July 2010
In recent years, the personal care industry has struggled with balancing the need for natural ingredients with the danger of potentially destroying priceless natural resources. HBA and Lipo Chemicals, Inc. have invited Dr Birute Mary Galdikas, world-renowned protégé of the anthropologist Dr Louis Leakey, to discuss the sourcing of green resources in the industry today and the importance of protecting their renewability without damaging the environment.

Dr Galdikas will discuss the dangers of a non-sustainable approach, drawing on her work among the orangutans of Borneo in the forests where palm oil is found, in an inspiring call to action to the personal care industry to heighten awareness and strengthen the industry's resolve to solve the problems of sustainability and renewable resources.

View the webinar live for the unique opportunity to ask Dr Galdikas questions directly. If you can't make the live presentation, or want to view again at a later date, be sure to register to receive access to the On Demand version.

PRODUCT ARTICLE

A true petrolatum alternative
Until antibiotics conquered the world, the only possible method for curing gangrene was maggot therapy, except for amputation of the extremities. Maggots were applied to the wound and would eat the necrotic tissue, including the organisms that were responsible for that.

TECHNICAL ARTICLE

Skin defences boosted by grapefruit extract
Humans are constantly exposed to harmful foreign chemicals and materials from exogenous and endogenous sources. As a result, defence mechanisms have evolved to protect against toxin overload.1 Cells are under constant threat from metabolic waste products and xenobiotics. The formation of phase I and phase II metabolism mobilises and excretes these mainly lipophilic toxins.
