Croda International Plc, which creates, manufactures and distributes specialty chemicals, has announced the opening of two state-of-the-art laboratories in France and Singapore, specializing respectively in textures and sensorialities for its global Personal Care business. The investment in these two facilities will enable Croda to offer new ideas and additional technical support at the request of its customers, while reinforcing its leading position in the development of innovation and formulation science.
The Texture Science Innovation Center, located at Sederma's subsidiary in Le Perray en Yvelines, France, will focus on creating new textures through ingredient knowledge and innovative combinations. The laboratory is strategically located at Sederma, known for its high-performance actives and technologies for the cosmetics industry, giving it a direct connection not only to these specialty ingredients, but also to the latest French trends in advanced texture formulation. This combination offers a unique advantage to Croda's customers in terms of both quality ingredients and formulation development.

The innovation center for sensory science, located at Croda's Singapore offices, will enable the company to continue its study of sensory trends in cosmetics, which are very important in Asia, while prioritizing its existing sensory portfolio and promoting knowledge and innovation in this field. Trends such as K-Beauty and J-Beauty constantly challenge global markets to stimulate the senses, so a laboratory of this caliber is ideally suited to the region. Through a data-driven decision-making process, Croda will enable its teams to push the boundaries, imagining a world of limitless sensory possibilities to deliver an exceptional consumer experience.

Richard Butler, Global Head of Croda Personal Care's Beauty Formulation Division, commented: "We are delighted to be opening these two state-of-the-art facilities, and are confident that they will provide excellent opportunities for increased customer engagement and collaborative project development. What's more, these laboratories will make a unique contribution to the creation of innovative products while meeting the ever-changing needs of businesses worldwide. By optimizing both texture and sensoriality, we will meet the growing demand for inventive technologies in Personal Care".

The official opening of these two Croda laboratories extends the company's already extensive global laboratory network, enabling it to offer consolidated formulation expertise to its customers and the market in general.

Clarins, first partner of Plastic Odyssey Expedition

Clarins - Cosmetics Industry

They have supported the project from the outset. Today, they are pioneering partners of Plastic Odyssey. The Clarins brand, backed by the Clarins Group, has become an official partner of the expedition against ocean plastic pollution.

It was in 2017, thanks to Roland Jourdain, a great sailor who gathers around him the "doers" as he calls them, that the first meeting took place. Christian Courtin-Clarins has supported the Explore fund since its creation, which brings together tomorrow's explorers around Roland Jourdain and Sophie Varceletto, its two founders. "All the lands have been discovered, all the seas have been explored. But there's still one species out there discovering the future: new ways of living, eating and protecting our planet. This species is the New Explorers! explains Roland Jourdain.
The Explore Fund supports the development of numerous projects, including several expeditions: Under The Pole, Nomade des Mers and Plastic Odyssey.

Christian Courtin-Clarins was seduced by the vision of the Plastic Odyssey association while the project was still on paper, and decided to bring his group on board. As the association's first sponsor, he was instrumental in bringing the project to fruition: the creation of a demonstration vessel capable of converting plastic into fuel.
A year and a half later, the round-the-world expedition was taking shape, and it was only natural that Clarins should come on board. An "Official" partnership was signed for a 5-year period.

Clarins and Plastic Odyssey, a strong shared vision: respect for Nature and People

Christian Courtin Clarins has pioneered important environmental changes within the Group. Shocked by marine pollution while sailing in Asia, he took the pioneering decision in 1999 to ban plastic bags from all his sales outlets. Since then, our products have been designed to have as little impact as possible on the environment. Plants, an essential component of the products manufactured by the group, are grown using organic methods - respectful of the soil - and fair trade - respectful of people. This economic activity enables the development of essential infrastructures such as schools and health centers.

As a world-renowned group in the beauty sector, Clarins, alongside Plastic Odyssey, wishes to develop and promote a circular economy, more respectful of nature, to initiate sustainable change throughout the world.

Plastic Odyssey Expedition at a glance : 

Plastic Odyssey is a round-the-world expedition to reduce plastic pollution in the ocean and fight poverty.
The team's mission is to reduce plastic pollution in the ocean and poverty worldwide. To achieve this, Plastic Odyssey is developing low-tech and open-source solutions to either transform plastic waste into resources on a local scale, or limit plastic consumption in our society. In 2020, Plastic Odyssey will set off on a 3-year round-the-world expedition to promote the reduction and recycling of plastic waste on a boat that uses energy from plastic to propel itself forward. This world first is made possible by an innovative technology called plastic fuel or pyrolysis. Plastic Odyssey will sail along some of our planet's most polluted coasts (Africa, South America, South-East Asia), setting up small recycling plants at each port of call that can be adapted to meet specific needs. At the same time, the team will develop and experiment on board with alternatives to plastic and zero-waste solutions for a better future.

Greentech : rich news at In Cosmetics

Skin - Exfoliation

Greentech presented two innovations at the latest In Cosmetics Global trade show.

Expozen: anti-exposome

An active ingredient for all sensitive skin and daily care, especially in urban environments.
Drawing its effectiveness from a seaweed living in the depths of the Indian Ocean, rich in polysaccharides and phycocolloids, ExpoZen protects sensitive skin from the deleterious effects of the exposome, thanks to its exceptional soothing benefits. At a time when 50% of women in Europe, the USA and Japan claim to have sensitive skin, effective protection against the exposome is a major challenge.

Effects :
-Limits inflammation and neurogenic inflammation (up to -43% of inflammation markers)
-Reduces erythrosis (-15%)
-Reinforces the skin barrier (+12%)
-Reduces symptoms of sensitive skin: less redness, less tightness and heat, more comfort (90% of women) 

 Epsiline: Melanine booster 

Derived from the marine resources of a red algae capable of living in a hostile environment thanks to its sulfate polysaccharides, Epsiline boosts melanin synthesis.
While tanning is a natural defense system, excessive exposure to the sun triggers a cascade of inflammatory reactions and premature aging of the skin.
Greentech has therefore developed an active ingredient that prepares the skin for sun exposure by stimulating the melanogenesis process without UV exposure.

Effects :
- Activates melanin synthesis
- Enhances its transfer (+45%) to keratinocytes
- UV treatment preserves tissue integrity by acting on key cellular factors.
– Maintains a tanned complexion even after several days without sun exposure, and a radiant healthy glow all year round.

These two innovations were accompanied by new results fromHebelys, the first active ingredient to boost self-esteem and overall mood. Its development is based on a highly innovative psychophysiological approach to cosmetics. It maintains the beauty of mature skin by diminishing the effects of ageing and enabling you to feel better in your skin and your head.

Finally, four new plants have been added to the Aquasiloils family, our water-soluble oils combining vegetable oils and lysine.

China gives green light to new animal-free cosmetics tests

The Chinese government has approved two non-animal methods for testing cosmetic products in China. The two newly approved tests are the direct peptide reaction test to measure skin sensitization, and the short-term exposure test to analyze eye irritation potential.
This breakthrough is the result of groundbreaking work by scientific experts and regulatory specialists from Institute for In Vitro Sciences (Institute for In Vitro Sciences, or IIVS), with which PETA provided initial funding to train Chinese scientists and managers in modern non-animal methods.

"The acceptance of these two modern, ethical tests is a huge step forward for China," says Kathy Guillermo, vice president of PETA USA. "No animal should be poisoned or blinded for a consumer product - or for any other reason."

In 2012, PETA USA revealed that some companies, previously not using animal testing, had quietly begun paying the Chinese government to test their products on animals in order to be able to sell them in that country. At the time, animal testing was required by law for all cosmetics sold in China. PETA USA immediately contacted the leading experts in the field of non-animal testing methods at IIVS and provided them with the initial grant to launch their work in China. IIVS scientists successfully collaborated with Chinese authorities to get the first animal-free testing method approved, phototoxicity test in vitro 3T3 NRU (neutral red fixation)used to test the potential toxicity of cosmetic products when they come into contact with sunlight.

In 2014, the Chinese government announced that it would accept the results of non-animal testing methods, but only for special-use cosmetics manufactured in China. Animal testing is still required for all imported cosmetics and special-use cosmetics, regardless of where they are manufactured.

The Beauty Without Bunnies database PETA USA currently lists over 3,800 companies that have made the compassionate choice by committing not to test on animals anywhere in the world.
PETA, whose motto states that "animals do not belong to us and [that] we do not have to use them for our experiments", is opposed to speciesism, an ideology that postulates the superiority of humans over other animals in order to justify treating them as if they were mere commodities.
