KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 -- Mary Kay Inc continued its ongoing support of the beauty and scientific communities recently by sponsoring the virtual 2021 Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) Annual Meeting, helping fund the society’s virtual meeting platform.
Based on a statement, the brand was also excited to announce its first-ever grants for researchers conducting groundbreaking, innovative studies in skin health and skin disease.
Mary Kay will be awarding four US$25,000 grants which eligible applicants can apply for through August 31. (US$1 = RM4.11)
With winners to be announced at the SID next year, Mary Kay hopes to empower researchers to uncover new perspectives and intervention strategies in the science of dermatology.
Mary Kay, at the meeting, has unveiled breakthrough skin health research on a botanical extract reducing retinol-related irritation via the TRPV1 receptor.
Mary Kay’s own latest research explores the combination of retinol with a plant derived TRPV1 antagonist and anti-inflammatory botanical extract in mitigating retinoid-induced irritation.
Using a cosmetic formulation, Mary Kay researchers were able to demonstrate gradual retinisation over a period of eight weeks.
Subjects who applied the formulation not only demonstrated high tolerability to the formulation, but also reduction in dermatologist-assessed erythema, edema, and dryness after use.
