
