Oat Cosmetics applies for unique manufacturing process patent
Innovative Oat Cosmetics has applied for a patent to protect their unique manufacturing process of colloidal oatmeal, which turns wholegrain oat flour into an ingredient ideal for cosmetics use.
The ingredient is ideal for formulators of cosmetics as it is highly soluble, which therefore reduces manufacturing time. It also absorbs oil at higher levels compared to other flours, enhancing its emulsifying effect. It is certified natural, contains an extremely low microbial count reducing the need for preservatives, is low cost and has enhanced anti-irritant properties.
Oat Cosmetics Managing Director Cark Maunsell commented: “It is an important step for Oat Cosmetics that we are applying for this patent. We have always been committed to providing the cosmetics industry with a unique product and service and have been committed to supporting scientists and product development teams. This patent will further enhance our reputation as a global supplier with a unique offering.”
Oat Cosmetics is an ethical company supplying the market with 100% specialised natural oat and other plant derived, traceable cosmetic ingredients. For more information please visit www.oat.co.uk or call Business Development Officer Angus Robertson 07713 077646.

Azelis United: Leading pan-European speciality chemicals distributor, Azelis, has launched a corporate re-branding programme which will unite its 36 companies under one brand from the 1st January 2011.
Capitalizing on more than 10 years of acquisitions, Azelis announced today the re-branding
of all its companies into ‘one Azelis’.
The re-branding is the culmination of the Group's considerable investments over the last
few years, in people, training, systems and focus on excellence – all initiatives designed to
improve our service to customers and principals, globally and locally.
Azelis Group Director Corporate Brand & Communications, Inge Declercq explained: “Extensive research and market analysis led us to the view that Azelis united under one
name, with a consistent visual identity and clearly articulated brand promise, would better
represent our unique strengths and business focus.”
“Changes in the corporate structure and business systems of the organisation implemented
over the past couple of years have delivered significant efficiencies and value added
services, without compromising the high standards of local knowledge and service that is so
highly valued by our customers. We therefore think the time is now right to leverage the
strength of the whole group under one unified brand to spearhead the future growth and
success of Azelis.
“The exercise also affords us the opportunity to communicate widely all that the Azelis
brand stands for and the reasons why our people, with their specialist industry sector
knowledge, innovative products and a refreshing ‘can-do’ attitude, are the right people to do
business with.”
As with many major rebranding exercises the changes to the well known Azelis logo are
subtle but the colour palette used to distinguish the company’s International Business Areas
has a new vibrancy reflecting the new tag line “Refreshing chemical distribution”. These
visual changes will become apparent early in the New Year with the launch of a new
website, brochures, signage and stationery.
The launch of the new corporate brand identity follows detailed consultation with
employees, principals and customers. The consensus view from all parties was that the rebranding
decision was the logical and natural evolution for Azelis at this point.
Joris Coppye, CEO Azelis added: "Becoming one company with a single identity and shared
brand promise is deemed an essential element for the future growth and success of Azelis”.
Today, Azelis offers complete pan-European coverage, with additional operations in, Mumbai
and Shanghai. With sourcing and distribution channels in every major market around the world, Azelis offers access to the specialised market segments of animal nutrition;
chemicals; coatings; composites; food & health; materials, pigments and additives (MPA);

Wonderlight™. Based on an innovative mechanism of action, Wonderlight reduces irregularities in pigmentation and brightens skin complexion.
Management of the epidermal melanin unit cross-talking
Pigmentation disorders are a big concern widely shared by most of the populations (Asian, African, Latin-American people). Amongst benign pigmentation disorders, some are stimulated by ageing (freckles, lentigines and melasma) and stress (inflammatory hyperpigmentation).
Sederma is proud to offer a new solution to people wishing to reduce irregularities in pigmentation or to brighten their skin complexion. Based on a botanical, Wonderlight™ acts on both melanocytes and their associated keratinocytes to help lessen pigmentation disorders. It reduces the Epidermal Melanin Unit cross-talking and blocks the signaling pathways involved in the melanin synthesis. Wonderlight™ exhibits a stronger effect on hyper pigmented areas and equalises skin pigmentation in order to make them less visible.
The ability of Wonderlight™ to inhibit the UV inducted secretion of GM-CSF (important melanocyte stimulator) was demonstrated in vitro. The concept was validated on living human skin cultures (phototype III) in which the UVAB induced 2-fold increase in the number of melanocytes was totally inhibited in the presence of Wonderlight™.
Two clinical trials conducted on Asian volunteers with classical pigment disorders (lentigines, ephelides, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) confirmed the melanogenesis reducing activity of Wonderlight™ on these lesions.
Wonderlight™ is preservative free and is approved for Japan.
Sederma makes cosmetic ingredient development beautifully sustainable.
Sederma is not only about developing natural molecules of interest for the cosmetic industry, its new challenge is to produce them in quantities without causing any damage to the environment. And what a challenge!
Sederma has chosen Plant Cell Culture which exploits the power of synthesis from vegetal stem cells. This technology is an inexhaustible source of metabolites of interest with numerous benefits for:
Sustainability: natural environment preservation, no need for transportation, limited use of solvent, no biosphere destruction.
Safety and quality: No GMOs, no fertilizers, no pesticides, no preservatives, high quantity of selected phytochemicals.
Sourcing: No crops, no seasonality, no suppliers and unlimited availability.
In 2011, one of Sederma’s new products will be fully produced using this new technology and it won’t stop here. The plant cell culture technology brings complete new aspects in the development of cosmetic active ingredients based on beneficial selected phytomolecules. That is the reason why Sederma has acquired a bench wave system bioreactor of 600L, which is the first to be commercialised in Europe.
In parallel, Sederma is developing a valuable know-how to offer advanced services and solutions to its customers thanks to a specialized scientific knowledge and industrial production expertise: optimisation of culture conditions, selection and production of metabolites, analytical methods, generation of a callus bank and cryopreservation of cell lines.

RAHN introduces its new active ingredient “SLIMEXIR® - The
Silhouette-Refiner”, which effectively combats excessive fat.
SLIMEXIR® effectively refines the silhouette, whilst fighting excessive fat. Its welldesigned
composition consists of X-Melt®, a synergistic blend of Methyl Xanthines,
extract of Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) and the polysaccharide evan. X-Melt®
prevents the uptake of fat into the Adipocytes (fat storing cells) by reducing their rate of
maturation. In addition, each of SLIMEXIR®‘s components activate Lipolysis, which
triggers the fragmentation and decomposition of the existing fat. X-Melt® and the
Artichoke extract stimulate cutaneous microcirculation and assist the transport of the
broken down fat. Furthermore, Levan provides a tightening effect on the skin.
SLIMEXIR® has a visible and measurable body-shaping effect resulting in a significant
reduction of abdomen volume.
The efficacy of SLIMEXIR® has been proven in several studies:
Prevents formation of new Adipocytes (in-vitro study)
Reduces lipid accumulation in Adipocytes (in-vitro study)
Stimulates degradation of existing fat (in-vitro study)
Triggers fragmentation of lipid droplets (postulated mechanism) (in-vitro study)
Leads to a significant reduction of abdomen volume (in-vivo study)
SLIMEXIR® –
The Silhouette-Refiner SIMEXIR® is designed for cosmetic products to
refine the silhouette and re-contour the body. It is
water soluble and can be easily incorporated into
cosmetic formulations such as gels and emulsions.

Resistem™. Beautifully immunized against time.
Combining two cosmetic hot trends in one product...Sederma did it!
Sederma has chosen to produce its new product Resistem™ by plant cell culture as this technology is an inexhaustible source of metabolites of interest with numerous benefits for sustainability, safety, quality and sourcing. Positioned as a high tech anti-ageing ingredient, it mimics the natural hormetic phenomenon of defence.
While skin undergoes daily stress as, for example, UVAB, stress, pollution, smoke, junk food that generate noxious agents; these noxious agents contribute to the accumulation of toxins in keratinocytes which creates redness, premature ageing, and reduces natural skin glow.
Resistem™ is able to reproduce a hormetic response in the skin cells that develops a genuine defence system in the heart of the skin. A complex and diverse in vitro evaluation has proven Resistem™’s positive effect on:
• tissue regeneration by preservation of skin stem cells character and niche,
• cell detoxification by maintenance of proteasome activity,
• cell longevity by stimulation of the sirtuin-1 synthesis.
Resistem™ is the anti-ageing “bodyguard” of the skin. It helps skin decrease the level of pro-ageing agents and the toxin-induced micro inflammations. In vivo tests demonstrated its ability to soothe skin redness, improve complexion evenness and restore natural glow. The skin feels appeased and reveals its fresh looking. With Resistem™, the skin recreates its own beauty; it sounds like loops the loop!
Do you want to create a high performance SPF, UVA-PF suncare formulation with the best sensory properties possible? Today's consumers want both high protection and a formulation that feels great on the skin.
Most UV filters are either oils, or have to be dissolved in polar emollients. Highly loaded oil phases lead to lower cosmetic elegance and sub-optimal performance. Joanne Johnson, sales manager for Cornelius Group Plc (the distributor for BASF Personal Care in the UK and Ireland) says: "Tinosorb S Aqua allows formulators to bring the most efficient oil soluble, broad spectrum UV filter into the water phase. With all the outstanding properties of the original Tinosorb S: excellent photo-stability, high contribution to SPF and UVA-PF at low concentrations and excellent tox profile, Tinosorb S Aqua allows to optimise the sunscreen performance through improved filter dispersion, and create the best sun protection products possible". It offers:
• High SPF and UV PF performance.
• Lower oil phase = excellent sensory properties.
• Excellent photo stability for long lasting protection.
• Outstanding stabilisation of photo-unstable UV filters .
• Improved filter distribution.
• No negative influence on water resistance.
• No skin whitening.
• Increased formulation flexibility.
The formulators can also use BASF's Sunscreen Simulator to test the products in-silico before expensive in vitro or in vivo testing. The Sunscreen Simulator from BASF is an invaluable tool, helping to calculate the SPF of prototype formulations with two UV sources and at different application amounts.

Effects of the menopause on skin - Menofit® can reverse these changes
During the menopause, the level of iron in the skin increases leading to matrix degradation and skin slackening.
The change in hormonal activity which occurs accentuates aging, causing increased skin dryness, thinning of the skin, uneven surface micro-relief and wrinkles.
To counter these changes Silab developed Menofit®, rich in purified artichoke leaf peptides. Menofit has been specifically developed and tested on both menopausal skin cells and volunteers.
Menofit®, tested at 3% vs placebo showed the following efficacy:
- After 14 days water content was significantly increased
- After 28 days wrinkles in the crow's feet area were significantly reduced (measured by fringe projection)
- After 56 days skin thickness was significantly increased (measured by confocal microscopy)
Menofit® is recommended for all anti-aging products targeted at menopausal women. Saturday's Daily Mail carried an article detailing products from Alliance Boot's No7 range which are designed to reverse these effects.
Matrixyl® 3000 New test reveals age gain by 2 years in just 1 month
A new proof of the efficiency of Matrixyl® 3000, the well-known matrikine based anti-ageing ingredient, is available. This time, its ability to help repair the UV damage-prone papillary dermis has been demonstrated.
The papillary dermis, located just under the dermis/epidermis junction (DEJ), is more fragile than the reticular dermis and is intensely affected by photo ageing. Papillary fibroblasts are fundamental to promote epidermal morphogenesis and wound healing that is why papillary dermis repair delivers visible anti-wrinkle benefits.
In vivo studies have revealed the positive matrix reinforcing effect of Matrixyl® 3000 by measuring the SLEB density (Subepidermal Low Echogenic Band that corresponds to the papillary dermis). A significant improvement corresponding to a gain in age of 1.8 years is visible in just one month, and confirmed after 2 months: the photo-induced ageing is then delayed by 5.5 years.
Another analysis of the papillary dermis by confocal laser microscopy has shown that Matrixyl® 3000 helps reduce the fibre fragmentation and notably supports the reconstruction of the papillary dermal fibre network.
This new test confirms the repairing effects of Matrixyl® 3000: promotion of wrinkle smoothing and improvement of skin tone and elasticity. Claiming “Matrixyl inside” on your anti-ageing products makes even more sense.

Sederma will take the opportunity of in-cosmetics Asia 2011 to present its latest innovative cosmetic ingredients, as well as a new test of the well-known Matrixyl® 3000:
Resistem™: Produced by plant cell culture, Resistem™ is an anti-ageing ingredient that mimics the natural hormetic phenomenon of defence. It helps skin decrease the level of pro-ageing agents and the toxin-induced micro inflammations by maintaining proteasome activity in order to restore skin’s natural glow. The anti-ageing protection offered by Resistem™ also includes tissue regeneration by preservation of skin stem cell character and niche, and cell life span extension by stimulation of the sirtuin-1 synthesis.
Widelash™: Based on a vitaminated matrikine complex, Widelash™ positively acts on accentuating the natural appearance of the eyelashes and their anchorage to reduce eyelash loss. By fortifying the hair fibre and bulb, the rate of cell multiplication at the level of the root sheath is increased, improving keratinocyte synthesis and thus hair fibre production. Widelash™ offers 3 visible beauty benefits: improvement of eyelash length, increase in eyelash thickness and volume, and fortifying effect.
Matrixyl® 3000: A new proof of the efficiency of Matrixyl® 3000, the matrikine based anti-ageing ingredient, is available. This time, it is its ability to help repair the UV damage-prone papillary dermis that has been demonstrated.

The Matrixyl® brand is known worldwide, its name being synonymous with “efficacy" and "reliability” in fighting ageing signs. It is one of the rare ingredient name that is known by end-users and which benefit from their recognition.
So what about using this renown and make it clearly appear on the end-product that it contains an ingredient from the Matrixyl® range? For an impacting communication of the presence of a Matrixyl® ingredient, Sederma has launched a Matrixyl® inside logo to be displayed on the end-product packaging.
Any end-product containing an ingredient from the Matrixyl® range (conditions apply) can benefit from this cutting–edge ingredient branding programme. Contact Sederma for more information.

Oat Cosmetics has launched an Ecocert accredited Superfine Oat Flour for use in natural cosmetic ingredients.
Creams and lotions requiring superior gelling, thickening or texturising properties, and pressed powder products will benefit from Superfine Oat Flour’s enhanced oil absorption benefits, as the flour is capable of absorbing 18% more oil than traditional oat flours
Manufactured using a patented process, the flour is extremely easy to formulate over a wide temperature range and has excellent textural characteristics resulting in silky smooth creams, including a reduction in their oiliness.
Its light colour is beneficial to formulators looking for white colour bases, and the ultra fine flour is competitively priced when compared with alternatives.
Further details and samples are available from www.oat.co.uk

Sleep is a simple secret to beautiful skin… but our hectic lives often rule the rest routine.
The lack of sleep creates stressful conditions that raise the level of internal toxins, one of which being glycotoxins. Glycotoxins deregulate the skin’s natural systems responsible for the repair and protection processes that occur during sleep; consequently, this deregulation contributes to impaired cell function, tissue disruption, damaged microvessels, etc..
With Prodizia™, Sederma provides a solution that promotes a visible reduction in the cutaneous signs of fatigue: dark circles, under eye bags, dull complexion and drawn features.
By supporting specific detoxifying systems (glyoxalase and proteasome), Prodizia™ can both protect and repair the proteic structures damaged by glycation. Furthermore, Prodizia™ helps regulate melatonin levels of glycation-stressed skin cells, ensuring an optimal repair process during sleep. This, along with its ability to help fight against glycation during the day and repair proteic structures damaged by glycation during the night, makes it perfect for a 24-hour treatment.
An in vivo 2-month study clearly demonstrated that the volunteers, themselves, noted a significant reduction in the visible tired look of their face after just 10 days of applying a cream containing Prodizia™; and by the end of the study there was an overall 44% reduction.
Thanks to Prodizia™, the skin looks prodigiously refreshed just like after a good night’s sleep.
