Clinical Study Finds CURCUSHINE™ Microcapsules Effective in Beauty-From-Within Applications
BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lubrizol's CURCUSHINE™ microcapsules microencapsulated curcumin ingredient was found to deliver improved skin radiance, reduced wrinkle depth and other skin benefits in a newly released clinical study. The study, demonstrating strong evidence for the efficacy of CURCUSHINE™ for beauty-from-within nutraceutical applications, was published in the Agro FOOD Industry hi-tech journal. Lubrizol will present the results of the study at our booth, #4F10, at Vitafoods Europe 2025, held in Barcelona from May 20-22. The CURCUSHINE™ clinical study tested 63 women between the ages of 21 to 50 who said they had facial skin imperfections. Participants consumed CURCUSHINE™ microcapsules or a placebo daily for 42 days. Participants who took CURCUSHINE™ microcapsules were reported to have improved skin radiance, reduced wrinkle depth, and enhanced overall skin appearance in just six weeks, including: An increase in skin luminosity by up to 19%, and skin homogeneity by up to 69% An improvement in the L* parameter (degree of brightness) for facial skin A reduction in dark spots of up to 8% A reduction of the wrinkle volume in the outer corners of the eyes, known as the crow's feet region, by 10.32% on average A reduction in wrinkle volume in the forehead area by an average of 5.14% The findings build on a previous in vitro study that highlighted the ability of CURCUSHINE™ microcapsules to shield collagen and elastin from oxidative and inflammatory damage.
