This research aims to evaluate the antioxidant properties of Humulus lupulus L. for cosmetic applications.
Investigated antioxidant capacity using ABTS, Folin–Ciocâlteu, and FRAP methods.
Tested cosmetic formulations enriched with Humulus lupulus L. extracts.
Conducted physicochemical stability tests involving pH monitoring and visual evaluation.
Performed in vivo studies to assess anti-irritant effects on the skin.
The hop extract showed limited free radical scavenging activity but confirmed antioxidant potential.
Cosmetic emulsions maintained substantial antioxidant activity and stability of bioactive compounds.
In vivo studies indicated a 10% reduction in erythema after three weeks of using cosmetics with HL extracts.
