Extrinsic aging is attributed to changes in the skin being influenced mainly by ultraviolet radiation (UV). Proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin 1 (IL-1), produced as a result of exposure to UV radiation, induce the production of MMPs in fibroblasts, resulting in an exacerbation of the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components, contributing to photoaging. In this study, we evaluated the effects of a cosmetic formulation containing nanoencapsulated glycolic acid on the production of collagen type I and III, MMP-1 and 9, and IL-1? using an in vitro model of human keratinocytes, fibroblasts and skin explant.Human fibroblasts and keratinocytes, were incubated for 48 hours with three concentrations of the cosmetic formulation previously determined by MTT method. Cell cultures were exposed to a dose of 10 J/cm2 UVA/B radiation and incubated with fresh culture medium for 24 hours for the measurement of collagen type I and III, MMP-1 and 9 (fibroblast) and IL-1? (keratinocytes). At the same time human skin fragments originating from elective plastic surgery were treated with the cosmetic formulation for semi-quantification of pro-collagen type I through immunofluorescence. As expected, our results demonstrate that UV radiation reduced the production of collagen type I and III and elevated the synthesis of MMP-1, MMP-9 and IL-1?. However, in comparison to the group exposed only to UV radiation the cosmetic formulation significantly stimulated the production of collagen type I and III in all evaluated concentrations. In relation to MMP-1 and -9 synthesis, the cosmetic formulation was able to prevent the rises induced by UV radiation exposition. The increase in IL-1? production was also reduced when keratinocyte cultures were pretreated with the cosmetic product. Immunofluorescence for pro-collagen type I was shown to be strongly increased in the treated group when compared to control group. The results obtained allow us to infer that cosmetic formulation containing nanoencapsulated glycolic acid exerts a positive effect on skin protection against photoaging, increasing the production of collagens and reducing the production of IL-1?, MMP-1 and 9, induced by exposure to UV radiation , protecting and restoring the extracellular matrix. Evaluation of human scalp permeation of hair care products using fluorescence technique 30th IFSCC Congress (International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists), Munich, 18-21 setembro, 2018.

The skin is a complex system consisting of epidermis, dermis and appendages intertwined between the two layers. The most superficial layer of the skin, the epidermis, is avascular and receives nutrients from the capillaries of the dermis. The corneal layer, considered the outermost of the epidermis, is about 15-20 microns thick and consists of corneocytes (differentiated, anucleated and keratinized keratinocytes) and lipid layers. This morphofunctional structure confers the barrier property of the skin and thus is the stratum corneum which limits permeation of substances. In this sense, cosmetic or pharmaceutical excipients and actives have been researched so that skin barriers are preserved, when the scope of an investigation is safety or diminished, when the goal is permeation. In this study we evaluated the cutaneous permeation of a shampoo and a hair tonic, formulated with a nanoencapsulated active, through fluorescence microscopy using human scalp fragments from elective plastic ritidoplasty. Skin fragments were treated with shampoo and a hair tonic, formulated with a nanoencapsulated active and labeled with Nile Red, for a period of 5 consecutive days. Histological procedures were carried out for posterior evaluation of the skin permeation through the visualization, recording and semi quantification of the fluorescence produced by the nanoencapsulated active labeled with the Red Nile dye. The evaluation of the images obtained revealed a greater intensity of the gray scale emitted by the red channel throughout the histo-anatomical region of hair follicles in the groups treated with both cosmetic formulations shampoo and hair tonic when compared to control and respective placebo formulations. These results were corroborated by the semi-quantification of the fluorescence intensity obtained in the fresh histological sections in the control group and treated with the investigational products. According to the obtained results, we can conclude that the products applied, isolated or associated, on the human scalp demonstrate permeation after 5 days of application throughout the hair follicle area. The association of the products showed a higher intensity of fluorescence when compared to the isolated treatments.
