Poster Language: English Category: Flavor & Fragrance As described in the EU cosmetic legislation any efficacy claim on cosmetics should be scientifically verified. Therefore, we developed a method to evaluate the effects of different aroma-bath-additives after inducing psychological stress using a method based on the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) combined with the Objective Emotional Assessment (OEA). The TSST is a suitable tool to examine psychological stress responses and the influence of external conditions (e.g. relaxing bath). Although aromacological relaxation effects have previously been studied for different cosmetics, the stress-reducing impact of bath-additives has not yet been evaluated in a comparable approach which was investigated in the present study. A randomized, controlled and triple-blind trial was performed to evaluate the stress-reducing effects of bath-additives in 24 middle-aged female volunteers. Three different scented bath-additives were tested in four separate sessions under permuted order (within-subject design) and controlled by an unscented control product. The test was divided into four phases: psycho-physiological and metabolic “baseline” measurements, 10-minute stress-inducing interval, 20-minute bathing phase and psycho-physiological and metabolic “follow-up” measurements. In the present study, electrodermal activity (EDA), electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG) were simultaneously recorded. Furthermore, levels of salivary cortisol and alpha-amylase were determined. The present examination might be suitable for the investigation of relaxation effects of bath-additives and may be helpful for claim substantiation in bath product development. The study reveals long-term stress-reducing effects of bath-additives. Test samples affected psycho-physiological and metabolic responses on experimentally induced stress. Mean heart rate, EEG-Beta and EEG-High-Beta activity were decreased. Moreover, reduced levels of cortisol and alpha-amylase were exhibited at the follow-up measurement. An enhanced EEG-Theta-activity indicated an increased relaxation effect induced by the bath-additives. Clear differentiation between test samples was possible by analyzing the different parameters statistically. Finally, our new approach to investigate stress-reducing effects of bath-additives seems suitable for claim substantiation in cosmetics.
Poster Language: English Category: Flavor & Fragrance The research aiming at the development of simple high throughput analytical method to characterise and to quantify synthetic perfumes and essential oils in aqueous solution is presented. The approach exploits amphiphilic properties of aroma molecules resulting in their high interfacial dynamic activity, i.e. in the ability to decrease the surface tension of aqueous formulations. On the other side, in contrast to conventional surfactants, aroma molecules evaporate from air-water interface (or from the carrier surface), which results in the increase of the surface tension. Using dynamic tensiometry measurements (maximal bubble pressure tensiometer) we demonstrate the possibility to quantify the loading of a carrier material (e.g. inorganic salts) with perfume compositions, as well as the stability and shelf-life of the product. The results can be used for the optimisation of the procedures of perfume encapsulation/loading and for the evaluation/controlling of their release. Furthermore, the method is suitable for quantitative assessment of the amount of deposited perfumes on model and textile surfaces. The data obtained by the tensiometry measurements is correlated with the head-space chromatography analysis. Another important aspect of the developed approach is the possibility to evaluate the molecular solubility of perfumes/essential oils, which are typically poorly soluble in water. Comparison of our results with the literature values suggests that the latter are overrated due to so called meso-scale solubility of organic liquids in aqueous media. The methodological approach is further developed to disclose interactions of perfumes with other components of detergent and cosmetic formulations, such as surfactants, polymers, salts and pigments. The research is supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR), research project № 18-53-76005.
Poster Language: English Category: Flavor & Fragrance In the recent years new and challenging claims have been substantiated for odor masking products and fragrances. To be compliant with European regulations sufficient claim support evidence has to be provided. Deodorant and perfume efficacy can be tested with a variety of testing methods and study designs. How does the conduct for a classic efficacy study or proof of a specific claim look like? Especially for the organoleptic evaluation of Fragrance intensity, perception and long-lasting masking efficacy of perfumes odor judges ('sniffers') trained on a regular basis are essential and subjective evaluation of the consumers can be added. The assessment can be performed for multiple formulations, in comparative as well as in screening studies. Within this context the exact differentiation of perfume odor and sweat odor is crucial. Methods can tailored to the specific properties for specific product for instance in terms of sweat formation by additional physical activity or by creating a stressful situation. Beside the axillae as the typical test area several different parts of the body could be targeted as well as hair, textiles and other fabric materials. The proof of odor masking efficacy is also relevant concerning bad breath, foot odor, the smell of urine or cigarettes. Furthermore the influence of fragrances on skin tolerability plays an important role for the safety assessment of cosmetic products. Examples of test methods and possible claims will be presented and discussed.
Poster Language: English Category: Home Care / Detergents Washing clothes at low temperatures may cause unpleasant consumer experiences like malodor and feel of less clean and fresh laundry. In this study, the microflora at low and medium washing temperatures (15 and 40°C, respectively) combined with the use of liquid detergent was explored and compared to the microflora in a traditional 60 °C wash with powder detergent (no bleach). A lab test system mimicking EU washing conditions was set up, and dirty real item laundry swatches were washed over a period of 24 weeks. Most of the identified bacteria belonged to three phyla: Actinobacteria, Firmicutes and Proteobacteria. Laundry washed at 15 °C had the same high bacterial diversity as observed for unwashed laundry, whereas the bacterial diversity decreased by increasing washing temperature and the use of powder detergent. However, high total cell counts were found at low, medium as well as at high washing temperature. Most species with strong adhesion properties were found among isolates from laundry washed at high temperature. In addition, 24 fungal species comprising yeast and mold species were identified at low and medium temperature (15 and 40 °C), whereas no fungal presence was observed at high temperature (60 °C). Rubber was found to be the surface most predominant for bacterial adhesion, whereas PVC and stainless steel seemed to attract less bacteria. These findings confirm that lowering washing temperature and using liquid detergent are associated with survival of larger diversity of bacterial and fungal flora that potentially can cause freshness problems including malodor both from laundry and washing machine. Increased knowledge of the microbial communities in real-life laundry settings creates basis for selection of model organisms to study the laundry process and develop detergent enzymes for malodor reduction.
Poster Language: English Category: Home Care / Detergents Malodor from washing machines is a common customer complaint across the world. It originates from microorganisms living in the wet environment inside the machine where water is left over from wash to wash in the drain of the machine area called the sump. By characterization of the last rinse water of an European house hold front loader machine levels up to 17 mg/L linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) and 43 mg/L of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) were determined in the sump. Microflora from such a machine with malodor was found to be rich and able to feed on the surfactants. The microflora was characterized by 16S sequencing and bacteria like Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes (Pp) were isolated. By incubation of Pp for 2 weeks in a surfactant rich medium, dimethyl disulfide was identified as the major odor component having the highly characteristic smell of bad machine odor. Adhesion studies of Pp showed that it favored the liquid phase rather than establishing itself on surfaces and data indicate that it survives from wash to wash by settling into multispecies biofilm on surfaces in the sump area of the machine. Cleaning the household machine with a combination of hot water (90 ? long wash program) and citric acid reduced the level of dimethyl disulfide for one day before the malodor returned. Therefore, prevention of the problem would be a better solution than trying to mend the machine. Replacing surfactants, which works as food for bacteria, and including the right blend of enzymes would promote freshness in the wash and probably also in the machine.
Poster Language: English Category: Personal Care / Skin Care Since the beauty industry revolution, the development of cosmetic raw materials has been progressed in terms of massively cheaper searching for chemicals and compounds. This has been part of the overall trend of the early age of the cosmetic industry so far. However, changes have been made by applying biotechnology to make raw materials more scientific and rational not conceptual. Moreover, as interest in rejuvenation has increased, the role of natural biological metabolites, derived from inborn status has attracted much attention from social consumers. Thus, we herein therefore investigated microbial population studies (microbiome) and their metabolites (metabolome) in the skin of babies and adults to identify the essential metabolites that can restore a pure infant skin condition. As a result, a total of 35 samples of adults and infants groups were obtained and submitted to next generation sequencing (NGS) of 16s rRNA for identifying different microbial populations in the skin between infants and adults. According to the NGS data, 8 phyla and 104 genera were identified. Interestingly, completely different microorganisms were found in skin of infants and adults. Next, the small molecule intermediates and metabolites from the novel microorganisms that were isolated in infant group only were further investigated to metabolomics study by using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to identify precious ingredients for cosmetic application. Taken together, metabolite analysis of microorganisms from infant skin has encouraged us to develop new ingredients in cosmetics that are superior to previously reported natural compounds. It might be also contributed greatly to the promotion of generational change and rejuvenation in the field of cosmetics research.

Poster Language: English Category: Personal Care / Skin Care We know that Maslinic acid is going to act when we are talking about damages, no matter the type of the skin, age, sex, race or the cause of this damages (sun, pollution, sensitive skin, stress, aged skin). In this way, Maslinic Acid is going to work stopping inflammation (inflammation: is a state of chronic inflammation where the body, overwhelmed by a host of aggressors (connected to our lifestyle, environment, etc.), develops continuous inflammatory reactions, regularly stimulating enzymes that damage our tissues faster than they can be repaired). Maslinic acid is adapted to the cells of everybody letting them work in the way they need it (this adaptation is different for different people). This are the cells of each of us that start working in the way we need. Maslinic Acid is adapting to each different cells to let them working and repairing when cells are damaged.
Poster Language: English Category: Personal Care / Skin Care Recently mushrooms became a source of active ingredients like glucanes, proteins, phenolics, polyphenolics, terpenoids, selenium, polysaccharides, vitamins, and volatile organic compounds. These compounds show excellent antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, skin whitening, and moisturizing effects, which make them ideal candidates for cosmetics products. Agaricus bisporus, better known as button mushroom, recently gained interest as source of active ingredients, but not from upper part of fruiting body. Stalks and mycelium have been used instead as source that otherwise would be considered as waste. Water-based extraction of active ingredients in cascade approach gives various key products that can be used as cosmetic ingredients. One of them, containing mostly glucans and proteins in 4:1 ratio is tested for its antioxidant properties and as functional ingredient in cream and milk formulations as replacement of traditional antioxidants in natural products. Mushroom extract being acceptable natural ingredient for all natural products is ideal substitute for EDTA and BHT. Needed concentrations to achieve same action as of EDTA have been tested and suggested for further use of such extracts in natural cosmetic products.
Poster Language: English Category: Personal Care / Other (Technology & Machinery) Today most cosmetic products contain plant actives or isolated compounds from plants. Examples are oils, butters, proteins or plant extracts. Due to the high demand of plant derived cosmetic ingredients large amounts of plant material is needed and upon the isolation of the ingredients, large amounts of organic waste are obtained. The aim of this study was to use plant waste and to render it into formulations with cosmetic value. For this, different plant wastes were collected and homogenized to obtain formulations with particle sizes below 10µm. The free radical scavenging potential (anti-oxidant capacity) of the PlantCrystals was analysed and compared to the non-processed plant waste and to ascorbic acid. Results showed high free radical scavenging potentials for all PlantCrystal-formulations investigated. Indicating the great potential of plant waste for further use in cosmetic application. Interestingly, it was found that in some formulations the antioxidative capacity was decreased with increasing homogenization cycles. A possible reason for this might be the incorporation of oxygen into the formulations, which results in accelerated oxidation of the plant derived antioxidants. Therefore, to circumvent oxidation of plant compounds during the processing, in a second part of the study, the plant wastes were homogenized under oxygen-free conditions. Results confirmed the assumption and showed that PlantCrystals, when produced under oxygen-free conditions, can possess extremely high free radical scavenging potentials being similar to ascorbic acid. In conclusion, PlantCrystals represent a novel and simple formulation principle to render plants and plant material into effective cosmetic and can be used to turn plant waste into effective cosmetic ingredients. As there is no need for organic solvents, the PlantCrystal-technology is especially environmentally friendly and thus also highly suitable for the formulation of organic cosmetic products.
Poster Language: English Category: Legislative, Environment, Consumer Group / Sustainability In the cosmetics sector, branding is an effective way of binding customers to a specific product. Classic trademarks in form of words, pictures, three-dimensional forms and colors are already enjoying great popularity in the labelling of cosmetic products. As the product range continues to grow and consumers become more brand-conscious, the demand for prestigious and highly recognizable signs will continue to grow. For European Union trademark applications the former graphical representation requirement no longer exists since October 1, 2017. German legislation has now followed suit and on January 14, 2019 the Trademark Law Modernization Act (in German short: MaMoG) came into force. Dropping the graphical representation requirement is a paradigm shift. In the future, German trademarks may be represented in any appropriate form, e.g. in a standard audio or picture format. New and until now unusual signs can be protected as trademarks, leading to broad creative possibilities for especially original and aesthetical marks for cosmetics. These include motion marks that can contain e.g. of a sequence of still images, multimedia marks that can combine picture and audio element (e.g. as a video clip) and holograms. Of particular interest for the cosmetic area would be also signs that directly address the sensory perception of the customers. These are mainly olfactory marks, which address the olfactory sensation, and tactile marks, which address the haptic sensation, such as the special design of the surface of a product or its packaging. The latter signs are so far excluded from trademark protection in Germany and Europe. It is questionable whether the current change in the law will also lead to a liberalization of registration practice here. This presentation shall explain the additional forms of trademarks that will be available in the future and how to use them effectively in the cosmetic area.
Poster Language: English Category: Legislative, Environment, Consumer Group / Sustainability Nowadays, for chemical inventions substance protection for new chemical compounds is established in most countries. Particularly in Germany this was not the case for a long time. In earlier times, a patent was granted in Germany only for the respective process for the production of a chemical compound. The substance as such could be protected only indirectly as the immediate product of the process. Today's cosmetic products are generally not single compounds, but (partly complex) mixtures of substances, which acquire their special properties only by the interaction of two or more components. They are often the result of extensive and costly research and development work. This makes it all the more important to know that cosmetic formulations in the form of such combinations or mixtures can also be patented. This is also possible if the individual components of the formulation were all already known. But beware: patentability is not the same as the right to exercise the invention. If a legally valid patent has been previously granted to a third party on one of the components of the product, the marketing of the product may result in a direct patent infringement. Furthermore, the sale of a patent-free component of such a combination or mixture may also constitute a patent infringement. If a patent has been granted on a compound in the form of one of the aforementioned mixtures, caution is required in order not to commit an indirect patent infringement. Thus, any third party is prohibited from offering or supplying an essential component of the protected compound for use therein without the consent of the patentee. Such an unlawful act can already be the publication of product information for a substance, from which the suitability for use in the protected product can be taken.
Poster Language: English Category: Legislative, Environment, Consumer Group / Sustainability The microbiological harmlessness and safety of detergents and cleaning products is required by the Detergents Ordinance and the WRMG. Both regulations require microbiologically pure products without actually setting limits for what that entails, thus there are currently no methodological specifications for testing the microbial purity of these products. This lecture gives an insight into the correct performance of microbiological tests and shows what to pay attention to whiletesting detergents and cleaning products. Furthermore, the question is investigated whether all products must be subjected to testing or whether testing can be dispensed due to product and/or manufacturing properties. Strategies to avoid wrong results due to a lack of neutralization of samples as well as other frequent methodical errors are shown. In the event of a positive finding, the question arises whether the product concerned is still marketable or not. In addition to the number of microorganisms, the species of the bacterium, yeast or mould plays a very important role. The most frequently occurring microorganisms are briefly presented. Only with the necessary microbiological know-how and sufficient experience positive findings can be clearly evaluated. In addition to the microbiological examination of finished goods or raw materials within the framework of a release process, the performance and interpretation of the preservation challenge test is explained. This test serves to test the microbiological stability of products and is usually carried out as part of the development process. The interpretation of the results requires special attention. Finally, selected examples show what consequences product contamination might have. Product recalls, withdrawal from the market and even damage to the reputation of the company or brand are frequent consequences and there is even the potential for immense economic damage.
Poster Language: English Category: Legislative, Environment, Consumer Group / Sustainability Poly-vinyl Alcohol (PVA) based water-soluble film technologies have enabled the introduction and subsequent exponential growth of unit-dose pouches and tablets in the home-care and fabric-care sector around the world. At the same time, increased public, government and NGO attention has placed heightened attention on plastics and polymers of all kinds. This presentation will clarify the environmental profile of PVA water-soluble films, including end-of-life in aqueous systems. Based on a survey of scientific literature, the presentation will demonstrate that PVA water-soluble films dissolve in water, biodegrade, and do not persist in the environment nor contribute to micro-plastic pollution and that brand owners, retailers, and consumers can use these products with confidence in their environmental profile

Poster Language: English Category: Home Care / Cross Technology Innovation in Home Care and Personal Care Nowadays we are living in a constant changing society. Consumers demand for multifunctional, more efficient, cost-effective and eco-friendly products due to the increasing concern about health and human footprint in response to 21st century challenges. With this aim in head and taking a look back, Culpeper published The Complete Herbal (1653) which listed all of the functionalities of medicinal plants that were known at the time. It demonstrates that nature is an unexplored reservoir of multifunctional active ingredients. Depending on the product and its application, new interesting functionalities are introduced by using new disruptive ingredients. These new ingredients could offer from antimicrobial, insect repellent, beauty and cosmetic properties to hydrophobicity or self-healing properties depending on the product design and its use. We are not only talking about essential oils, we also use ingredients obtained by biotechnological processes (microbial fermentation and enzymatic synthesis) and high tech multifunctional biopolymers. The most important challenge is the introduction of these functional ingredients in complex formulas, due to low compatibility with the matrix and poor performance in the final product. Microencapsulation has arisen as the most promising tool to solve these specific issues trying to develop a unique answer for a wide range of products and formulations without success. From ten years of devoted R&D, CARINSA has launched CARINCAP®, a technology platform that integrates all the microencapsulation knowledge and technology developed by the company. CARINCAP® has closed the gap between added value ingredients and final consumer products. Increasing the compatibility and stability of the selected ingredients in formulations and introduce the appropriate delivery system is one of the strong points of our technology platform. With this line of research, CARINSA is developing high performance ingredients to take a competitive advantage in the next generation of Laundry, Home Care and Cosmetic Products.
Poster Language: English Category: Home Care / Cleaning Agents Consumers love to buy liquid detergents as they are easy to handle, sustainable and delivered in an innovative format. However, the success will only last if consumers expectations can be fulfilled. Especially for white or light laundry consumers expect brilliant results when it emerges from the washing machine – not faint traces of graying or soil stains. Graying caused by re-deposition of dissolved soils in the laundry is still a challenge. Liquid detergents neither do have a bleach system nor a strong builder system like powders does. Additionally, washing conditions have changed. The trend is going to low wash temperatures, shorter wash cycles and less water consumption. These habit changes lead to whiteness loss caused by graying especially with the use of liquid detergents. We present solutions which supports brilliant whiteness claims.
Poster Language: English Category: Home Care / Technology & Machinery The methods of dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering are the most common measurement techniques for size and stability analysis of particles in the nanometer range. Particle size and stability are important parameters for particle analysis as they have great impact on properties such as reactivity, dissolution rate, sedimentation, or viscosity. Besides dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering, the Litesizer series offers measurement modes for determing the molecular mass, the transmittance, and the refractive index.

Poster Language: English Category: Personal Care / Skin Care The J-Cosmetofood (J for Japan) is one of the rising trends in Europe. This is why Ichimaru Pharcos recently launched Wamino-Bonbon, a unique mixture of premium brand sake lees and molasses from highly refined sugar. Sake lees are white solid left-overs from the traditional method used to prepare sake. Wasanbon sugars are prepared using ancient extraction methods from sugarcanes grown in some specific areas in Japan. Wamino-Bonbon is very much in line the sustainable development trends in the sense that we recycle left-overs from drink and food preparation processes. The uniqueness of this synergetic mixture of two traditional materials lies in its composition which includes vitamins (such as the “beauty” vitamin B2), amino acids (glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine and arginine) and sugars. In an in-vivo test, a lotion containing 1% Wamino-Bonbon has displayed a significant improvement in skin moisturizing and skin texture density after just one week. After four weeks, we see a significant decrease in whole face dryness and an enhancement of overall skin conditions (including moisturizing). Hair bundles treated with a lotion containing 1% Wamino-Bonbon benefited from a significant increased moisture content. Finally, we observed important deodorizing effects on malodor substances such as ammonia and methyl mercaptan. Wamino-Bonbon (INCI name: Molasses, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Lees Extract) will enhance the effectiveness of most of your cosmetic products including facial and body cleansers and haircare formulae.
Poster Language: English Category: Personal Care / Skin Care The development of AlphaImprove Body is based on the synergistic effect of Pracaxi-Oil (Pentaclethra macroloba seed oil), Babaçu-Oil (Orbignya oleifera seed oil) and natural FSC-certified (-)-α –Bisabolol, obtained from the Brazilian Candeia tree. This innovative active compound is in line with the trend for 100% natural raw materials that are sustainably derived and show well documented efficacy data. AlphaImprove Body is rich in medium chain triglycerides like Lauric acid and Behenic acid. Another important ingredient is the natural Bisabolol, which is known for its excellent soothing properties. Stretch marks are visible signs in the subcutis, caused by excessive stretching of the tissue. They arise due to several factors, where the elastic fibers (collagen and elastin) in the subcutis are disrupted. This damage in the subcutis causes the reddish stretch marks which become lighter over time but remain visible as light scars. AlphaImprove Body helps in the healing process by stimulating the fibroblasts proliferation and the extracellular matrix and promoting skin elasticity and the reconstruction of the dermis. The efficacy of 5 % AlphaImprove Body was proven with 32 participants in a formulation used for 30 days. The stretch marks showed a statistically significant improvement in the amount of stretch marks and in the stretch texture using subjective Dermatological Clinical Efficacy and Image Analysis. No participant reported feelings of discomfort and no clinical signs were detected after use of the product, being that 90% of participants satisfied with the result of the product. AlphaImprove Body is suitable for all kind of skin care products to prevent stretch marks and improve the overall cutaneous regeneration process in many different applications. AlphaImprove Body is also recommended for natural cosmetics.
Poster Language: English Category: Personal Care / Skin Care DL Goji Prebiotic is an extract from Goji berries which is particularly rich in special glycans and peptidoglycans, which contribute to the regulation of microorganism flora on the skin. In addition, the extract shows remarkable effects in the area of the integrity of the extracellular matrix and antioxidant properties, which in addition to the skin surface effects, also achieve effects in deeper skin layers. Invasive Microorganisms like Staphylococcus aureus can significantly increase on the skin for various reasons and lead to irritation. There is also evidence that Staphylococcus aureus might be involved in attacking the natural skin barrier. About 25% of all people in Germany carry this germ on the skin. In risk groups, such as people who suffer from atopic dermatitis, the percentage is significantly higher. [1],[2] To reduce this germ on the skin one can use disinfectant preparations, or use natural ways to gently restore the skin microbiome. DL Goji Prebiotic showed that its natural ingredients are able to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus significantly in its reproduction, while endogenous species such as Staphylococcus epidermis are hardly affected. Regarding the additional depth effect, DL Goji Prebiotic convinces with its positive effects on the expression of laminins, glycoproteins which are a component of the extracellular matrix and produce connections between matrix and cells. In addition was found the reduction in the expression of MMP1, an enzyme which attacks components of the extracellular matrix (e.g. Type III collagen) and thus negatively affects its structural integrity. Antioxidant properties and the protection from UVA-induced increased formation of interleukin-8, a promoter of inflammatory effects, complete the spectrum of activity efficiently and interestingly. DL Goji Prebiotic works on and in the skin where it exerts its prebiotic effect on the skin surface, and its anti-aging properties in the skin.
Poster Language: English Category: Personal Care / Skin Care Managing body odor is typically achieved by three individual cosmetic technologies that can be used separately or in combination: anti-perspirants, odor masking and deodorant actives. Deodorant actives are typically based on an antimicrobial property of the active. The most common antimicrobial triclosan can be considered as an established benchmark. The Symrise Cosmetic Ingredients Division is a leader in modern non-organohalogen deodorant solutions offering the most versatile deodorant actives portfolio and state of the art technologies. Using Symrise deodorant actives as a stand alone technology, already provides up to 48 h hour odor protection. Latest research trials reveil new test results, showing how long lasting performance can be achieved without impacting the axillary microbiome. The presentation will demonstrate a comparison of different deodorant actives and their influence on the axillary microbiome.

Poster Language: English Category: Personal Care / Skin Care Skin sensitivity may be influenced by people’s physiological origin, environment and age. Having a sensitive skin is a serious concern for consumers who generally feel very negative due to direct effects on their skin beauty (itching, redness) and subsequently on their self-confidence. Sensityl™ is a patent-pending active cosmetic ingredient, originating from microalgae, which significantly reduces the sensitive skin feeling while positively influencing consumers’ mood, resulting in dual benefits on health and wellness. Sensityl™ is an exclusive extract of the Phaeodactylum Tricornotum microalgae, obtained through a sustainable cultivation process and a bio-guided fractionation. Through a demonstrated epigenetic regulation (miR21), Sensityl™ acts on reducing proinflammatory mediators (down to -26% of IL-8), reducing the immune cell recruitment (down to -33%), decreasing the pain sensation (TRPV1 receptors expression down to 18%), and protecting the skin antibacterial defences by increasing the release of βDefensin 2 up to +71%. Two different clinical studies on 62 volunteers have shown that Sensityl™ significantly reduces skin redness/irritation down to 18% and enables a significant improvement of the skin reactivity up to 2 times versus placebo. But Sensityl™ is going beyond. In a clinical test using two scientifically proven Neuroscience protocols (a nonverbal study called Mood Portraits® and an evaluation of unconscious emotions called Emotion Decoding System®), a correlation between skin sensitivity and consumers’ mood & emotions has been revealed. Impressively, the volunteers using Sensityl™ expressed a real positive change in how they felt about their facial skin moving from negative feelings to positive ones, versus the placebo group kept having negative feelings. In summary, Sensityl™ delivers: control of the inflamm'ageing process through epigenetic regulation, strong skin soothing properties, as well as uplifted consumers’ emotions.
Poster Language: English Category: Personal Care / Hair Care Chemical and thermal treatments of hair, sun exposure, pollution and daily care result in aggression to strand structure. Different products are available in the market concerning damaged hair repair and protection. It can be translated through different claims, such as shine, strength, integrity of the cuticles, conditioning, smothness and nourishing. Among the various ways of substantiating the claim of hair repair and protection, numerical claims are achieved by comparing a basic chassis treatment versus a full repairing routine. Among the products investigated in this work, a new synergistic composition of polyquaterniums and nonionic surfactants was shown to be effective throughout the hair care routine: shampoos, conditioners; comb cream and ampoule, but with noticeable results even in single applications. In order to investigate the repairing effect of this technology, the main attributes, such as shine, protein loss, resistance to breakage, combability and smoothness for damaged hair were teste. Such technology act as a repair conditioning booster, avoiding an overload of cationic surfactants and silicones. Since damaged hair is more susceptible and fragile, the technology also helps avoiding pronounced protein loss, contributing for hair strength. The reduction in protein loss is an underexplored attribute that reflects hair health and prevent future damages. It was possible to measure the degree of damage by Lowry's colorimetric method, obtaining a 63% reduction of protein loss in comparison with control, surpassing the commercial benchmarck tested, with 95% statistical significance. Improvements were also found in the wet combability force, which presented 46% reduction in comparison with control. Repair and protection was also investigated by other instrumental tecquiniques. Seen in these terms, cosmetic formulations containing specialties can act repairing the fiber and recovering the properties a healthy hair had.

Poster Language: English Category: Personal Care / Skin Care Skin aging is associated with a loss of skin moisture and dermal matrix degradation. Hyaluronic acid (HA), a glycosaminoglycan with a unique capacity to bind and retain water molecules in the skin, has a key role in skin moisture retention and smooth appearance. Dermal matrix synthesis can be stimulated by hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid in combination with inhibitors of hyaluronidases enzymes responsible for HA degradation, such as Kaempferol (a flavonoid contained in numerous edible plants as apples, grapes, tomatoes, green tea, broccoli etc.). Penetration through the skin of these molecules is severely limited by the impermeability of the stratum corneum. This limitation can be overcome by their encapsulation into special vesicular skin delivery system with elastic properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-wrinkle efficacy of topical application of these two molecules encapsulated into ultra-deformable niosome vesicles at 8,0% and 0,5% respectively (NIO-HA). A total of twenty-two subjects between 22 and 60 years of age with clinical signs of wrinkles applied the formulation containing 2% NIO-HA on the face twice-daily. NIO-HA treatments demonstrated a significant improvement in skin appearance when compared to placebo. Visia complexion analysis shows an improvement in wrinkle score of -53,5% and a reduction of wrinkle number by -31,76% in 14 days. Measurement of skin dermal density and skin elasticity by dermascan equipped with ultrasound device at 20Mhz, shows an improvement of 54,2% and 17% in 28 days, respectively. This study demonstrated the beneficial effect of topical application of a formulation of hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and kaempferol encapsulated into ultra-deformable niosome vesicles, which led to a significant improvement in wrinkle depth and a younger skin appearance.

Poster Language: English Category: Personal Care / Sun Care Tanning is a natural defense mechanism, characterized by melanin synthesis, that gives a healthy and good looking appearance. A nice summer tan is associated with a healthy and glowing complexion. However, an extended exposure to UV rays induces a cascade of cytokines and neuroactive mediator production at skin level, resulting in inflammatory responses and generating premature aging. Aware of this issue, GREENTECH introduces EPSILINE® allowing to activate tanning and thus induce melanin production – the first defense first line of skin protection against environmental damages. The new Marine Melanin Booster and Tan Maximizer EPSILINE® preserves the tan and pampers the skin with soothing hydration. It prolongs the holiday tan by up to 1week (further results expected prior to SEPAWA . GREENTECH and it´s subsidiary GREENSEA identified the microalga Porphyridium cruentum, a red alga living in Thau lagoon, able to live in a hostile environment and known for its anti-inflammatory, UV-protective and anti-aging properties. To survive, it excretes complex matrices made of sulfated polysaccharides. In order to bring these interesting self-defense mechanisms to the cosmetic industry, GREENTECH transcribed these activities at a skin level through a double approach: Optimization of the culture conditions for an optimal production. And hydrolysis to obtain the effective fraction: EPSILINE®. EPSILINE® prepares the skin to the sun, activates tanning and extends its effects. It focuses on melanogenesis main pathways with and without UV exposure, increasing the melanin synthesis and transport to the skin surface. EPSILINE® provides a good-looking effect and improves the moisturization. EPSILINE® thus ensures a sunkissed complexion throughout the summer and makes it last. EPSILINE® was specially developed for formulations supposed either prepare the skin for an upcoming Sun Exposure or to instantly hydrate and prolong a beautiful holiday tan.
Poster Language: English Category: Personal Care / Hair Care The deposition of oil drops on solid substrates from mixed solutions of C14 or C16 sulfonated methyl esters (SME) with cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) together with cationic polymer (guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride) were investigated. This mixed solution was compared against combination of sodium laurylethersulfate (SLES), cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) with cationic polymer, a typical combination used in shampoo formulations. Pressed drop method (PDM) is used to study the drop adhesion of solution to solid substrate of different hydrophobicity; to mimic different condition of hair. Results showed that C16 SME showed easier drop adhesion than C14 SME follow by SLES, being the poor among 3 anionic surfactants. This study shows the promising potential of SME in application of shampoo; to enhance the adhesion of cationic polymer on various hair condition compared to SLES. On the other hand, better adhesion of cationic polymer shed light on reduce cationic polymer in formulation since the effective dosage of cationic polymer is enhance with the presence of SME in the formulation.
