Overview

Randomized trial evaluates photoprotective effects of cosmetic ingredients against infrared radiation.

Key Points

  • The study aims to assess the effectiveness of certain cosmetic ingredients in protecting the skin from infrared radiation.
  • Developed formulations with varying concentrations of ferulic acid, citrus pectin, and dextran using an amphiphilic carrier.
  • Utilized directional hemispherical reflectance (DHR) method for optical and thermal property evaluation.
  • Conducted evaluations using an ex vivo model.
  • All formulations significantly reduced reflectance in the near- and mid-infrared range.
  • Ferulic acid showed the strongest absorption effect against infrared energy.
  • Formulations enhanced surface thermal emissivity, promoting better heat dissipation.
