Summary

This small early-phase study at Johns Hopkins University is testing whether a cream made from sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli, can improve skin aging and protect against damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. Twelve adults with healthy or moderately aged skin will have small skin samples taken before and after treatment to measure changes in certain proteins linked to skin strength and aging. The goal is to understand if this natural compound can make skin more resilient to light exposure.
