The compound is a patented blend of thymol, a monoterpene from thyme, and Curcuma turmerones, aromatic compounds from turmeric. According to the study’s researchers, it provided rapid and long-lasting bactericidal action against Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) — a key driver of acne — and significantly reduces inflammation in lab models.

Traditionally made from rice flour and water, vermicelli’s current formulation is mostly carbohydrates and lacks the additional essential nutrients, minerals, protein and fibre increasingly valued by consumers. Given today’s consumer preference for foods rich in bioactive compounds like antioxidants, vitamins, and dietary fibre, manufacturers are exploring ways to incorporate functional ingredients into everyday staples like vermicelli.

AGA is the most prevalent form of hair loss in men, characterized by the progressive miniaturisation or shrinking of hair follicles. This condition is primarily driven by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of testosterone that interferes with the natural hair growth cycle. Elevated levels of PGD2, a lipid mediator, further suppress hair follicle growth by promoting the transition of follicles into the catagen (regression) phase.

Sensitive skin is a global concern, affecting nearly half the world’s population. Characterised by heightened reactions to environmental, chemical and even emotional triggers, sensitive skin typically manifests through redness, itching, and discomfort. These symptoms often point to underlying issues, including weakened skin barriers, overactive nerve responses, and chronic inflammation.

Known for its antioxidant, anti-ageing, and skin-brightening properties, pterostilbene has traditionally struggled to meet its potential due to its poor water solubility and limited skin penetration. However, researchers from China have now developed PT-NLPs using a high-shear microjet homogenisation technique, opening the door to its application in advanced cosmetic formulations. Pterostilbene is a lipid-soluble polyphenol derived from blueberries and grapes.

A study led by researchers at Pakistan’s National Agricultural Research Centre reported that partially replacing inorganic fertilisers with organic inputs like poultry compost can significantly enhance nitrogen use efficiency and grain yield in rice-based systems, while also reducing nitrogen losses. In mid-latitude rice systems, mineral nitrogen fertiliser — primarily urea — remains the largest nitrogen input due to limited availability of organic sources.
