Some magnesium salts and a mixture of magnesium and calcium salts accelerate skin barrier recovery
Abstract The effects of four different magnesium salts on the cutaneous barrier recovery rate after barrier disruption were evaluated. We spread an aqueous so- lution of each salt on the flank skin of hairless mice, occluded the area with a plastic membrane for 20 min, and then left the skin surface to dry.
Synthesis of N-ethanol-2-(myristyl/palmityl)- 3-oxo(stearamide/arachidamide) and its physical properties for a cosmetic raw material
As a cosmetic raw material, N-ethanol-2-(myristyl/palmityl)-3-oxo(stearamide/arachidamide) (PC-95) has been synthesized and its physical properties have been investigated.
The effect of vehicle on skin absorption of Mg2+ and Ca2+ from thermal spring water
Thermal spring waters (TSW) are commonly used as active ingredients in cosmetics. Their biological activities directly depend on the ionic composition of the spring. However, in order to exhibit beneficial properties, the minerals need to reach viable skin layers.
Skin Minerals: Key Roles of Inorganic Elements in Skin Physiological Functions
Although the life on Earth is carbon-based, several other elements present in the planet’s crust are involved in and often indispensable for functioning of the living organisms.

Epidermal barrier formation and the maintenance of barrier homeostasis are essential to protect us from the external envi- ronments and organisms. Moreover, impaired keratinocytes differentiation and dysfunctional skin barrier can be the pri- mary causes or aggravating factors for many inflammatory skin diseases including atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.
Calcium - a central regulator of keratinocyte differentiation in health and disease
Regular keratinocyte differentiation is crucial for the formation of an intact epidermal barrier and is triggered by extracellular calcium.
Disturbances of epidermal barrier formation and aberrant keratinocyte differentiation are involved in the pathophysiology of several skin diseases, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, basal and squamous skin cancer, and genetic skin diseases such as Darier’s disease and Olmstedt syndrome.
Women experience many physiologic changes during pregnancy, including increases in androgen levels. This might lead to development or worsening of acne vulgaris and an increase in hair growth on various parts of the body.
