Efficacy and Safety of a Topical Botanical Extract Formulation for Skin Barrier Repair
A Single-Center, Double-Blinded, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Prospective Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of a Botanical Extract in Skincare Formulations for Skin Barrier Repair on Healthy Volunteers
This is a single-center, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, prospective clinical study designed to evaluate the skin barrier repair efficacy and local tolerance of topical cosmetic formulations containing a botanical extract. Skin barrier challenge is induced via standardized tape stripping on the volar forearm of healthy subjects. The study will evaluate and compare the repair kinetics of two concentrations of the active formulation, a vehicle, and an untreated control zone over a 14-day application period.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Healthy female subjects will undergo a standardized skin barrier challenge (tape-stripping) on designated zones of their volar forearms at baseline. Formulations containing different concentrations of a botanical extract (Active Formulation A and Active Formulation B), a vehicle control, and an untreated control will be assigned to the randomized zones. Products will be applied topically twice daily for 14 days. Skin barrier repair efficacy will be assessed using clinical gradings and instrumental measurements, including Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and skin hydration. Local tolerance will be evaluated via clinical grading. Non-invasive skin surface biomaterial collection may be performed at designated time points for skin proteomics and lipidomics analysis.
