12 November Room C Seminars

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]In an increasingly regulated cosmetics landscape, even minor compliance missteps can lead to serious consequences—consumer safety risks, costly recalls, product rework, and lasting damage to brand reputation. Ongoing inspections continue to uncover recurring failures, from ingredient safety concerns to non-compliant labelling and documentation gaps.

This session presents a multi-year analysis of the most common regulatory non-compliance trends, supported by real inspection feedback and challenges faced by Responsible Persons. Attendees will gain clear, actionable guidance to strengthen compliance frameworks, reduce regulatory risk, spot red flags early, and protect both consumer trust and business performance’[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Join us on an exciting journey where the richness of European traditions meets the forefront of personal care innovation. This presentation will unveil a selection from the curated collection of 14 groundbreaking formulations from diverse countries, showcasing an array of textures and formats such as powder, serums, sticks, oil-gel, oils, and biphase/trhiphase products, all crafted to elevate your personal care formulations. Attendees will explore formulations that embody the latest industry trends and meet the most sought-after consumer claims. Additionally, learn how to achieve these innovative formulations with synergistic and key ingredients, as our technical expert reveals essential hints and insights for their creation. Beauty Passport, will guide you on a sensory exploration through facial, body, sun, and hair care. Join us as we celebrate the fusion of European traditions and cutting-edge innovation, transforming your approach to personal care and enriching your well-being.

Verdant have developed innovative methods for sustainably delivering desirable aesthetics and sensorial properties to a wide range of Personal Care formulations, whilst also enhancing functionality and performance. The MACKPEARL® Liquid Pearliser range provides a means of bringing high shine pearlescence to formulations (e.g. shampoos and body washes) but in a more sustainable way than traditional solid pearlisers. Due to their liquid nature, these MACKPEARL® products can be easily dispersed into formulations through cold process and simple agitation, which brings time, energy and cost savings to the formulator. The characteristics of the resulting pearlescence is tunable, with some MACKPEARL® products bringing a shiny, more translucent pearl, others bringing a more opaque pearl, whilst a handful provide pearl-free opacity. The MACKPEARL® Pearlisers not only bring a luxurious aesthetic to formulations, but they also bring secondary benefits, such as viscosity building and foam boosting, whilst the compositional flexibility of the range means that formulators can further meet the consumer's sustainably needs, with sulfate-free, EO-free and alkanolamide-free options all being available.

The MACKSPEC™ OCC range are fully formulated performance concentrates that can again be introduced into formulations without the need for additional heat. They allow for high levels of natural oils (up to 30%) to be incorporated into a formulation, providing excellent sensorial benefits and long-lasting hydration and moisturisation to the end user. In a similar vein to the MACKPEARL® range, due to being composed of mild surfactants, they bring secondary benefits to the formulator, including a rich, creamy and stable foam, whilst also having the ability to suspend oils and beads in the formulation.

Talc is used widely in cosmetic applications, from body care to colour cosmetics, but there is a push from consumers to find alternatives to talc that meet the market needs without losing efficacy and functionality. Formulators are looking to discover new approaches for talc free formulations. Azelis has studied the attributes and benefits of starches to bridge the gap between expectations and performance.

Making anti-aging skin care consumer-relevant.

The first impression of a new person we meet is formed intuitively within seconds. This almost automatic process covers a whole range of factors, also taking into account how youthful and radiant the skin looks. Discover with us how we conducted a unique study to find out whether 170 naïve graders would choose the photo showing the side treated with CutiGuard CLR™.

And what if they only have 3 seconds to make their decision?

We will present 3 actives protecting, fortifying and rejuvenating skin layers and offer a perfect combination for a perfect glow. Embrace the future of skincare with Sytheon's, now Hallstar, innovative, scientifically backed solutions that empower skin to resist time and enhance longevity.

OBJECTIVE:
Recently, due to environmental impact and regulation, the challenge given to R&D to replace petro-based polymers has never been more important. But the description of a polymer is complex. Each polymer can be considered from its chemical structure, its organization, its rheology properties, its functionality, its sensorial behavior. A new data tool with multi criteria approached is evaluated on this study.

METHOD:
Cargill’s innovation team had the idea that Artificial Intelligence (traditional AI – not Gen AI) could be the right medium for a new comprehensive approach on cosmetic polymers. The aim was to create a tool capable of performing an analysis on big data and then generating predictive results according paterns. 44 criteria based on rheology, tribology, texture analyzer and sensory data were identified. The evaluation of 30 polymers including petro-based and derived natural polymers generated over 8,000 data points.

RESULTS:
Data Science team a t Cargill design a dedicated tool for cosmetic in order to have a more comprehensive knowledge on polymers. Cargill’s polymer mapping tool gives a support to visualize the position of derived natural polymers and the petro-based polymers. It confirms the generic knowledge that petro-based polymers behave differently from derived natural materials. Only combinations of derived natural polymers can offer an alternative to petro-based materials. The mapping is showing that lot of natural polymers network are associative. This pattern gives us opportunity to design a new intelligent able to predict behavior of association of polymers. From this unique tool we can foresee best associations to replace dedicated synthetic polymers.

The results provided by artificial intelligence is confirmed by new material developed and launched by Cargill Beauty to replace a carbomer. The example of our new Actigum Care shows the relevancy of the options of association proposed by the tool as replacement of Carbomer.

CONCLUSIONS:
Crafted with precision we are able to adjust combinations of natural material for the replacement of petro-based polymer.
