Endocrine Disruptors in the EU, SCCS Opinions and NGO Pressure to Crack Down
From November 2022–February 2023, organizations in seven European Union member states tested 121 products and found bisphenols of high concern in 47 of them, per Chemical Watch. NGOs are urging regulators to impose stricter regulation on all bisphenols.
Animal Alternatives
CTPA Convenes to Progress the Use and Regulatory Acceptance of Animal Testing Alternatives
The CTPA and the U.K. cosmetic industry wants to promote the use of new approach methodologies (NAMs) as alternatives to animal testing for these vital safety requirements under other chemicals legislation, especially UK Reach.

Hair Health Starts With the Scalp: Insights from Two P&G Head & Shoulders Experts
Hair care scientists scratched their heads for some time before they could put their finger on the primary causes of dandruff. Now, with the flakes brushed away, they are seeing the scalp in a new light. Two Procter & Gamble scientists, James Schwartz, Ph.D., and Rolanda Wilkerson, Ph.D., both with the Head & Shoulders brand, explain how in this exclusive interview.

Testing Tactics: How Sensory Testing Bridges the Gap Between Technology and Consumer Experience
This article delves into the role of sensory testing in the development of cosmetics for skin and hair. Its applications, methodologies and unique place in the innovation toolbox are highlighted, along with expert insights and journal article examples.

7 Years in the Making: CE Recommends In vitro SPF Double Plate Test Method
"... No in vitro method had [previously] advanced to the stage that CE could recommend it. So those who did not want to use an in vivo method could use any ... unvalidated method; this should no longer be the case."

Image Processing and Analysis to Evaluate the Effects of Porous Polyamide Microspheres in Cosmetics
Described here is an image processing system that compensates for changes in illumination and volunteer position, and two algorithms to quantify skin texture and wrinkles. These methods evaluate skin parameters from a single image without contacting skin. Their abilities are demonstrated here in evaluations of the benefits of porous polyamide ultra-fine powders on skin texture and gloss.

Jojoba Oil Esters Ease Inflammation, Sensitivity and Water Loss from Skin and the Environment
Water scarcity has become a major concern and jojoba is known to flourish under controlled low water conditions. As such, jojoba wax esters were explored for skin care to reduce inflammation and sensitivity and to provide hydration over a 24-hr period.

Turn Back Time: New Findings Suggest Science Could Potentially Reverse the Signs of Aging
It may finally be possible to turn back the clock. Using cellular reprogramming, scientists at the Salk Institute have found a way to reverse signs of aging.

Kao and Tsukuba Univ. Scientists Devise Technique to Visualize the Depths of Skin Wrinkling
Joint research from Kao Corp. and Tsukuba University aims to uncover the depths of structural changes in skin related to wrinkling utilizing an imaging technique that algorithmically localizes backscattered light from skin into layers.

Are Your Sunscreens Infra-ready? New In vitro Method Puts Data Behind the Claims
Considering more and more sun care products are claiming infrared (IR) protection, it is important to standardize the parameters by which they are evaluated. Since IR-A and IR-B are the most implicated in skin damage, a test method was developed based on these wavelengths, as described here.

Correlation of Long-term Physical Stability of Emulsions with the Short-term Rheological Measurements
Three short-term rheological measurements on some model personal care emulsions showed good correlation with long-term physical instability of the emulsions. Use of these rheological measurements can shorten the time to test the stability of new formulations.

In vivo Delivery Confirmation: Measuring the Deposition of Salicylic Acid from Anti-acne Face Wash
Measuring the delivery of active ingredients is an important part of the product development process, and particularly desirable are non-invasive, in vivo methods. This work describes the use of fluorescence excitation emission matrices in vivo to measure the deposition of salicylic acid from anti-acne face wash products.
