Recently, both clinical and bench research has begun to provide scientific validation for the use of certain botanical ingredients. Related findings regarding proposed biological mechanisms of action have translated into clinical practice. Botanical compounds for which dermatologic and cosmetic applications have emerged include: olive oil, chamomile, colloidal oatmeal, oat kernal extract, feverfew, acai berry, coffee berry, curcumin, green tea, pomegranate, licorice, paper mulberry, arbutin, and soy. Many of these botanical sources offer biologically active components that require further in vitro and in vivo investigation in order for us to properly educate ourselves, and our patients, regarding over-the-counter products based on these ingredients.
最近，临床研究和基础研究都已开始为某些植物成分的使用提供科学验证。有关所提出的作用生物学机制的相关研究结果已转化为临床实践。已出现皮肤科和化妆品应用的植物化合物包括：橄榄油、洋甘菊、胶态燕麦片、燕麦仁提取物、小白菊、阿萨伊浆果、咖啡果、姜黄素、绿茶、石榴、甘草、构树、熊果苷和大豆。这些植物来源中的许多都提供了生物活性成分，为了让我们自己以及我们的患者能够充分了解基于这些成分的非处方产品，还需要进一步进行体外和体内研究。
