First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether a cream made from sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli, can improve skin aging and protect against damage from sunlight and visible light. Researchers will measure changes in skin proteins linked to strength and aging in 12 adults. The goal is to understand how sulforaphane affects skin at a molecular level, not to prove it reverses aging.
