ABSTRACT The skin is the most extensive organ in human body. Photo exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays causes several damages cells, including premature aging, onset of possible DNA mutations, and risk developing cancers, melanoma. Protecting from damaging effects sun through application creams filters important prevent irreversible damages. Several natural extracts biomolecules with antioxidant activity are widely used production dietary supplements or topical products, for prevention treatment affections. Within this context, we pre‐treated fibroblasts (HFF1), skin‐isolated stem cells (SSCs) keratinocytes (HaCaT) two containing a specific solar protection factor (SPF) 72 h then exposed UV light. Gene expression analysis was performed key cell cycle regulators (p16, p19, p21, p53 TERT). Cell senescence assessed by colorimetric assays beta‐galactosidase potential, revealing ability treated counteract free radical as result oxidative stress. Finally, mutations induced photo were studied. results obtained demonstrated that tested products elicit positive on all populations, preserving them senescence, being also able increase repairing mechanisms inducing youngest phenotype.

Wound healing is a process that happens when lost tissue replenishes. For this process, both protective elements and wound accelerating factors are required. In recent years, the search for natural products promote faster prevent adverse effects has gained momentum. This systematic review, adhering to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items Systematic reviews Meta-Analyses) criteria, of products, with focus on from Mediterranean region. study sourced PubMed Scopus databases eligible articles publications over last six years. Due information volume, only in vitro studies were included review. The criteria set concluded 28 included. These showed many found have been studied treatment wounds. effect seems be related dose, type wounded tissue, application time. Moreover, half additionally tested shown antioxidant activity through DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) assays.
