In this study, researchers from Kyung Hee University in South Korea investigated the protective effects of a compound called myrcene on UVB-irradiated human dermal fibroblasts. The results of their study were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that myrcene has a protective effect against UVB-induced skin photoaging and can potentially be used in the skincare industry.
