Consumer Misuse of Cosmeceuticals and Its Role in Adverse Skin Reactions
Abstract: Cosmeceuticals represent a rapidly expanding category of products positioned between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, offering both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits. However, their widespread availability, aggressive marketing, and perception as inherently safe have contributed to increasing instances of consumer misuse. Misuse includes over-application, inappropriate combinations, prolonged unsupervised use, and use of high-potency active ingredients without dermatological guidance. Such practices have been strongly associated with a broad spectrum of adverse cutaneous reactions ranging …

Zeolite-Y Encapsulated Copper (II) and Cobalt (II) Species as Hybrid Nano-catalysts: Structural and Catalytic Aspects
Abstract: Special properties inherent to zeolites in facilitating the construction of novel upramolecular assemblies by encapsulation of guest molecules (metal complexes) into their large cages can be utilized to use these assembled materials as novel catalysts. These modified solids have the advantages of both behaving as the homogeneous and the heterogeneous catalytic system. In the present work, copper (II) and cobalt (II) complexes of 2-amino ethanoic acid (2-AEA) encapsulated in the …

Review on Unveiling the Shadow of Hyperpigmentation
Abstract: Natural products offer promising solutions for treating skin pigmentation disorders due to their non-toxic properties and effective mechanisms of action. Studies highlight their safety and efficacy through methods such as cytotoxicity tests, tyrosinase activity assays, and melanogenesis inhibition evaluations. Advanced delivery systems like liposomes and nanoparticles further enhance their performance by improving solubility and skin penetration. Skin pigmentation disorders, influenced by factors such as UV radiation, hormonal changes, and inflammation, …
