Within the anti-aging skin care field, peptides are one of the most sought-after solutions due to their well-defined chemical, analytical, and physicochemical properties as well as specificity in mechanism of action. Now, a new, naturally-derived peptide has been developed by following the principles of green chemistry, without compromising performance. Inspired by electrical stimulation, this high performance peptide has been shown to mimic the benefits of microcurrent devices. Analysis of facial features in both male and female panelists who used the peptide showed a ‘triorbital’ skin lift, demonstrating a complete upper face lifted appearance with marked improvements in the eyebrow, eyelid, and cheek. Treatment with the peptide also minimized the appearance of wrinkles after only one week. Clinical efficacy was comparable to using a commercially available microcurrent device over the same period, supporting the claim of a microcurrent-like effect.

Acne is an awful disease and fortunately, cosmetics can help a lot to treat acne-prone skin. However, traditional approaches often overlook the skin microbiome. By acknowledging that acne is also a disease of the skin microbiome, we can develop better treatments with surprising results. How can you do this? Make sure to join Partick Gonry of Gobiotics at SCS Formulate 2023 to unlock the acne-microbiome.

Upcycling is one of the elements of a much wider topic: the circular economy, which is not really a new concept. Before industrialization, food production was considered to be circular due to its own nature. Traditional farming culture did not tolerate waste, everything was considered usable: “Waste not want not”.

Today the circular economy is being re-evaluated in a modern context where the sustainability of resources and processes is again a key point for a fairer development of the society and the protection of the environment.

Through the upcycling of by-products from excellent Italian agri-food production, Phenbiox has developed several active ingredients for cosmetics based on our innovative Hyperfermentation processes able to boost the efficacy of these actives.

We will be delighted to present it to you on the stand of our distributor Lehvoss or during the reading.

Cationic Amino Lipid Technology: Breakthrough Conditioning for Sustainable Hair Care

Consumers prioritize sustainable and safe hair care products without compromising performance. Traditional hair care products rely on quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) to achieve high-performance results. However, these industry-standard conditioning ingredients cannot be derived from all natural ingredients and are known to cause skin and eye irritation and aquatic toxicity.

Plant-based cationic amino lipids present a compelling solution as they are readily biodegradable, non-toxic to aquatic life, and pose no risk of irritation to the skin and eyes. They exhibit exceptional performance on all hair types, delivering desirable conditioning, anti-static, curl definition, and hair strengthening benefits. Most recently, a unique combination of Brassicyl Valinate Esylate with Cetearyl Alcohol was shown to have equivalent hair conditioning performance to Behentrimonium Chloride (BTAC) on European, Chinese, and Curly Multi-Ethnic hair types. Amino lipids also meet growing consumer-desired claims including 100% natural, amino acid derived, weightless conditioning, and luxury textures.

The Inolex cationic amino lipid technology platform offers a comprehensive and innovative approach to sustainable and high-performance hair care. These novel hair care systems reduce environmental impact and enhance safety, allowing the development of hair care products that meet the evolving demands of conscious consumers.

BDI-BioLife Science has combined the power of nature with innovative technologies to develop a must-have ingredient for anti-ageing products.  ASTACOS^® OL50, also known as red diamond, is a natural ingredient containing algae-based astaxanthin.

Astaxanthin, an exceptionally powerful antioxidant, has been shown in extensive studies to reduce skin damage caused by free radicals, improve biological cell protection and maintain oxidative balance.

Sensitive skin is a common skin condition which affect more than 50% of people and is characterized by high reactivity to environmental and internal factors. Indeed, sensitive skin could be manifestation of intensive sun exposure, urban pollution, mechanical stress, but also psychological stress and hormonal disorders. People affected by this condition may experience skin redness, irritation, inflammation, premature aging, degenerative processes and other adverse reactions.
Skin Save™ , a powder product of the Bionap cosmetic line, is an ingredient created specifically for sensitive skin to counteract skin inflammation, redness and irritation. It consists of a blend of three botanical extracts obtained from co-products of the agro-alimentary industry: Opuntia ficus-indica cladodes, Capparis spinosa and Olea europaea leaves. In particular, polysaccharides from Opuntia ficus-indica provide moisturization and repairing effect, Olive biophenols have a soothing action and Caper flavonoids confer a desensitizing effect. The beneficial effects of the product have been demonstrated by 4 clinical studies in which Skin Save™ has been shown to reduce skin redness and discomforts caused by mechanical stress (epilation/shaving), inflammation and discomforts associated to chemical irritation, skin erythema induced by radiotherapy treatment and to counteract solar aggression preventing from premature aging.

Delivering excellence in consumer experience is critical to continued product success for all personal care and cosmetic manufacturers. Capturing this experience is essential in qualitative and quantitative research to maximise insight and provide robust and accurate data that will drive successful innovation and support product claims. SAM has a range of new data collection tools that use mobile apps, voice recognition and gamification to increase consumer engagement and better capture those critical moments of truth. These tools will be introduced in this presentation alongside a new approach to measure the relative roles of product, brand and pack to product success.

Key Takeaways:
A fresh look at how to approach insight generation and claims research.

Sulfate-free trend continues to grow worldwide, especially in North America and in Europe, explained by different drivers: the increased awareness of consumers about the ingredients entering their cosmetic products and their possible impact on their health & on the planet, the bad image of sulfates, perceived as harsh chemicals and associated with skin and eye irritation, etc.

However, in Sulfate Free, the formulators have to face many challenges, starting by achieving the desired viscosity, while keeping stability of the chassis over time. The salt topic is thus key. Indeed salt helps to build the viscosity but if present in too much quantity, it can cause also clarity and stability issues, especially when the formula incorporates cationic polymer for Hair/Skin conditioning, or naturally-derived thickening polymer with limited salt tolerance.

During the presentation, François-Florian will present the Solvay’s strong expertise in Sulfate Free formulations and the various developed ingredients and solutions to rise to these different challenges.

Aevum Vita 406 is a mild, naturally derived surfactant for use in cosmetic products with excellent anti-microbial and foaming properties.

Furthermore, Aevum Vita 406 shows excellent anti-dandruff and good anti-acne activities. It shows very good anti-fungal activity against Malassezia Furfur, which has been shown to cause dandruff on the scalp.

Beauty Movements: The next phase of inclusive beauty

Movements are memorable because they signify a shift, a breakthrough, something long-lasting.

When we think about beauty movements, over the past few years we’ve seen huge strides with inclusivity and transparency. Beauty brands are casting a wider net, to ensure all communities, all humans, feel welcome, whether that is through gender, hair/body/skin types, ethnicity, or disability adaptations. The door is open for ALL and brands are eager to bring consumers into their world, tell their story, and share experiences. Join us in a discussion on the next phase of inclusive beauty, a beauty that knows “No Boundaries.” Learn how this next phase of inclusivity is shaping product development, textures and even ingredient selections. Let’s envisage what the consumer of today and tomorrow will expect from beauty brands through their own personal, yet inclusive experience.
