6 New Trends in Cosmetic Technology

The topics described during in this conference session were but a sampling of innovation scattered throughout the in-cosmetics Global show floor. But their overall tone seemed to accurately reflect a larger future direction of the industry.

[podcast] Biggest Consumer Concerns in Hair

"Today’s concerns are the same as they always have been," says Trefor Evans, Ph.D. "Although every now and then, a new attribute comes along." Learn more in this exclusive podcast and at the TRI-Princeton International Conference on Applied Hair Science.

Screening Botanical Ingredients: Challenges and Opportunities

Botanical ingredients are interesting for their unique and complementary chemical diversities yet they are criticized for these very traits, which make quality assurance, reproducibility and good phytochemical characterization—required for successful high throughput screening, difficult. This article discusses these challenges as well as the benefits of large-scale screenings of botanical extracts that are currently used or developed for cosmetic product development.

Determination of the In Vitro SPF

A ring test at six European test centers showed that SPF evaluations with good reproducibility and comparability could be obtained by an in vitro protocol measuring either transmittance or erythema-effective irradiance of product samples applied on PMMA plates.

Cosmetic Testing in 2000 and Beyond

Changes in cosmetic testing are being driven by regulation and advanced technologies, such as new in vitro methods, molecular combinational chemistry and skin delivery. Part of the Series: From Test to Claim.

In Sight—QOL Testing: Complementing Clinicals

Personal care efficacy tests are known to test the physical effects or toxicity of products, often omitting more abstract and possibly equally as important factors such as well-being.

DSM Discovers Efficacy in ReguScence

DSM’s new research findings confirmed the efficiency in even skin tone application from the ingredient, ReguScence.

In Vivo Quantitative Evaluation of Gloss

A real time polarization analysis technique is described that differentiates components of scattered light in video images and enables in vivo quantitative evaluation of gloss from hair and skin during quality control and claims substantiation.

Patch Testing vs. In Vitro Alternatives

A comparison between results of in vitro and in vivo testing on a selection of personal-care products begins to establish a validation database for in vitro product safety testing.

Oxygen Breathes Life Into Hair Regeneration Research

Oxygen-permeable silicone was the key to recent research in Biomaterials, developed in hopes to bring about new hair regeneration treatments.

ICCVAM Requests Info on Skin Sensitization Testing

The Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) has requested the submission of new science or information on alternative test methods or testing strategies for skin sensitization, as part of a plan of action to advance this area.

Researchers Initiate Automation of Skin Model Production

Instead of just a single layer skin model of a single cell type, the researchers have access to a patent-protected skin model that consists of two layers with different cell types. The researchers liken this model to a perfect copy of human skin and are in the process of developing the first fully-automated process chain for manufacturing two-layer skin models.

Detecting Water Content in Deep Eutectic Solvents

Research appearing in the Journal of Molecular Liquids explores the use of ATR-IR spectroscopy to estimate the water content in natural deep eutectic solvents.

Inducing Hormesis for a Lipofilling-like Action

The present article discusses a new approach to mimic lipofilling—the activation of hormesis, which is accomplished by the described encapsulated active designed to induce a transitory stress and initiate an overcompensation to reestablish homeostasis. This leads to the compensation of age-induced lipoatrophy and correction of wrinkles and folds, for a younger-looking appearance.

The Safety Factor in Preservative Efficacy Testing

The authors explain how preservative efficacy testing is done to determine whether a formula is adequately preserved. Product contamination problems are frequently caused by inadequate preservation.
