May 2026 in “Applied Sciences” This review highlights the potential of sprout extracts in skin care and hair growth, emphasizing their bioactive compounds like phenolic acids and flavonoids, which offer antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging benefits. A total of 31 studies were analyzed, showing that sprout extracts can stimulate collagen synthesis, inhibit matrix metalloproteinases, improve epidermal hydration, and suppress inflammatory pathways. Preliminary clinical studies suggest improvements in skin elasticity, hydration, and photoprotection, although most evidence is from in vitro and animal studies. This supports the concept of "food for skin" and suggests sprout extracts as promising multifunctional dermatological ingredients.
May 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is a medicinal plant valued in cosmetics for its antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties, largely due to its rich content of silica, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and saponins. It is particularly beneficial for strengthening hair structure, boosting collagen production, and improving skin elasticity. The extract is used in various formulations like creams, gels, serums, and shampoos, showing promising stability and effectiveness. However, challenges remain in standardization, stability, and clinical validation. Overall, horsetail extract holds significant potential for innovative cosmeceutical products.
