PROGRAMME:

Stop ‘skin inflammaging’ with a 100% natural multifunctional bioactive (Bitop)

Inflammaging has recently emerged as a pathway that correlates aging and age-related diseases with inflammation. In 2015, the World Health Organization World Report on Ageing and Health highlighted an urgent requirement for healthy ageing strategies.

Inflammaging refers to a progressive increase in chronic low-level inflammation that occurs naturally in the body as we get older. The main feature of the ageing process is a chronic progressive increase in the proinflammatory status, that was originally termed as “inflamm-aging”. The term “inflamm-aging” was first named by Franceschi et al. in 2000, and it is a new addition to the types of ageing studies. Skin-specific symptoms of chronic inflammation include wrinkles and crow’s feet, uneven tone and texture, and a slowdown of cells’ self-healing functions.

This seminar throws light upon the scientific process associated with inflammaging, the main causes of inflammaging and provides a ‘one-stop solution to inflammaging’ and the associated concerns.

Antimicrobial product stabilisation by natural humectants (Cosphatec)

Cosphaderm® Absolute is a blend of three established humectant actives in optimally aligned concentrations.

Using Cosphaderm® Absolute helps to hydrate the skin and improve the skin’s barrier function while reducing the water activity of a formulation.

The lower the water activity of a formulation, the less antimicrobials need to be used for preservation.

The never-ending quest for refined skin structure and even skin complexion (CLR)

One of our biggest challenges is to develop products which lead to refined skin structure and even coloration. Zooming out, we come to the recognition of the importance conspicuous pores as a main consumer concern. Astringents, however, have now shown to not be good enough.

Consumers need a real solution to their problem: products which act on all relevant biological pathways in the skin which lead to conspicuous and unsightly pores. Pore size is one aspect to address, but it essential to also take colour contrast between the pore and its surrounding, into consideration. Only with a holistic yet clearly goal-oriented approach, conspicuous pores can be reduced.

CLR Berlin developed CutiFine CLR, which was proven in both in vitro and placebo-controlled in vivo studies to perceivably reduce conspicuous pores. This presentation will address these studies, but also the importance of conspicuous pores for the consumer and the cosmetic industry.

• Skincare’s biggest challenge: Refined skin and even complexion
• One of the main consumer concerns: Conspicuous and unsightly pores
• Demand for holistic, but goal-oriented approaches for perceivable effects
• The key: Addressing pore size and colour contrast of pores

Poptide, is a cyclic peptide that modulates skintropy, the chaos present in our skin caused by aging and external factors. Aging is the main reason for endoplasmatic reticulum stress and chaperones’ decrease, thus the appearance of misfolded proteins.

Poptide proved to minimize misfolded proteins by increasing the main chaperones of ER, and so the unfolded Protein Response. This results in breaking the Wrinkles Daily Cycle (evening wrinkles are more pronounced than morning ones), where Poptide is able to improve its appearance cycle by cycle.

Claims:

• Modulating skintropy
• Refolding proteins

Maximizing the strengths of natural ingredients through traditional technology.

Presented by: Junko Iesaki, Cosmetic Marketing & Sales Division, Koken

“SHONAI BIJIN” is a rice fermented extract (Sake) made from Junmai-shu (pure rice sake), and is brewed by the traditional sake manufacturing method, known as “Kimoto-zukuri (brewing)” without adding lactic acid, but taking full advantage of nature. The fermentation process yields various amino acids, such as D-amino acids, αEG and organic acids, and may further enhance the skin barrier function.

In this webinar, we’ll delve further into the sake brewing process and showcase “KOHAKUYUKI-Sake Lees Aging Fermented Extract”, which is made from Sake Lees (Sake Kasu) fermented at low temperature for more than 1,000 hours. This contains large amounts of amino and organic acids, as well as kojic acid, which has a brightening effect, and ferulic acid, which has an antioxidant component. All essential in reversing signs of aging and promoting cellular repair.

The antibacterial/antiviral activity and skin barrier function-reinforcing effect of GO-VC for skin roughness after using alcohol-based hand sanitizers.

Presented by: Yui Oshida, Supervisor of Sales Department, ITO

GO-VC is a highly stable amphiphilic ascorbic acid derivative where glycerine and octanol are introduced to ascorbic acid, and has been confirmed to have antibacterial and antiviral activities.Therefore, the addition of GO-VC to the alcohol-based hand sanitizers is considered to lead to the enhancement of the antibacterial and antiviral activities.

Furthermore, GO-VC could reinforce the skin barrier function through the up-regulation of tight junctions, resulting in the suppression of skin dryness. This makes GO-VC is suitable for the care of skin roughness and dryness after using alcohol-based hand sanitizers.

In addition, GO-VC has been confirmed of clinical effects on the spots, wrinkles, and acne by dermatologists and their action mechanism, and is also recommended to add to cosmetic products for anti-aging. In this seminar, we will introduce the various effects of GO-VC on the skin in detail.

Scent’aging, does aging have a smell?

Presented by: Marco J. Klein, PhD, business Development Manager – APAC & Germany, Lipotrue

People’s scent is relatively important in human social interaction. Each one of us has an odour-print, just like a fingerprint, which is our own and unique personal scent, a combination of odours from the different parts of the body (e.g. skin, head, armpit, feet). Perfumes and personal care products can enhance, mask, or alter this. As we age, our odour-print evolves and not only due to changes in eating or hygiene habits, but specifically because of aging, what is called Scent’aging. LipoTrue presents N_llscent, an active ingredient tackling Scent’aging to bring back the purity of your natural essence.

When the encapsulation of cosmetic ingredients trend originated, two words were most frequently used to describe its benefits: sustainable and effective.

Ceramide capsules were invented in 1990 but soon put aside due to consumers’ growing concern for environmental protection. Lately, we’ve been witnessing a shift in the use of “beauty capsules” with the implementation of naturally-derived, biodegradable casings, now transforming the market and allowing brands to uncover the full potential of encapsulated ingredients while being eco-friendly.

Now, “Korean Personal Care Encapsulating Materials Market was valued at $25,268 thousand in 2016 and is expected to reach $59,880 thousand by 2023, registering a CAGR of 10.9% during the forecast period”, according to the Allied Market Research. And colour cosmetics are projected to be the top investment in the personal care market in Korea due to its high rising demand.

The benefits of encapsulating active ingredients do not stop at eco-friendly claims. Besides allowing for deeper reach into the epidermis where special delivery systems would be required otherwise, the encapsulation can also fix instability issues as the active travels from the product to its human target and much more.

“The encapsulation of active ingredients prevents incompatibility between different materials or protects an active ingredient by its complete separation from the environment. For example, vitamins, polyphenols and flavonoids are protected against oxidative influences”, wrote the cosmetic news source cosmeticsbusiness.com.

Optimising efficiency is the main selling point for encapsulation as it concentrates the potency of the ingredient and removes the need for components that would minimize their strength, like fillers or stabilizers

Sustainable, cost-effective and powerful! Who doesn’t want a formulation working at full capacity? Join this 30-minute webinar session to see how easy it is to formulate with hard spheres and encapsulated soft pearls for skincare, personal care and make-up.
