In Vitro Evaluation of the Dermatocosmetic Emulsions Based on Lady's Bedstraw (Galium Verum) Alchoolic Extracts

The attention of the research in the medical field is lately directed towards the study of the action of biologically active compounds extracted from various plants from the spontaneous flora. It has been shown that various biologically active compounds from plant sources have high efficacy, multiple mechanism of action, synergistic action, low toxicity to mammals, which has increased the interest in using them as a stabilized and easy to handle form. Particular attention is paid to antioxidants, as their role is known in combating oxidative stress, preventing or stopping the production of free radical species, contributing to their removal and ameliorating the damage caused by oxidative stress in cells and tissues. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness of some emulsions that contain as an active ingredient the extract of Galium verum. This efficiency is appreciated by determining the release speed of the active compounds considered in this case (polyphenols) and by calculating the percentage efficiency using the Franz cell.
