Age-tailored artificial skin model for cosmetic film development.

ABSTRACT: Thin film deposition is essential in the cosmetic industry, where formulations such as foundations and concealers rely on uniform layer formation to conceal pores and texture irregularities for a natural and even appearance. However, variations in skin topography, influenced by factors such as aging, genetics, and environmental exposure, can significantly affect the behavior of these films. Aging, in particular, leads to increased skin roughness and wrinkles, creating challenges to achieve consistent cosmetic deposition in diverse age groups. This study investigates the impact of age-related topographical changes on cosmetic thin film deposition and introduces a model for standardized, age-specific evaluation of cosmetic performance. Using X-ray microtomography, we compare skin topography
