Abstract:

The objective of this research was to assess the potential of phosphatidylcholine-encapsulated resveratrol as a cosmetic ingredient. The hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and ultraviolet A (UVA) induced human skin fibroblasts (HSF) models of skin damage were established to compare the antioxidant and anti-wrinkle properties between phosphatidylcholine-encapsulated resveratrol and unencapsulated resveratrol. The findings reveal that encapsulating resveratrol with phosphatidylcholine not only enhances skin absorption but also significantly improves its antioxidant capabilities. In the H2O2-induced HSF injury model, phosphatidylcholine-encapsulated resveratrol demonstrates a superior ability to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by H2O2 compared to the resveratrol group. Further analysis indicates that this enhanced functionality is associated with increased enzymatic activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT) when treated with phosphatidylcholine-encapsulated resveratrol. Additionally, in UVA-irradiated HSF cells, phosphatidylcholine-encapsulated resveratrol effectively reduces the levels of matrix metalloproteinases-1 and-3 (MMP-1 and MMP-3) and increased the contents of Collagen Ⅰ and Collagen Ⅲ (Col-1 and Col-3), demonstrating significant anti-wrinkle effects. These findings provide critical evaluation criteria and application references for enhancing cosmetic ingredients through phosphatidylcholine encapsulation, thereby advancing skincare formulations.

Key words: phosphatidylcholine-encapsulated resveratrol, resveratrol, human skin fibroblasts, antioxidant, anti-wrinkle
