VITAMIN E:
Potential of herbs in skin protection from ultraviolet radiation
ABSTRACT:
Herbs have been used in medicines and cosmetics from centuries. Their potential to treat different skin diseases, to adorn and improve the skin appearance is well-known. As ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause sunburns, wrinkles, lower immunity against infections, premature aging, and cancer, there is permanent need for protection from UV radiation and prevention from their side effects. Herbs and herbal preparations have a high potential due to their antioxidant activity, primarily. Antioxidants such as vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin E), flavonoids, and phenolic acids play the main role in fighting against free radical species that are the main cause of numerous negative skin changes. Although isolated plant compounds have a high potential in protection of the skin, whole herbs extracts showed better potential due to their complex composition. Many studies showed that green and black tea (polyphenols) ameliorate adverse skin reactions following UV exposure. The gel from aloe is believed to stimulate skin and assist in new cell growth. Spectrophotometer testing indicates that as a concentrated extract of Krameria triandra it absorbs 25 to 30% of the amount of UV radiation typically absorbed by octyl methoxycinnamate. Sesame oil resists 30% of UV rays, while coconut, peanut, olive, and cottonseed oils block out about 20%. A “sclerojuglonic” compound which is forming from naphthoquinone and keratin is the reaction product that provides UV protection. Traditional use of plant in medication or beautification is the basis for researches and making new trends in cosmetics. This review covers all essential aspects of potential of herbs as radioprotective agents and its future prospects.
VITAMIN E:
The antioxidant vitamin E (α-tocopherol) may protect both animal and plant cell membranes from light-induced damage.[72] Topical application of these antioxidants to the skin has been shown to reduce acute and chronic photodamage. Topically applied, only the natural forms of vitamin E—alpha-tocopherol and tocotrienol—effectively reduce skin roughness, the length of facial lines, and the depth of wrinkles.[73] Topically applied vitamin E increases hydratation of the stratum corneum and increases its water-binding capacity. Alpha-tocopherol reduces the harmful collagen-destroying enzyme collagenase, which unfortunately increases in aging skin.[74] Vitamin E is a free radical scavenger and an emollient too.

VITAMIN C:
Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is the body's most important intracellular and extracellular aqueous-phase antioxidant. Vitamin C provides many benefits to the skin—most significantly, increased synthesis of collagen and photoprotection. Photoprotection is enhanced by the anti-inflammatory properties of vitamin C. Photoprotection over many months allows the skin to correct previous photodamage, the synthesis of collagen and inhibition of MMP-1 was proven to decrease wrinkles, and the inhibition of tyrosinase and anti-inflammatory activity result in depigmenting solar lentigines.[75]
Vitamin C is found in active form and substantial quantities in Rosehip seed extract or oil.

AVOCADO OIL:
High-quality, natural suntan and after-sun products are found in abundance at natural food stores. Avocado (Persea americana) oil is rich in vitamin E, β–carotene,[27] vitamin D, protein, lecithin, and fatty acids[85] and offers considerable benefits when added to preparations. From avocado oil to botanicals such as rosemary and comfrey, these ingredients soothe and protect the skin[27] [Table 2].

EVENING PRIMROSE OIL:
Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) oil has a high GLA content that promotes healthy skin and skin repair. It is usually yellow in color. It soothes skin problems and inflammation, making it a good choice for people with eczema, psoriasis, or any type of dermatitis. Evening primrose skin oil discourages dry skin and premature aging of the skin[84] [Table 2].

SQUALENE:
The skin's natural sun blockers are proteins (the peptide bonds), absorbing lipids, and nucleotides. The high concentration of plant peptides protects the peptide bonds of the skin proteins. The high level of squalene (from olive oil) in some products protects the skin's sensitive lipids. Squalene is the skin's most important protective lipid.

JASMINE OIL:
DPPH free‐radical scavenging ability, total phenolic content, and chemical composition analysis of forty‐five kinds of essential oils
ABSTRACT:
Forty‐five kinds of commonly used essential oils were employed to investigate the DPPH (1,1‐diphenyl2‐picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging ability and total phenolic content of major chemical compositions. The free‐radical scavenging ability and total phenolic content of cinnamon leaf and clove bud essential oils are the best among these essential oils. One‐half milliliter of cinnamon leaf and clove bud essential oils (10 mg mL EtOH) are shown to be 96.74% and 96.12% of the DPPH (2.5ml, 1.52 × 10‐4 M) free‐radical scavenging ability, respectively. Their EC50 (effective concentrations) are 53 and 36 (μg mL‐1). One milligram per milliliter of cinnamon leaf, clove bud, and thyme red essential oils were shown to be 420, 480, and 270 (mg g‐1 of GAE) of total phenolic content, respectively. Eugenol in cinnamon leaf and clove bud essential oils (82.87% and 82.32%, respectively) were analyzed by GC‐MS. It is clear that the amounts of the phenol compounds in essential oils and the DPPH free‐radical scavenging ability are in direct proportion.

GERANIUM OIL:
Rose geranium essential oil as a source of new and safe anti-inflammatory drugs
ABSTRACT:
Background: Since the available anti-inflammatory drugs exert an extensive variety of side effects, the search for new anti-inflammatory agents has been a priority of pharmaceutical industries.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to assess the anti-inflammatory activities of the essential oil of rose geranium (RGEO).
Methods: The chemical composition of the RGEO was investigated by gas chromatography. The major components were citronellol (29.13%), geraniol (12.62%), and citronellyl formate (8.06%). In the carrageenan-induced paw edema, five different groups were established and RGEO was administered orally in three different doses.
Results: RGEO (100 mg/kg) was able to significantly reduce the paw edema with a comparable effect to that observed with diclofenac, the positive control. In addition, RGEO showed a potent anti-inflammatory activity by topical treatment in the method of croton oil-induced ear edema. When the dose was 5 or 10 µl of RGEO per ear, the inflammation was reduced by 73 and 88%, respectively. This is the first report to demonstrate a significant anti-inflammatory activity of Algerian RGEO. In addition, histological analysis confirmed that RGEO inhibited the inflammatory responses in the skin.
