Preservation
An Offensive Defense: Minimizing Preservatives, Maximizing Protection and Resources
Designing formulations with maximum preservation efficacy using minimum preservative quantities is vital for several reasons, outlined here. This strategy is referred to as an “offensive defense,” and requires leveraging the right preservatives and levels for given formulation designs.

IFSCC Presents the Effectiveness, Economic and Ecological Aspects of Cosmetics
After sudden flooding in Thailand postponed the initial 2012 International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) Conference date, the Society of Cosmetic Chemists in Thailand (SCCT) organized a successful event at Bangkok’s Dusit Thani Hotel on Dec. 12–14, 2011.

The Future of Spas and Wellness: Saunas in the Limelight
Saunas have been shown to positively affect skin, including protecting its surface pH and hydration, among other benefits. Research shows essential oils can affect central nervous system functioning beyond smell; although their combined effects with saunas on biophysical parameters are yet to be investigated.

Wellbeauty and the Mind-skin Connection: A New Era of Care
The skin doesn’t just reflect your health — it mirrors your mind. Here, expert Hemali Gunt, Ph.D., explains how stress, mood and beauty routines are biologically linked, and why the future of skin care is rooted in emotional and psychological wellness.

Structured Surfactant Systems for Improved Lasting Deposition of Perfume on Skin and Hair
To maximize perfume delivery from structured cleansing formulations, the fragrance must be introduced before structuring the formulation into multilamellar vesicles. Structured formulations fragranced in such a way are shown here to improve perfume deposition and duration versus micellar systems, with no negative impact on perfume burst during use.

Bar Soap Containing Water-soluble Phosphate Polymers for Controlled Release of Antimicrobial Silver and Other Bioactive Metal Ions
This paper presents data on the antimicrobial performance of a silver ion-releasing phosphate polymer incorporated into a bar soap product. Two studies test the speed, efficacy and longevity of the antimicrobial effect, highlighting the potential of these materials for the controlled, sustained release of bioactive metal ions in cosmetic products.

Effect of Perfumes on the Viscosity of Surfactant Systems
It is well-known that perfumes can affect the viscosity of bubble bath or shampoo formulations. Usually they have a thinning effect, but they can also cause a viscosity increase. The effect and its magnitude will vary with perfume type and also with the product formulation. Small changes in the latter can cause large changes in a perfume's effect on the viscosity.

Head and Shoulders Above the Rest: Emerging Trends and Regulatory Hurdles in Bath and Body
Is the average consumer more concerned about their body above the shoulders? Are they unwilling to spend more on bath and body because there's no big difference between products, despite the price point? Explore this and more with us.

Formulating Forum: Cleansers, Treatments and Makeup for Oily, Acneic and Seborrheic Skin and Scalp
Skin imbalances ranging from sensitivity and redness to dryness and oiliness can be linked to several factors and require proper formulation. This article considers cleansing, treatment and makeup for oily, acne-prone and seborrheic skin and scalp.

Surfactants and Interfacial Phenomena in Cosmetics and Detergency
An understanding of the behavior of surfactants and their interfacial phenomena in cosmetics processes will help formulators design better cosmetics.

Microbeads Then and Now: Polyethylene and Alternative Next-gen Abrasives
Properties of microbeads such as their particle size, density, morphology and material hardness are important for abrasive and sensory attributes. The present article highlights these and other aspects for both polyethylene-based beads and naturally derived abrasive alternates.

Characterization of Multilamellar Vesicles for Cleansing Applications
In the present article, the authors characterize a multilamellar vesicle (MLV) system used in personal care and verify its structure via X-ray scattering, rheology and fluorescence microscopy. This enabled the study of MLV formation to investigate bulk rheology characteristics. The results are presented here as application-relevant properties.

Surfactants and Cleansing Products
Today, cleansing products are available in solid bar, liquid and gel forms and can be based on alkaline salts and synthetic and natural surfactants. When substituted for alkaline salts, synthetic and natural surfactants improve the foam structure and mildness of formulas.

Polyesteramine Performance: Improving Mildness in Rinse-off Cleansers
Polyesteramines are typically used as cationic conditioners but their surface-active properties and ability to associate with detersive surfactants suggests irritation reduction and viscosity-building effects. To test these effects, surface tensiometry was used to quantify the surfactant-binding capacity of polyesteramines. Furthermore, preclinical assessments were made to determine irritation potential in epidermal equivalents.
