Oil Control Moisturizer from Sabinsa

A study on an oil control moisturizer developed by Sabinsa Corp. and Sami Labs was recently published in the European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences. The study, “An open label clinical study to evaluate the dermal safety ad post-application effect of an oil control moisturizer,” appeared in Volume 3, Issue 10, p. 462-466.
 
The efficacy and safety of an oil control moisturizer containing Policosanol, aloe vera extract and niacinamide as its active ingredients was evaluated. At the end of the two-week study period, volunteers using the oil control moisturizer cream showed beneficial effects in the form of reduction in shine on skin, improved skin softness, smoothness and moisturizing effect. Application of this oil control moisturizer is beneficial for oily skin to control excess oiliness of the skin with no reported adverse effects, according to researchers.
 
Following usage of this oil control moisturizerfor two weeks, sebum secretion levels on the forehead skin significantly decreased. There were no complaints of dryness or irritation of the skin during the study, which is notable since consumers often observe those effects with many oil-control skin care products.
 
“This study establishes the use of our patented Policosanol ingredient and gives formulators a way forward for an effective natural solution when it comes to sebum control, anti-acne and oil control formulations,” said Shaheen Majeed, marketing director, Sabinsa.
