Clinical studies presented at the 2024
American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting demonstrate how
nature-based products support the microbiome in compromised skin,
while improving barrier function and hydration
DURHAM,
N.C., March 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Burt's
Bees, the #1 dermatologist recommended natural skin care brand* and
a pioneer in naturally-derived lip and skin care solutions,
announced its latest research findings on the benefits of
nature-based products to maintain and protect skin health and
hydration. The studies will be presented at the American Academy of
Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting from March
8-12, 2024.
The latest research findings from Burt's Bees highlight:
- The efficacy of an aloe-containing moisturizer in improving
skin barrier function and hydration in sensitive skin
populations
- The impact of a moisturizer containing aloe and rice milk in
supporting the skin microbiome for those with atopic dermatitis and
rosacea
- The tolerability of a topical formulation in populations with
mild to moderate acne
"Whether our aim is to improve barrier function, boost hydration
or support the microbiome, we focus on bringing the best solutions
nature has to offer to consumers as we have done for more than 40
years," said Hemali Gunt, Ph.D., head of clinical and scientific
affairs at Burt's Bees. "Burt's Bees has a deep understanding of
both facial and lip skin, which is at the foundation of our
research and development efforts as we continue to pioneer the use
of new ingredients and innovations in the natural skin care
space."
New Burt's Bees data that will be presented at AAD 2024
includes:
- The effectiveness of aloe vera and rice
extract-containing moisturizing cream in improving and maintaining
barrier function and hydration in xerotic skin; Gunt H., Levy
S.; Online Poster
- About the Research: A nature-based moisturizing
cream containing aloe and rice extract was studied in 32 female
participants with moderately dry skin
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of the moisturizing cream
in improving skin hydration and barrier function/transepidermal
water loss
- When compared to baseline, results demonstrated a significant
improvement in moisturization and skin barrier function in
individuals with dry and sensitive skin
- A multi-functional moisturizer containing aloe vera and
rice extract maintains a diverse and balanced facial skin
microbiome in sensitive skin; Gunt H., Ahmad N. and Sivamani
R.; Online Poster
- About the Research: A baseline-controlled study
evaluating the effectiveness of a moisturizing cream containing
aloe vera and rice extract was conducted in 42 female participants
over six weeks
- Participants had either atopic dermatitis or rosacea with
visible redness
- Results showed that the nature-based moisturizer significantly
increased skin hydration while supporting the skin microbiome
without disrupting the skin barrier
- Daily use of prebiotic-containing topical formulation
balances and restores skin microbiome in subjects with mild to
moderate acne; Gunt H., Levy S., and Sivamani R.;
March 8, 2024, poster presentation
from 2:20-2:25 p.m. PST in the Sails Pavilion, Poster Center 1
- About the Research: A six-week baseline-controlled
study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of a topical
formulation containing prebiotics in participants with mild to
moderate acne
- Investigator and participant-assessed tolerability demonstrated
that the product was well tolerated while changes in the appearance
of acne and skin microbiome were consistent with improvement
in overall skin condition of those with mild to moderate acne
"The skin microbiome is fundamental to supporting a healthy skin
barrier. Barrier dysfunction in individuals with acne-prone skin
results in alterations and imbalances in the microbiome, leading to
inflammation and breakouts," said Stanley Levy, M.D., a board-certified
dermatologist in Chapel Hill, North
Carolina and study consultant. "This research demonstrates
that a topical nature-based gel cream containing inulin, an
effective prebiotic, can assist in supporting a balanced microbiome
in patients with mild to moderate acne and replenish moisture
content without provoking breakouts."
Burt's Bees will also highlight naturally-derived products
containing aloe, shea and coconut on-site at AAD, booth location
