Texture Analysis to Select Packaging and Formulate Hair Care Products
Texture analysis provides quantitative information about a material’s response when deformed by a controlled force. Examples illustrate the use of a texture analyzer to evaluate shampoo extrusion, hair spray film toughness, hair spray tackiness, styling wax hardness and aerosol canister deployment.

Liquid Crystals in O/W Emulsions with Urea: Development and Testing
Using a ternary phase diagram, the authors developed systems based on nonionic surfactants, light paraffin oil, water, and (optionally) urea. Systems in which lamellar liquid crystals formed and in which urea was an ingredient showed higher occlusive power and lower TEWL in in vitro tests.

J&J Points to Collaboration and 6 Areas for Future Growth
“We need to openly publish our scientific data and challenge each other to progress,” said J&J's Josh Ghaim, Ph.D., during the IFSCC 2016 Congress. “We can then align standards and simply let the competitive technologies and products speak for themselves.”

Cold Stress Damage, Banished:
Daphne odora
Extract Improves Skin Moisture and Healing
Cold stress can affect the integrity of the skin. In relation, compounds synthesized by plants under environmental stress have been characterized for their protective effects; although limited data relates to cold stress. This article explores an extract from
Daphne odora
cell cultures to address cold stress-related damage including dryness, cutaneous micro-lesions and inflammation.

Influence of Skin Diffuse Reflectance on Sun Damage and Ingredient Efficacy Measurements
Current in vitro methods to assess photostability and antioxidant activity do not account for the diffuse reflectance of skin. Described here is an in vitro test that addresses this variable, mimics end-use product conditions and models photodamage processes. The approach is employed to determine the efficacy of an antioxidant from the
Camellia sinensis
(tea) plant.

A High Throughput Method to Predict Skin Penetration and Screen Topical Formulations
This work studies the applicability of a 96-well-based skin-mimetic artificial membrane permeability model to differentiate between topical pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. Results are compared with data obtained from in vitro Franz cell permeability measurements and reveal the applicability of this method to assess cosmetic formulation permeation and speed the discovery process.

Body Talk: Defining Volume, A Technical Dissertation on Hair Body and Volume
Consumer definitions of hair
volume
and
body
differ from their scientific counterparts, while both remain vague. This column discusses challenges concerning the study of hair volume and body, including the influences of hair coloring and styling.

Propanediol Caprylate: Shifting the Microbiome, Sebum Levels and Classic Approach to Dandruff
Propanediol caprylate was previously shown to deactivate
Malassezia
for dandruff control. In parallel, its effects to shift the balance of
Cutibacterium
and
Staphylococcus
in the scalp microbiome, and reduce dandruff and sebum are explored here.
