(Press-News.org) DURHAM, N.C., March 17, 2023 – Burt’s Bees, the #1 dermatologist recommended natural skin care brand,* announced its latest research findings on the benefits of a topical bakuchiol-containing sunscreen in treating redness and pigmentation of photodamaged facial skin. Burt’s Bees also published research findings on a topical treatment in improving the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation associated with acne. These studies, available online via ePoster, have been developed for the American Academy of Dermatology 2023 Annual Meeting (AAD) Mar. 17–21, 2023, in New Orleans, LA.
The latest research findings from Burt’s Bees highlight:
Tolerability of a bakuchiol-containing mineral, broad-spectrum sunscreen to effectively protect, firm, and smooth photodamaged skin
Efficacy of a nature-based topical cream containing Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice root), Curcuma longa (turmeric root), and Terminalia chebula in targeting hyperpigmentation, including dark spots and age spots
"We are eager to share our latest clinical data demonstrating the efficacy of nature-based products at this year’s American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting,” said Hemali Gunt, PhD, head of clinical and scientific affairs at Burt’s Bees. “Extending our research on bakuchiol, this new study utilizes robust imaging analysis for an objective measurement of changes to hyperpigmentation and redness, which is corroborated with dermatologist grading.”

About the Research: A study of 27 female participants with clinically diagnosed sensitive skin and mild-to-moderate photodamaged skin (35–60 years) evaluated a photostable, broad-spectrum SPF 30 product with inorganic sunscreen actives and bakuchiol in a 12-week study using standardized, high-resolution facial photographs captured and analyzed for facial erythema (redness) and pigmentation.
Results showed a statistically significant decrease in skin pigmentation and redness from the baseline over the 12 weeks and a 20% improvement in skin hydration and maintenance of skin barrier function
Results confirmed that the nature-based, broad-spectrum sunscreen was effective in improving the health of photodamaged skin without causing the signs of irritation typically observed with retinol products
“This is the first time we’ve seen a bakuchiol-containing formula demonstrate a decrease in erythema,” adds Raja Sivamani, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Integrative Skin Science and Research and UC Davis, in California. “With this groundbreaking research, patients don’t have to compromise and choose between more even skin tone, the retinol-alternative benefits of bakuchiol, and an effective mineral sun protection.”

About the Research: A study of 39 female participants with moderate acne-induced, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) (Fitzpatrick skin type I-VI) (18–64 years) evaluated the effectiveness of a nature-based topical treatment containing Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice root), Curcuma longa (turmeric root), and Terminalia chebula in reducing the appearance of PIH associated with acne.
Results showed a statistically significant improvement from baseline in skin brightness, smoothness, tone evenness, and overall skin condition, a reduction in melanin scores and corresponding pigmentation, and a 15% improvement in skin hydration and maintenance of skin barrier function
Results confirmed that treatment with the nature-based topical cream was clinically safe and effective in improving the appearance of acne-induced PIH
“Hyperpigmentation disorders, including post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and solar lentigines, are increasingly common conditions affecting most skin types and can have a significant impact on patient quality of life,” said Zoe D. Draelos, MD, a board-certified dermatologist. “In this research, the investigator, subject, and objective assessments all concurred to show an improvement in skin brightness with the formula, which incorporates three botanical tyrosinase inhibitors. Additionally, skin condition improved overall, including on the metrics of smoothness, evenness, pigmentation, and hydration.”

Resistant bacteria are a global problem. Now researchers may have found the solution
2023-03-17
Staphylococcus aureus. You may have had it in connection with a wound infection. In most cases, it will pass without treatment, while severe cases may require antibiotics, which kills the bacteria. This is the case for the majority of the population. In fact, many of us – though we feel perfectly fine – carry staphylococci in the nose, a good, moist environment in which the bacteria thrive.
However, more and more staphylococci are becoming resistant to antibiotics (also known as multi resistant staphylococcus aureus or MRSA), and these infections can be difficult to treat.

An elegant new orchid hiding in plain sight
2023-03-17
It is extremely rare for a new plant species to be discovered in Japan, a nation where flora has been extensively studied and documented. Nevertheless, Professor SUETSUGU Kenji and his associates recently uncovered a stunning new species of orchid whose rosy pink petals bear a striking resemblance to glasswork (Fig. 1). Since it was initially spotted near Hachijo Island in Tokyo Prefecture, the new species has been given the name Spiranthes hachijoensis. Interestingly, it can be found in familiar environments such as lawns and parks, and even in private gardens and on balconies. This research suggests ...
Investigating the effects on amide-to-ester substitutions on membrane permeability of cyclic peptides
2023-03-17
Cyclic peptides often exhibit low membrane permeability which can be significantly improved via amide-to-ester substitutions—as demonstrated by researchers from Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech). The utilization of substitutions shown in this study can be used to develop cyclic peptides with high membrane permeability and oral bioavailability for clinical and therapeutic applications.
Interest in cyclic peptides, a class of organic molecules, has reached a new high recently. Their ability as inhibitors has made them ...

Study shines new light on ancient microbial dark matter
2023-03-17
Bacteria are literally everywhere – in oceans, in soils, in extreme environments like hot springs, and even alongside and inside other organisms including humans. They’re nearly invisible, yet they play a big role in almost every facet of life on Earth.
Despite their abundance, surprisingly little is known about many microorganisms that have existed for billions of years.
This includes an entire lineage of nano-sized bacteria dubbed Omnitrophota. These bacteria, first discovered based on short fragments of DNA just 25 years ago, are common in many environments around the world but have been poorly understood. Until now.

An age-old battle: Scientists uncover what makes malaria such a wily foe
2023-03-17
Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes the deadliest form of malaria in humans, is a master evader, and has dodged all attempts at an effective and durable vaccine. Now, using a sophisticated method that characterizes how antibodies respond to all of the parasite’s roughly 5,400 proteins, researchers at Chan Zuckerberg Biohub–San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) and UC San Francisco (UCSF) have created the first high-resolution map of the human immune response to P. falciparum, offering insight into what makes this parasite such a persistent pathogen.

THE LANCET PUBLIC HEALTH: Elite football players are more likely to develop dementia, suggests Swedish study
2023-03-17
Peer-reviewed / Observational study / People
New study including 6,007 male football (soccer) players who played in the Swedish top division between 1924 to 2019 suggests they were 1.5 times more likely to develop neurodegenerative disease compared to population controls.
Elite football players had increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, but their risk was not increased for motor neuron disease (including ALS), and their risk of Parkinson’s disease was lower compared to controls.
