Mary Kay Inc. announced the results of two breakthrough research studies— an antioxidant treatment that can diminish the visible effects of pollution and aging on human skin, and a focus on the applications of computational tools to accurately predict the safety and potential reactions of human skin to various cosmetic ingredients.
These findings were shared by Mary Kay scientists at the 2024 Society of Investigative Dermatology (SID) meeting in Dallas, TX.
Since 2016, Mary Kay has researched the effects of air pollution on the skin. Tests conducted revealed that an antioxidant blend of resveratrol, niacinamide, and oligopeptide-1 protects natural skin surface lipids from oxidative damage caused by particulate matter (PM) and UV radiation, both alone and combined.
This blend has also been found to prevent free radical formation induced by blue light, demonstrating its potential to mitigate the detrimental effects of multiple environmental stressors on the skin.
Dr. Rebecca Minnillo, Chief Program, Communications and Development Officer at SID, commented,
“Mary Kay's enduring commitment to research and development aligns perfectly with our goals at the Society for Investigative Dermatology. Our sustained partnership enables us to explore new frontiers in dermatological science, bringing us closer to breakthroughs that can transform skincare and treatment options.”
Mary Kay has also worked to leverage computational toxicology tools to enhance the ingredient safety assessment of cosmetic and personal care ingredients. This approach involves the use of advanced computational methods to predict the safety and potential toxicity of ingredients at an early stage, which will reduce the need for extensive laboratory testing.
