      alpha hydroxyl acids (AHAs) might be interesting to look more into, or even develop a blog post about

    Anti-aging cosmetics might be a good topic, but once again, as long as we don't stray too far into biology and stay focused on the chemistry of the topic.

    I was actually trying to find an article on the chemical processes behind anti-aging cremes the other day but I haven't found a good one yet. You are definitely right though, I think anti-aging cosmetics could be a really interesting topic to look into especially to see if these cosmetics actually can produce significant results.

    Yeah it seems as though there isn't really one certain chemical process that prevents all types of aging, but rather there are a bunch. I wrote an article about antioxidants, but another widespread one seems to be alpha hydroxy acids AHAs

      Anticoagulants, antifibrinolytics and haemostatics are three more topics to pursue under teh larger topic of anti-aging cosmetics

  • Syn-Coll stimulates the collagen synthesis in human fibroblasts. Skin aging and chronic UV exposure particularly, leads to degenerative changes in skin. The degenerative changes in skin are characterized by distinct alterations in the composition of the dermal extra cellular matrix.
  • Tissue growth factor is known as the key element in the synthesis of collagen and binds to a particular sequence in the TSP molecule. This sequence is known as ARG-PHE-LYS.
  • As a molecule able to activate TGF, Syn-Coll is considered to be an ideal aqueous based peptide. It contains a unique sequence designed to mimic the human body's own mechanism to product collagen via TGF. Accordingly, Syn-Coll actively compensates for any collagen deficit, thus making the skin look younger and rejuvenated.
  • The results of the Syn-Coll clinical studies are astounding. After 84 days of twice-daily application, a panel of 60 volunteers experienced 2.5% Syn-Coll parameters average relief (Rz) and maximum relief (Rt) significantly decreased by -12%: -22 μm and -36 μm respectively (p= 0.05) characterizing smoothing and anti wrinkle effects.

      Looks like this ingredient actually works!

    maybe we should look at the chemistry behind simvastatin - how it can penetrate the skin? after that it's a lot of biology

    Really interesting article although this seems to be straying a little from cosmetics. It also might be hard to relate this back to what we are discussing in class. Looking at cosmetics that also help heal people's bodies could be a possible blog post.
  • Andrew Kang on 12 Dec 12
     
    Yeah that's what I was worried about. And good idea!
  • Jenny Mu on 12 Dec 12
     
    I like the idea of just looking at how it penetrates the skin, and I think we can relate it back to cosmetics through that because a lot of cosmetic products need to find effective ways to get their ingredients to penetrate the skin, because otherwise, they wouldn't really work. just an idea

    Kind of going off of what Katie said about cosmetics healing the body, you can always find the foundation commercials advertising regenerating ingredients that "take years off your face." it can be a different angle to discuss instead of usual topic of how facial cosmetics cause premature aging.
  • Andrew Kang on 14 Dec 12
     
    People often forget that cosmetics also encompasses things that benefit your health as well. I made one blog post already about how anti-aging creams work but I never looked at foundation and other products.
  • Katie Rigdon on 16 Dec 12
     
    That could be a really cool blog post Andrew- makeup that is actually beneficial to your skin. I know there are some concealers that not only cover acne but actually contain ingredients that help heal it! I'm sure there are lots of other products like that.

    A lot of commercials say that their product will help clear skin, but how many actually do? And what do they use to do it?
