๐ฌ Key Findings
- Topical application of sulforaphane reduced UV-induced skin damage such as redness and inflammation.
- The protective effect was confirmed in both human and mouse models.
- Mechanistically, sulforaphane activates phase II antioxidant and detoxification enzymes in skin cells, enhancing their natural defense capacity.
๐ Conclusion
Sulforaphane has been shown to enhance skinโs resistance to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, demonstrating positive effects in UV protection and prevention of photo-induced skin damage.
