Effect of Skin Barrier Damage on Absorption and Action of Cosmeceuticals
Abstract: The skin acts as a primary defensive barrier protecting the human body against environmental aggressors, microbial invasion, and chemical exposure. The integrity of the skin barrier, particularly the stratum corneum, plays a crucial role in regulating the permeation of substances applied topically. Cosmeceuticals, a hybrid category between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, are designed to deliver biologically active ingredients into the skin to exert therapeutic or beneficial effects. However, the condition of …

Catalysed Biofuels Using Vegetable Oils and Animal Fats
Abstract: It is a first to use biochemical modification of fats to create fuel for transport. The chemical transformation is required to produce products that are more useful and have qualities similar to those of crude oil-derived fuels. Biodiesel (a combination of methyl esters produced by transesterification) and green diesel are the two forms of fuels discussed (paraffins produced by hydrogenation of oils). Three bio-lubricant synthesis strategies are also discussed. Biofuels …
