At the latest edition of ln-Cosmetics Paris, ID bio introduced its partners to Sens'flower, a soothing active ingredient offering a global approach to sensitive skin.

Sens'flower
In response to the problem of sensitive skin which, according to a recent study, affects 6 8% of the world's population (men and women combined) ID bio has developed a soothing active ingredient created from saffron flowers via a specific technological process. Sens'flower acts effectively on the main skin irritations characteristic of reactive and hyper-sensitive skin. Complementary biological targets have been analyzed using their respective markers in in vitro studies.
Sens'flower offers a broad field of action via synergistic pathways:

  • Reinforces the skin barrier and stimulates the NMF
  • Controlling the pro-inflammatory response and associated skin signals
  • Reduced skin discomfort
  • Redness reduction

The results were supplemented by clinical tests on panellists, to validate the beneficial action of the active ingredient on sensitive skin:

  • Redness spot reduction: up to -8 % after just 28 days
  • Reduction in the surface area of red zones

A self-assessment study was also carried out.

Focus on the French industry
ID bio has set up several local supply chains with secure French sourcing from a number of organic and sustainable saffron producers, notably based in the Limousin region. The use of flowers makes it possible to exploit a co-product of saffron cultivation that is currently unused. Indeed, only the plant's stigmas are used to produce the spice for the food industry, and the flowers, despite their explosive molecular potential, have not been used until now. The creation of this network of partners makes it possible to offer a new and complementary outlet to growers, and to ensure short sourcing circuits for this delicate, fragile and ephemeral raw material, harvested with particular care over 2 to 4 weeks towards the end of October.

A solution for formulators
Sens'flower is dedicated to formulators working on the creation of ultra-gentle, skin-friendly formulas. Thanks to this active ingredient, created from a fine, delicate and ephemeral flower, they benefit from a differentiating approach that enables them to respond effectively to the initial brief, while at the same time providing an answer to consumers increasingly prone to skin hypersensitivity. This active ingredient is easy to formulate and can be incorporated into complete face care formulas, eye contour products and masks, as well as functional make-up products.

Indispensable for beauty in Asian countries, the impregnated mask is becoming a must-have for all cosmetics brands in Europe. To meet this growing demand, which requires substantial investment and highly specific technology, Lessonia has invested in the manufacture and packaging of impregnated face and eye masks.

At its Saint Thonan site (near Brest), Lessonia is the only European company with the expertise to :

  • Product design
  • Mastering the regulatory file
  • Making serums or lotions
  • Customize packaging
  • Local conditioning of masks

Lessonia offers 4 types of media to meet different market needs:

  • Lyocell: ideal for impregnating large quantities of active ingredients
  • Non-woven cotton: a very soft medium offering a very competitive price range
  • Black Oak Detox: porous, anti-pollution support for absorbing impurities. Ideal for purifying skin care
  • Bio-cellulose: a material very popular in Asia that behaves like a second skin.

Lessonia has taken advantage of the latest technological innovations in cosmetology to produce serums and lotions for impregnation, without the addition of preservatives. This is a real asset for this type of product. Indeed, because of the large quantities of product applied to the face, redness or itching may be noted in connection with preservatives.
To get things moving quickly, Lessonia offers a range of 4 serums: anti-aging, moisturizing, brightening and eye contour. All customers have to do is personalize their packaging and finalize the regulatory file with the help of the company.

Strand Cosmetics Europe offers the possibility of creating a fully customized tinted cream - shade, effect, texture - by adding 2 activating serums to its daily skincare base.

This revolutionary new concept guarantees a made-to-measure complexion with a precise, natural, luminous finish.

The strength of the concept lies in the fact that consumers can create their own tinted cream, in total harmony with their skin tone. This involves adding the complexion-activating serum to the daily skincare base, followed by the light-activating serum, depending on the desired effect. This pearly-white fluid emulsion gives a satin finish, very K-Beauty! To accompany the 2 activating serums and for ultimate personalization, Strand Cosmetics Europe has selected 3 bases with very different textures:

  • Revival Cream: firm and creamy, this cream combines well-being and high technology. HYAL-X3 Complex and red algae extract plump and rehydrate the epidermis, and improve skin architecture.
  • L'Protectionist: this velvety, evanescent oil-in-water emulsion has been formulated for delicate, dehydrated skin. Non-greasy, it penetrates quickly, softening, moisturizing and soothing the epidermis.
  • Rose Hydra Jelly: this watery jelly coats the skin in a soft, fresh film, thanks to distilled rose water and white rose extract. Neither sticky nor greasy, it keeps skin deeply moisturized.

Flour - Farine du Manitoba

Since the implementation of the Atex Directive on explosive atmospheres (gas or dust), manufacturers have become accustomed to systematically classifying their operating zones according to risk (zone 22 or 21 for the powder zone), and to supplying the appropriate equipment in terms of Atex (category 2D or 3D for powders).

Atex classification within the process is also the responsibility of the operator, on the advice of suppliers. Within the process, given the permanent pressure of the powders, it is not uncommon for the Atex risk to be permanent (zone 20 classification).

In order to be able to respond to the most unfavorable environments in terms of Atex powder, Gericke, in collaboration with certified organizations, is able to offer its entire range of equipment (pneumatic conveyors, mixers, dosers, sifters, deagglomerators, sluices, filters, etc.) with internal Atex 1D certification (for zone 20).

Under the Atex (powders) Directive, only equipment categorized as 1D requires certification and inspection by an authorized body.

Gericke manufactures complete dosing, conveying and mixing systems. Industrial-scale trials can be carried out in our pilot stations using all our equipment.

Luxuriant - Animal testing
Scientists and activists from all over the world are invited to apply for the annual Lush Prize, which has already raised over 1 million euros in previous years to support actions against animal testing.

With a prize at stake of £250,000 (approx. €315,000), the Lush Prize, the fruit of collaboration between Lush and the Ethical Consumer Research association, is the world's largest fund rewarding actions taken to combat scientific testing on animals. 55 projects from 22 countries have already benefited from the support of this prize: animal protection organizations from all over the world, from Taiwan and Russia to Sweden with the Karolinska Institute and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in France. Entries for the Lush Prize 2016 will open on Monday April 25, one day after World Laboratory Animal Day.

The Lush Prize is divided into 5 distinct categories: Science, Education, Young Researchers, Lobbying and Public Awareness - all working to find alternatives to end scientific testing on animals, but also to raise awareness of this global issue.
Last year, a sixth category, the Black Box Prize, was introduced to reward pioneering work in mapping "human chains of toxicity". Thanks to their research buy priligyFor the first time ever, these scientists have shed light at the molecular level on the toxicity of a chemical when absorbed by cells, and the resulting reactions in the human body. The winners of the Black Box Prize exceptionally received the full £250,000 (€315,000) initially up for grabs. Lush then decided to add a further £200,000 (€251,000) for the winners of the other categories, bringing the overall Prize to £450,000 (approx. €637,456) for this unique 4th edition. The latest edition also rewarded 19 young researchers from 9 countries. Each received £10,000 (€12,500) to encourage them to continue their research work in this field. This year, the judges are particularly keen to reach young researchers from Asia and America, where there is a real lack of support for projects against animal testing.

Seppic wins the "Green Ingredient" Gold Award at in-cosmetics 2016, for Ephemer, an active ingredient derived from Celebrity, the technological innovation in macroalgal cell culture. This prize is awarded by a jury of cosmetics experts. It rewards an ingredient that has had a significant impact on preserving the environment and has been in use for over a year in cosmetics applications.

Ephemer is an extract of gametophytes, macroalgal cells cultivated in the laboratory at an ephemeral stage in the alga's life cycle. Undaria Pinnatifida. During this stage, macro-algae cells are known to contain more anti-oxidant molecules. This active ingredient helps protect the skin by boosting its antioxidant capacity, thus slowing the formation of free radicals responsible for aging.

The technology based on in-vitro cultivation enables Seppic to limit the harvesting of marine resources for the production of the Ephemer active ingredient. This award illustrates the company's commitment to developing responsible innovation over the long term.

Guénolé Le Calvez, Director of BiotechMarine, the Seppic subsidiary from which the innovation originated, commented: " This award is a source of pride for Seppic and BiotechMarine, and illustrates the boldness and creativity shown by our research teams in coming up with this unique innovation, which offers major prospects for new responsible active ingredients..

Seppic presents the new Sepiplus S. A recent study has shown that in addition to its concentrated form, Sepiplus S is ultra-flexible in terms of how it is introduced into formulations.

Multifunctional (thickener, stabilizer and texturizer) and environmentally friendly, it now becomes the most versatile liquid and concentrated polymer!
Sepiplus S is a liquid, pre-neutralized, ready-to-use polymer for cold formulation. The new study shows that it can be incorporated at any time in the process: before, during or after emulsification and even be added to an already formed cold emulsion! It ensures a perfect stability and an identical viscosity whatever the mode of introduction. It is the essential ingredient for the formulator to adjust the final viscosity or to "catch up" a formula!

Sepiplus S ensures a good compromise between technical performance and respect for the environment, as it is produced using the "Latex Inverse Technology" manufacturing process.
low energy consumption. In concentrated form, it reduces water transport compared to standard (non-concentrated) grades and uses less energy to manufacture than precipitated powder polymers.
