AB  - Berries are known to be one of the richest sources of polyphenols which can offer
various health benefits. Dietary supplementation with berries has a positive influence on the
gut microbiota, which directly affects overall health, including skin health. However, topical
application of berry polyphenols has been used mainly for its antioxidant activity to prevent
premature aging and improve the skin's appearance. Therefore, this study examined the
content of different polyphenol classes of cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpa), chokeberry
(Aronia melanocarpa) and blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) extracts, investigating their
antioxidant properties and potential impact on skin as topical prebiotics. The prebiotic
capacity of these extracts in applied concentrations range of 0.015-0.05 mg GAE/mL, was
determined against two cutaneous bacteria - beneficial Staphylococcus epidermidis and
opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, since the disrupted balance between them
may contribute worsening of atopic dermatitis. The obtained results showed that the total
polyphenol content was highest in chokeberry extract (9.88 mg GAE/g DM), followed by
cranberry extract (8.78 mg GAE/g DM), and the lowest in blueberry extract (6.48 mg GAE/g
DM). Chokeberry extract was also richest in flavonoids, flavonols, anthocyanins and phenolic
acids. Notably, cranberry extract had the highest concentration of tannins, almost three times
higher compared to blueberry extract. According to DPPH and ABTS methods, the
antioxidant activity was significantly high in chokeberry extract, while FRAP method
revealed that cranberry extract is the most potent antioxidant. Regarding prebiotic capacity,
positive values (0.10-0.48) were observed at all concentrations of cranberry extract, with a
trend indicating a decrease in prebiotic capacity as polyphenol concentration increases.
Prebiotic capacities of blueberry and chokeberry extracts had either negative values or values
equal to zero, indicating that these extracts do not positively impact the microorganisms’
ratio. Obtained findings suggest cranberry extract potential for enhancing both antioxidant
defense of skin and rebalancing cutaneous microbiota.

AB  - Blackcurrant is anthocyanin-rich berry with proven antioxidant and photoprotective
activity and emerging prebiotic potential, widely applied in cosmetic products. Although
beneficial effects of its extract are well known, release from skin care products and
(trans)dermal permeation were not previously investigated.
In this study, enzyme-assisted extraction of polyphenols from lyophilized
blackcurrant was performed and obtained extract was incorporated into an Aristoflex® AVC
based hydrogel. Furthermore, Franz diffusion cell experiments were conducted in order to
examine the release of these molecules from the prepared formulation using cellulose acetate
membrane and transdermal and dermal delivery using human skin mimicking membrane
(Strat® M).
Obtained results revealed that all four dominant anthocyanins readily permeated from
hydrogel since 17.5%, 32.8%, 33.8% and 39.2% of delphinidin 3-glucoside, delphinidin 3-
rutinoside, cyanidin 3-glucoside and cyanidin 3-rutinoside, respectively, were detected in
receptor fluid after 24 h. Experimental values were successfully fitted with the Peppas and
Sahlin diffusion model. On the other hand, after 72 h long experiment with transdermal skin
diffusion model (Strat® M membrane), no detectable amounts of anthocyanins were present
in receptor fluid and only 0.5% of the initial quantity from donor compartment was extracted
from the membrane itself, indicating weak dermal delivery.
Present study revealed that hydrogel is suitable carrier system for the topical delivery
of bioactive anthocyanins from blackcurrant, while dermal and transdermal delivery of these
molecules is very limited. This implies applicability of blackcurrant extract for treatments
targeting skin surface (i.e. antioxidant, prebiotic, photoprotective).
