Room C Seminars

This presentation will review cold-process combinations of monoalkanolamides with amphoterics, pearl concentrates, alkyl polyglucosides with a high Krafft point sulfosuccinate, and more. The performance of these materials will be explored, demonstrating their usefulness in reducing processing time and cost.

Surfachem will be exploring innovative strategies for creating cost-efficient processes in personal care formulations. Abbie Charles, Technical Development Manager, and Charlie Munday, Account Manager at Surfachem will be highlighting the pivotal role of technology and multi-functional ingredients in transforming formulation design.

We will discuss new technology launches that enable manufacturers to achieve luxurious textures and performance while maintaining cost efficiency. Attendees will learn about new ingredient launches that offer multi-functional benefits, simplifying supply chains and reducing raw material needs.

With a focus on technology and innovation, we will demonstrate how Surfachem leverages these advancements to meet consumer demands and drive industry growth. Join us to discover how to craft future-ready formulations that align with economic and environmental goals, setting new standards for excellence in personal care products.

Multi-phase personal care products have been trendy for decades. Usually triphasic formulations include silicone, glycol or petroleum-based ingredients and the way to formulate them is based on the exclusion of solubility. We will present an innovative way to formulate multi-phase cosmetics in liquid form based on Winsor III microemulsions. Our triphasic microemulsions are composed of ingredients that are carefully selected from a range of raw materials that have an ISO 16128 index higher than 0.90. The intrinsic properties of these microemulsions support a higher sensory profile, with superior performance and stability than traditional formulations.

Combining the words "no" and "toxins," Notox is all about embracing natural beauty, avoiding harmful ingredients, and adopting a minimalist skincare routine.

People are swapping wrinkle-relaxing injectables for treatments promising longevity. To opt for facial alternatives to wrinkle-relaxing injections like botox for a youthful complexion.
900 000 botulinum toxin injections are carried out in the UK each year.
The non-surgical skin tightening market size is estimated to increase by over $500 million between 2023 to 2027.

Modern consumers are evolving from end-users to change agents driving product innovations by making their voices heard.

Planet health is the most important issue for consumers worldwide. According to the 2023 Innova Lifestyle & Attitudes Survey, 36% of consumers globally agree that climate change is a top concern.  In addition, 34% say that they would like to see companies help protect nature, believing that brands have a role to play.

In this growing space, biotechnology and upcycling are pivotal strategies to offer a “guilt-free” beauty experience to conscious consumers while delivering powerful performance.

Mastering these techniques, CP Kelco is the right partner to support manufacturers in their sustainable beauty journey. Come and learn our sustainability-first approach, and discover how we make products on purpose.

Expectations for modern SPF formulations extend beyond performance, such as providing a reliable sun protection factor (SPF).
Ecological considerations, like aquatic toxicity and the potential for endocrine disruption, contribute to the so-called "eco-profiling" of formulation components.
The EU microplastic regulation also impacts the selection of ingredients. Additionally, the skincare product must remain elegant in application.

In this presentation, we introduce a new in-vivo tested SPF 50 face cream and explain the rationale behind the choice of specific components.
Key aspects include photo-stable and non-critical UV filters, physical SPF maximization, the selection of emollients, an eco-friendly formula, a multi-level protection strategy, and a PEG- and silicone-free composition.

Following a study into drought and disease resistance in plants, 2,3 Butanediol was identified as a significant factor in both attributes. This discovery led to the use of 2,3 butanediol as a cosmetic ingredient, bringing effective moisturisation and humectancy to formulations, and supporting effective preservation. Produced commercially using a natural fermentation process, this versatile substance is shown to give superior performance to synthetic analogues commonly used in cosmetics, while having reduced environmental impact. This presentation will detail the production, use and benefits of 2,3 Butanediol, relative to more commonly used materials.

“EverBond™ is a naturally derived bond-building ingredient that works to repair oxidatively damaged disulfide bonds and strengthen the keratin integrity of the hair fibre. A characteristic of healthy hair is a high level of intact, disulfide bonds which gives the hair its structure and strength. When hair colour, shape or style is modified, either through the chemical bleaching process, relaxing or perming, these bonds can weaken or are broken. This oxidative process results in cysteic acid formation within the hair and weakens the hair fibre making it more prone to breakage. This type of damage is traditionally believed to be irreversible and creates a need for an ingredient that penetrates into the cortex to repair these broken bonds and increase keratin integrity. EverBond creates a reducing environment to reverse this oxidative process, allowing the disulfide bonds to reform. The reformation of these disulfide bonds in turn strengthens the hair protein, making the hair stronger and more resistant to breakage. The alpha keratin is strengthened, allowing hair to be more elastic when force is applied.

Discover with me the untapped potential of signaling Ceramides and Sphingolipids!

While Ceramides are well known for their barrier effect, their capabilities extend far beyond. Join me as I delve into the fascinating world of these signaling molecules, which influence cellular processes like immunomodulation, DNA protection and dermal scaffold strengthening
