Soapnut Extract: a natural surfactant
Vivimed’s Nisarg Soapnut Extract is the natural extract from the fruit of Sapindus mukorossi, the Indian soapnut tree, rich in natural saponins, forming a generous, stable foam that has been used for centuries for its natural cleansing ability.
Cell-to-cell communication for skin matrix repair
One of the results of ageing is that the communication process between skin cells, which is mediated by growth factors, is reduced. As a consequence, the activity of fibroblasts decreases. Unfortunately, this strongly affects the extracellular matrix (ECM), the structural network of the skin. The result of this is a reduction in the skin’s firmness, elasticity and density.
Keramimic 2.0 from Croda - Intelligent Repair of Damaged Hair
Croda’s Keramimic 2.0 is a new keratin quat that takes biomimetics to the next generation. Developed using the most recent advances in proteomics, the amino acid sequences of the peptides found in Keramimic 2.0 match those present in the keratin proteins found in cuticular and cortical regions of human hair. Combining the best of science and nature, Keramimic 2.0 is a highly substantive conditioning active that provides targeted repair to the most damaged areas of the hair’s surface.
Hands-on beauty trends training
This year at in-cosmetics the IMCD Personal Care team showcased a range of innovative new formulations inspired by the new cosmetic trends:
Water-based nail polish innovation
Syntran PC5620 is an aqueous acrylic polymer dispersion specifically designed for the formulation of water-based nail polishes. When properly formulated this polymer exhibits very interesting properties such as quick dry time, high gloss, excellent adhesion, durability and wear properties.
A modern, multifunctional anti-dandruff agent
The demand for natural ingredients remains on the increase. Being a challenge for raw material suppliers it is a consequence of the market trends in major cosmetic markets worldwide.
Bio-based propanediol boosts preservative efficacy
Zemea1 bio-derived propanediol, manufactured by DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products, can be used to replace petroleum based glycols such as propylene glycol (PG), butylene glycol (BG) or glycerin in cosmetic and personal care formulations.
A natural active from the sea
Highly Polymerised DeoxyRibonucleotide (HPDR) or DNA is a molecule well known to biologists since the fundamental works of Watson and Crick and continues to attract a lot of attention.
Instant anti-wrinkle effect of a marine exopolysaccharide
Skin ageing is a complex phenomenon involving two simultaneously occurring processes: intrinsic ageing, known as chronological ageing, which is genetically determined, and extrinsic ageing which is due to environmental factors such as chronic sun exposure, known as photoageing.
Fullerene: topical application for acne treatment
Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological disease with a multifactorial etiology. There has been an increasing focus on the role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of acne in recent years.
Restructuring extra cellular matrix to reduce wrinkles
With age, negative expressions have a tendency to become set as the skin loses its elasticity, and positive expressions lose their structure as the skin starts to sag. While crow’s feet are considered as being smile wrinkles, forehead lines on the other hand harden the gaze.
Evaluating hydrophobins for emulsion stabilisation
In the last few years an increased consumer demand for natural ingredients in cosmetic products has been continuously developed. Consequently the cosmetic industry launched a lot of products containing substances with a biological background, like palm oil or hyaluronic acid, on the market.
Advantages of jojoba esters in nonwovens
Small, vehicle controlled, clinical studies were carried out to explore the benefits associated with incorporating Floraesters K-100 Jojoba [INCI: Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters (and) Jojoba Esters (and) Water (aqua)] and Floraesters K-20W Jojoba [INCI: Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters (and) Water (aqua)] into various nonwoven wipe solutions.
Analysing a new generation of liposomes
When liposomes about 25 years ago first came on the market, they were initially an innovative ‘magic ball’ and a new argument for marketing. Later it was shown that they also worked cosmetically as an effective moisturising factor (Capture by Christian Dior).
Effects of pomegranate flower complex on the skin
The balance between collagen breakdown and collagen synthesis plays a crucial role in the extrinsic and intrinsic process of skin ageing. Environmental factors acting on the skin and genetically-determined processes cause an increase in collagen breakdown and at the same time a reduction in the synthesis of new collagen, which results in the increased appearance of wrinkles.
Taking days out of the production cycle
Amway is a 52-year-old company, headquartered in Ada, Michigan, with more than 14,000 global employees in more than 80 countries and territories, and 3 million distributors worldwide.
Meeting UVA requirements in multifunctional products
While UV protection is obviously the most important feature of sunscreens, increasing numbers of hybrid products are now presenting sun protection alongside skin care and even colour cosmetic claims. This is due in part to growing consumer awareness that sun exposure is not limited to beach holidays; it is the episodic, everyday exposures to the sun over years which put both the skin’s health and its appearance at risk.
Basildon Chemicals exhibited at SCS Formulate 2011
In April 2011, Basildon Chemicals was purchased by the KCC Corporation of Korea. This creates a partnership which opens up new opportunities for both companies.
A highly moisturising active from tamarind seed
Xilogel is a Tamarindus indica polysaccharide endowed with remarkable filming and hydrating properties. It has been extremely well characterised as a branched high molecular weight (ca 650,000 Da) xyloglucan, capable of forming viscous gels with an excellent sensory feeling.
Rice meristem cultures rejuvenate skin
Growing red rice meristem cultures in bioreactors is a sustainable process that reduces residual biomass waste, but the benefits of this technology are not limited to environmental impact.
