Biophilic Design as a Bridge Between Applied Vastu and Contemporary Interior Design Practice in Urban Indian Residences
Abstract: The growing disconnect between urban Indian residents and the natural environment has prompted renewed interest in design strategies that restore human–nature connections within indoor spaces. This paper investigates the conceptual and practical convergence between biophilic design—a framework grounded in the innate human affinity for nature—and Vastu, the ancient Indian architectural science that prescribes spatial harmony through alignment with natural forces. Drawing on a qualitative review of existing literature, established biophilic …

Cosmetic Topical Formulations: Design Strategies, Skin Interaction Mechanisms, Clinical–Cosmetic Applications, and Emerging Trends
Abstract: Cosmetic topical products are central to modern skin care, as they deliver active ingredients directly to the skin surface and upper layers to improve appearance, texture, and function. By acting locally on the epidermis and adnexal structures, these preparations help manage dryness, photoaging, pigmentation, acne, and sensitive-skin conditions while minimizing systemic exposure. A wide range of dosage forms—creams, lotions, gels, ointments, serums, sprays, and transdermal-inspired cosmetic patches—are engineered to modulate …
