How do absorption act in the skin ?


How do absorption act in the skin ?

Ref. B.W. barry, the transdermal route for the delivery of peptides and proteins, plenum press new Yord 1986

We care about the absorption after applying skincare products and cosmetics, especially the cosmeceuticals (cosmetics+pharmaceuticals). We call it “percutaneous absorption”.
percutaneous absorption has 3 ways
1.     Go through the hair and sweat pores
Most of the medicines and few cosmetics
2.     Through gap of keratinocytes
Most of cosmetics
3.     Pass stratum corneum and go to the deeper layers of epidermis
Only the small molecular weight of substance could pass, such that most of cosmetics cannot pass.

Most of cosmetics take effect through the gap of keratinocytes. The effect depends on ingredients. So adding cyclopentadecanone and cyclopentadecanolide in cosmetics to help penetration is the ways nowadays.

71.UVA and UVB Sun protection factor

UVA andUVB Sun protection factor SPF is Sun Protection Factor. The number is determined experimentally indoors by exposing human subjects to a light spectrum meant to mimic noontime sun.   The SPF number only relates to UVB protection.  UVA is measured by the other definition.  UVA protection is not measured through SPF numbers.  PA is the Japanese measurement of sun protection. It is one of protection grade of UVA  . UVA is based on the Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) reaction reading at 2-4 hours of sun exposure.  PA is a protective level of strength to mark the three PA+, PA++ and PA+++. SPF(sun protection factor) Standard: ISO 2444: 2010 cosmetic sun protection test method in vivo determination of SPF (sun protection factor) Test by erythema Minimal dose: MED (minimal erythema dose) Process: exposure to the UV (wave length 290-400nm) Test skin type: type I~ III (ITA 0 >28 0 ) Duration: 16-24hrs after exposure UVA-PF (UVA protection factor)

79.The roles of Vitamin in skin

The roles of Vitamin in skin As we know, the chemical changes induced by exposure to sunlight, we should be able to design a cosmeceutical regime to combat photodamage and reverse its effects. Vitamin molecules are the options and have the functions of metabolism, antioxidant and preventing free radical. 1.       Metabolism Vitamin A controls the conversion of pre–matrix metalloproteinases secreted by keratinocytes and fibroblasts into active matrix metalloproteinases, but with a deficiency of vitamin A, UV irradiation stimulates the unimpaired release of metalloproteinases that then destroy collagen and the anchoring fibrils. Without vitamin A, the rete pegs become flattened. Lang erhans cells need vitamin A to function, but if the vitamin A is inactivated by light, then they cannot function properly and recognize cells whose DNA has been damaged. 2.       Antioxidant Deficiencies of vitamin C permit more free radical damage . The main action of vitamin C is as an
