incos-Asia_Cosmetic-Conference - speaker

In-cosmetics Asia has announced the launch of The Cosmetic Conference, in association with the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Scientists (IFSCC) and sponsored by dsm-firmenich. The event, which is free to attend, features a program of technical and scientific conferences, led by experts from L'Oréal, Shiseido, A*Star Skin Research Labs, Formulae 8 and Shieling Laboratories. For two days (November 5-6, 2024), scientists and R&D experts from a variety of disciplines will gather at in-cosmetics Asia, to be held in Bangkok from November 5-7, 2024. 

Against the backdrop of a booming beauty and personal care market in Asia-Pacific, which is expected to reach $253.10 billion in sales this year, the conference program will focus on trends in cosmetic science addressing several themes such as the microbiome, pigmentation or the power of beauty for aging skin, elevating in-cosmetics Asia's educational offering according to event organizers.

Six leading experts from all over the world will be present. What's more, with over 650 exhibitors from different regions, in-cosmetics Asia 2024 will be the biggest edition since the show's inception, underlining its truly international appeal and importance.

Make way for artificial intelligence (AI)

As AI and virtual reality become an integral part of the beauty industry, the Cosmetic Conference will explore the impact of artificial intelligence on the cosmetics market, valued at $3.22 billion in 2022 and expected to reach $15.75 billion by 2031.

To bring these predictions to life, industry expert Perry Romanowski, IFSCC Education Chair and Vice President of Element 44 INC, will discuss how AI is reshaping cosmetics formulation during the opening session. In his talk "The future of beauty: how AI will affect cosmetic chemists and formulation", he will explain how AI is being used to underpin marketing pitches and influence ingredient research and formulation processes.

He will examine the latest advances in hair care, exploring product innovation through historical examples and modern techniques during the session "Hair care formulations - is innovation still possible?" on the second day of the conference.

Quality of life

Tomo Osawa, Director of Shiseido's Asia-Pacific Regional Innovation Center, will share his insights on "The Power of Beauty" - the well-being of the elderly." With Japan home to the largest number of elderly people in the world, Asian countries will also see aging accelerate in the future. In this presentation, Tomo Osawa will highlight the impact of beauty on the physical and mental functions of aging populations.

In his other presentation on "The effect of the 'power of beauty' - the well-being of people with skin problems", Tomo Osawa will present the influence of the power of beauty on the well-being of people with deep-seated skin problems.

Facts outweigh fiction

With misinformation and distorted reality on social media, a key theme of the conference will be to help formulators identify false information.

Danilo Lambino, founder and director of Formulae 8 Pty Ltd, as well as inventor, cosmetics formulator, visual artist and beauty technology entrepreneur, will give a two-part presentation under the theme "Making smart ingredient choices for new product development."

In the first part, he will delve into the importance of choosing the right ingredients, emphasizing the need for accurate and reliable ingredient information. In the second part, the emphasis will be on the importance of fact-checking and verification as essential tools for making informed and intelligent ingredient choices.

The magic of the microbiome

According to the Skin Microbiome in Healthy Ageing (SMiHA) network3In the UK, around 50 % of the population suffer each year from skin conditions associated with the microbiome, such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea or acne. The microbiome and its role in skin barrier function and health will be at the heart of the debates.

Tarun Chopra, Director of Advanced Research at L'Oréal Singapore, will lead sessions on "Microbiome sciences: from knowledge to effective dermo-cosmetic solutions" and "Understanding and managing skin tone and pigment disorders."

For his part, Dr Thomas Dawson, Deputy Executive Director of A*Star Skin Research Labs, will lead a masterclass on "Microbe/host interaction on human skin: the importance of lipids in skin health."

Dr Romun Leaovitavat, consultant in dermatology and medicine, will lead a discussion on "Unveiling the essence of skin aging: morphology, skin barrier and function." This session will introduce conference participants to the underlying cellular characteristics of skin aging and the cutaneous phenotype associated with senescence, and provide delegates with a clear understanding of how to combat aging.

Sun protection factor (SPF)

Suncare products remain a hot category in the beauty and personal care sector, with the global value of suncare products expected to grow by 4 % per year to 2028. Stimulated by the growing popularity of outdoor activities and heightened awareness of the risks associated with UVA and UVB rays, sunscreen brands are innovating to cater to specific markets. For example, the Chinese sunscreen market is expanding rapidly, outstripping overall growth in the beauty sector. Brands are responding with alcohol-free and sensitive-skin options, as well as products that offer blue-light protection and integrated skincare benefits.

Oliver Hofmann, Official Technical Advisor, in-cosmetics Asia and Technical Director, Shieling Laboratories, will present a session on this topic: "What is SPF, how does it work and are there other elements to consider for effective protection?" He will present key ideas on how to achieve adequate protection without simply looking for high SPF figures.

Commenting on the event, IFSCC Presidium member Robert McPherson said: "The collaboration between in-cosmetics Asia and the Cosmetic Conference makes perfect sense, as we complement each other perfectly. With over 16,000 members worldwide, IFSCC is dedicated to advancing cosmetics research and promoting innovation.

Sisley-Neurae

Quadpack has designed maple caps and rings, as well as perfume roll-on caps for Neuraé, Sisley's neurocosmetics brand.

Neuraé, Sisley's new brand, connects skincare with well-being thanks to formulas composed of at least 95 % of ingredients of natural origin. 

The brand offers "solutions for dull, tired or taut skin, affected by our emotional state." A tribute to positive emotions, it focuses on joy, energy and serenity through a three-step routine. The collection is packaged in glass bottles and jars, adorned with maple wood caps and rings designed by Quadpack, the international manufacturer and supplier of beauty packaging and the originator of roll-on caps.

The Neuraé range includes a serum called "Harmonie", face creams called "Joy", "Energy" and "Serenity", and "Boosters d'Émotions" roll-on fragrances to amplify the effects.  

The brand was clear about its objectives for the containers: "we aim to reduce our plastic footprint by using glass, recyclable plastic and wood." Quadpack's wood experts worked with Neuraé to select the right type of wood and finish. The brand chose maple for its light surface and smooth, refined finish.

Rings and caps for droppers, jars and roll-on applicators were custom-designed and manufactured in Quadpack's wood factory in Spain, powered by renewable energy and equipped with a biomass plant to process production waste.

Quadapack emphasizes that, obtained exclusively from sustainably-managed forests, each wooden component is unique and has its own graining. What's more, the closures have been branded thanks to a delicate laser engraving process. "The laser was carefully calibrated to ensure superficial marking and avoid the typical burnt effect, and the maple provided an ideal base."says Quadpack.

The "Boosters d'Émotions" roll-on fragrances, ideally sized for use at any time of day, are presented in 6.5 ml glass bottles lacquered and decorated with a monochrome silkscreen. The ball applicator of each variant features a semi-precious stone: jade for energy, rose quartz for joy and amethyst for serenity. The cover is also made of maple.

"Overall, natural wood, glass and semi-precious stones reinforce the sensoriality of the range and help Neuraé in its quest to "cultivate skin beauty in connection with well-being""says Quadpack.

Dismantling misconceptions in the Quality Control Microbiology Lab

By
Charles River
-
site-industries-cosmetiques A scientist in a white lab coat sits on a laboratory bench with a microscope on top, meticulously writing on a notepad and handling test tubes in a red stand. The background fades into blurred laboratory equipment, recalling the organized chaos of Brouillon Auto's design studio.

Grace Hopper, renowned for her contributions to computer systems and mathematics, famously cautioned against complacency with the quote: "The most dangerous phrase in the language is, 'We've always done it this way.'" This mindset of preferring to stick with the familiar at the expense of innovation can be particularly restrictive in the cosmetics industry, including Quality Control microbiology, where efficiency is essential. The traditional microbial limits test method of plating relies on laboratory techniques that date back to the 1800s. Rapid microbiological detection methods offer alternative, more efficient, and dependable ways to achieve equivalent results in a fraction of the time. Alternative methods are pivotal in transforming how Quality Control is conducted and embrace innovative change over tradition. Without considering alternative methods, cosmetics and personal care industries are at risk for missing significant gains in efficiency.

Despite innovative technologies and advancements, there is still hesitation to change Quality Control testing from traditional methods to rapid microbial methods. QC labs may be comfortable with plating, but it's not the most effective way. Switching to rapid microbial methods can seem intimidating. There are misconceptions that the equipment is unnecessary, hard to implement, raises regulatory concerns, or is too expensive. However, the truth is that investing in new rapid microbial detection technology can improve laboratory workflow, streamline training, and provide quicker and more effective contamination remediation.

Due to its familiarity and compendial status, many laboratories consider the traditional plating method "good enough". It requires 3 to 7 days of incubation time just to say if a test has passed or failed; could we still consider this method good enough? Alternative methods of microbial detection, instead, use different technologies to assess the presence of microorganisms other than human eye confirmation. Some use advanced camera technology, lasers, and microbial indicators that can conclude viable microbial growth orders of magnitude faster than plating methods. There are many options for rapid detection technologies and, when considering the change, it's important to assess their compatibility with your products and the workflow of the process.

In addition to speed to results, rapid microbial detection methods have a host of additional advantages that can only be realized if you change from traditional plating methods. When you think about the process, there is no automation. Plate preparation is manual and test result decisions are based off of subjective visual colony counting to determine if the product can be released or not. Rapid microbial detection methods offer a significant advantage in automation of workflow and data production. Rapid methods require less hands-on time for the microbial Quality Control technician allowing higher throughput and less human error. The increased efficiency from rapid method automation optimizes the productivity of the microbiology lab and has a positive impact on the company and laboratory's output.

Another misconception about rapid microbial methods is that a new method is difficult to validate and implement. You can transition from the traditional microbial limits plate testing to a rapid method through method validation. Validation is proof that a method works for your needs, is a foundation of data history, and ensures consistency for the future. The work required to change to a new detection method can be reduced by making sure you have the right rapid method vendor. Vendors that offer method validation support, on-site training, and technical resources that are positioned around the world make the change significantly easier. Some vendors offer validation protocols or testing packages specific to cosmetics, home, personal care, and over-the-counter (OTC) drug products to meet a wide variety of product formulations. Validation testing and reports should be compliant with validation parameters for alternative methods such as United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) 5.1.6. Regulatory agencies are becoming more familiar with rapid microbial methods and are accepting it as a viable replacement to the compendial plate count method with proper validation. Rapid microbial methods have been approved around the globe by regulatory agencies with proper validation.

While transitioning to a rapid method requires an initial investment, both the short and long-term benefits greatly outweigh the cost. The value can be measured in cost avoidance associated with microbial contamination events and the reduction of expenses required to keep extra inventory in stock. While laboratories can acknowledge the benefits of rapid microbial methods, it can be challenging to build a business case around the budget required to implement them. What most don't realize, is that there is an internal investment partner at your company to collaborate with, specifically the operations department. Working with operations can allow for a joint venture where both teams can realize the value of the upgrade. The Quality Control laboratory gets tangible efficiency in their workflows and the operations group sees the value in the supply chain efficiency, agility, and predictability provided by the rapid method.

As stated above, moving to a rapid method can have significant impact in both your lab and operations. Rapid microbial methods give you automated results, increased data integrity, and in case of a contamination event, faster corrective action. When you release products faster, held inventory and additional costs are reduced - saving you time and money, which are really appreciated by stakeholders and financial teams. Why waste time and money when there is a better way to get your products to market faster. Aren't these all good reasons to understand that it's worth the switch?
