LANXESS Distribution LANXESS Distribution highlighted PUROLAN Glucan, a natural active based on yeast that supports the skin structure and the dermal immune system but requires chemical modification to improve water solubility. Thanks to innovative processes, it can now be easily incorporated into cosmetic formulations as a 5% aqueous dispersion, without chemical modification. As an additional advantage, it comes with NATRUE certification. PUROLAN Glucan is an effective active for skin care, in particular anti-aging formulations and sunscreen products. In hair care, it improves tensile strength and gloss. Lubrizol Carbopol Aqua SF-1 OS Polymer is a new acrylates copolymer grade targeting pigmented formulations used in skin care, sun care and color cosmetic applications. Carbopol Aqua SF-1 OS polymer enables formulators to achieve excellent emulsion stability and desired aesthetic properties in challenging systems containing pigments and electrolytes at levels required to deliver efficacy. The resulting formulas offer the user better protection and even tone in sun care, skin-perfecting and color cosmetic products. Penreco Penreco introduced the latest product in its Versagel Product line: Versagel MG. The Versagel MG series offers a silicone alternative for formulating personal care products when a silky, elegant after-feel is desired. Versagel MG comes in three viscosity grades: Versagel MG 500T, Versagel MG 750T and Versagel MG 1600T, and is suitable for a variety of applications, from lotions to lipgloss, shower moisturizers, lipsticks and hair care products. Sederma Croda Inc.’s Sederma division shared how the company is leveraging its expansive testing capabilities with newly-acquired plant cell technology to uncover and harness cosmetic benefits from nature. Sonia Dawson, Marketing Manager– Botanicals, explained how Sederma’s recent acquisition of Istituto di Ricerche Biotecnologiche (IRB) has given the company access to technology that is allowing for the select amplification of new active ingredients from nature. Sederma illustrated the capabilities of IRB’s sustainable plant cell technology with examples of two skin care actives launched after the IRB acquisition. Senestem is the first cosmetic anti-aging ingredient shown to manage micro-RNA to visibly reduce the characteristic signs of skin senescence, according to Sederma. Testing showed significant visible improvement in the skin’s viscoelastic properties, such as firmness, elasticity and smoothness, and age spot brightening after only one month of use. Sebuless is an all-in-one solution for oily skin that addresses key underlying causes of sebum overproduction and associated blemishes. The company explained that Sebuless is the first cosmetic ingredient tested using a novel predictive model with normal human sebocytes, which allowed elucidation of these major factors as well as a distinct path to mitigate their effects.
