Skin Research Focused on Broccoli and Cauliflower from Biota Laboratories
Biota Laboratories R&D Center examined the effects of plant sources such as broccoli and cauliflower on acne-prone skin through laboratory and dermatological tests.
In scientific studies conducted by the Biota Laboratories R&D Center, the potential of plant sources frequently consumed in the kitchen, such as broccoli and cauliflower, in acne-prone skin care was addressed in detail.
The Place of Plant Sources in Skin Care
Broccoli and cauliflower, consumed in kitchens, have become the subject of scientific research with their potential in skin care as well as their nutritional properties. In studies conducted by the Biota Laboratories R&D Center, various plant actives evaluated in acne-prone skin care were examined in a laboratory environment. In the research, extract groups such as walnut shell, myrtle, chamomile, nettle, and rose were addressed alongside broccoli and cauliflower.
In Vitro Examinations in Laboratory Environment
In in vitro studies, the effects of plant extracts on the P. acnes bacteria associated with acne were investigated. The effects of the extract group containing broccoli and cauliflower on biological markers associated with inflammation in skin cells were examined in detail.
Findings in Cell Culture Studies
In cell culture studies, changes occurring in markers such as IL-1, TNF-, and SRD5A1 were evaluated. It was observed that the extract group containing broccoli and cauliflower exhibited a suppressive effect on a portion of the markers examined within the scope of the research.
Results of the Dermatological Study
Apart from laboratory research, the efficacy and safety of the finished product containing plant actives were also evaluated dermatologically. According to the results of the four-month study conducted at Dermatest in Germany, a decrease of up to 70 percent in the number of blackheads and up to 100 percent in clogged pores and rough appearance was reported.
Multi-Stage Research Approach
The research model combined two different scientific stages: first, examining the microbiological and cellular effects of plant actives in a laboratory environment, and then dermatologically evaluating the finished formula. The studies showed that the potential of plant sources in skin care can be investigated together with microbiological tests, cell culture research, and dermatological evaluations.
