Anti-dandruff Efficacy of Sodium Shale Oil Sulfonate Versus Coal Tar
Coal tar is an effective antidandruff active, but it contains compounds that are proven carcinogens. In this article sodium shale oil sulfonate is shown in preliminary results for the first time to have antidandruff efficacy equivalent to that of coal tar with none of coal tar’s toxic potential.
Cleansing
Stabilized Solutions of Zinc Coceth Sulfate for Skin Cleansing and Skin Care
Tests described here show that chelating agents can stabilize solutions of zinc coceth sulfate, enabling this multifunctional active to provide mild skin cleansing, antidandruff, deodorant and skin renewal benefits. The role of zinc species deposition onto skin has also been investigated.
Hair Care

Actives
Narcissus Tazetta
and
Schizandra Chinensis
to Regulate ‘Youth Gene Clusters’—An In vitro Analysis
A blend of
Narcissus tazetta
bulb and
Schizandra chinensis
fruit extracts was developed for anti-aging benefits and tested for efficacy on a human skin equivalent. Results indicate it regulates the functions of youth gene clusters by increasing the activities found in younger skin and reducing the activities found in aging skin specific to structure, hydration, cellular proliferation and pigmentation.
Claims/Labeling
Cosmetic Safety: Public Perception and Scientific Reality
As far as the public is concerned, hypothetical risks are real. And if anyone studies a chemical in depth, they can find some effect but whether it should be removed from the market comes down to a risk-benefit analysis. Cosmetic formulation is a continuous process of keeping in step with research, and when a true risk emerges, addressing it.
