  Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022

• Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days.

  BMC Oral Health, 2019

• A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.

  Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

• The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.

  Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020

• Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.

  International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001

• A Hamamelis virginiana leaf extract increased LOXL1 expression twofold, decreased elafin synthesis, restored functional elastic fibers, reduced nonfunctional elastin aggregates, decreased wrinkles, and improved skin firmness.

  Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2018

  Phytochemistry, 2001

• Witch hazel bark extract and hamamelitannin showed pronounced anti-inflammatory activity, supported keratinocyte migration in a wound healing assay, and inhibited Staphylococcus aureus growth, whereas their skin microbiota metabolite ellagic acid stimulated inflammatory mediator release.

  Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2025

• Sapindus mukorossi seed oil promoted wound healing, cell proliferation, migration, and exhibited anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities in cells and in rats compared to untreated controls.

  International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019

• Sapindus mukorossi flower water extract exhibited antioxidant, antibacterial against Cutibacterium acnes, and anti-inflammatory activities by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines in in vitro experiments.

  Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2025

• Caprine dermal scaffolds prepared using 5% Sapindus mukorossi fruit pericarp extract effectively achieved complete decellularization while preserving extracellular matrix architecture and promoted full-thickness skin wound healing in rabbits comparable to autografts.
