Independent study

Independent study

In this independent study, researchers tested an 8% Ashwagandha root extract lotion on 56 healthy adults over a period of 60 days to see how it affects ageing skin.

In this carefully controlled study, it was found that those who used the lotion saw noticeable improvements in wrinkles, pores, skin hydration, brightness, pigmentation, and elasticity.

Even moisture loss and melanin levels improved.

Best of all, no serious side effects were reported—suggesting the lotion is not only effective but also safe to use.

This is my first time at in-cosmetics Global and I love it! I’m here to pick up some new suppliers as well as meet existing ones, and it’s great to meet people face-to-face which we haven’t been able to do over the past few years. Trends in the industry will continue to be sustainability, and also free silicone replacement is really big. Natural and vegan trends are also important. In the make-up industry, there are two trends and it's either one or the other, no in-between: minimalism or extravagant. Everyone is here at the show, it’s amazing! I’m able to catch up with suppliers from Africa, China, America and countries from all over the globe. It’s amazing.
