Natural and Clean Cosmetics – The Science Behind the Ingredients …by Giorgio Dell’Acqua
n recent years we have seen an increase of simplified products with fewer ingredients in the cosmetic market. The marketing message of these products is often linked to the ingredient sourcing, functionality, and safety (including the absence of the socalled no-no ingredients). Labeled as clean beauty products, they often rely on natural ingredients that are compatible with the human body, biodegradable, often used in traditional medicine, and easily fit in the safety profile of the finished product. But what about efficacy? Is it possible to develop clean beauty products containing the purest and most ethically sourced natural ingredients and prove their efficacy with science? Today, technology and science are available for both developing natural extracts and testing them— demonstrating their safety and efficacy—while maintaining their positive image of clean, pure, eco-friendly, safe, and sustainablysourced. Technologies derived from the pharma and imaging industries are available at affordable cost and flexibility. Genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics techniques are now available to the cosmetic scientist as well as instruments able to quantify skin characteristics in a non-invasive way.1 In other words, it is finally possible to verify the scientific edge and efficacy of any natural or natural-derived ingredient.
Raw Materials – Minimal Processing
Raw materials sourcing from the sustainable supply chain are often linked to biological agriculture and sustainable harvesting from the wild. These raw materials seem to emerge in the food supply chain first. Initial markets are in the country of origin on a micro-scale (e.g., local green markets), which eventually leads to a macro-scale and industrialization step (larger distribution in retail space). Often commercialized at the continent level, they are eventually “discovered” in other continents and grown accordingly to meet their commercial and marketing appeal.
Example – Pomegranate Seed Oil
Pomegranate is sourced through a sustainable model and cold pressed oil is produced. Due to its unique and elevated level of omega fatty acids, such as conjugated linolenic acid and punicic acid (see Table 1), pomegranate seed oil is a strong antioxidant with demonstrated protection from UV-induced protein oxidation (carbonylation) and DNA damage.2 (continued on Page 4)

Letter from the Chairman …Giorgino Macalino
t’s hard to believe how unpredictable 2020 has been so far, and while we may find it hard to plan for the future, PLANNING AND EXECUTING is what the New York Chapter has been doing as we endeavor to deliver education, expertise, and engagement through our newly-launched AT HOME LIVE Webinar Series. Launched in 10 short days, the program opened to hundreds of cosmetic chemists and product development executives participating in a Color Trends program presented by Amy G. Marshall of Eckart America Corporation. Additional live programs covering Hand Sanitizers, COVID-19, and Ingredients Trends followed, attracting more than 2,000 participants joining us from Latin America, UK, Europe, and more. This is incredible engagement and a testament to the technical expertise that has become a hallmark of NYSCC offerings. To complement these educational programs, NYSCC Suppliers’ Day has added a digital showcase—NYSCC’s Digital Pop-Up and Solutions Center—that will allow exhibitors and attendees to begin interacting and sourcing high performance ingredients and formulations. Kicking off this new initiative was a special Spate presentation on the Impact of COVID-19 on top trending ingredients that took place on May 5th, the original start date of Suppliers’ Day 2020. This presentation highlighted rising stars, which have been trending since the onset of the pandemic, and showcased others that have sustained growth and interest before COVID-19 and still continue to trend. Attendees were encouraged to learn more about these ingredients through the Suppliers’ Day interactive site (https://nysuppliers20.mapyourshow.com/8_0/#/) searchable database. If there is anything that we’ve grasped these last few weeks, it is that learning to adopt and adapt has certainly enabled many of our members to weather this storm! As a friendly reminder, Suppliers’ Day 2020 has been rescheduled for September 30 – October 1 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. Exhibitors have been relocated to their new booth space and we are working hard on programming and developing special features for this edition of the event. We stand with all of you as we await the next steps of “re-opening” the New York tri-state region. As we wait for those guidelines, we are still planning to present monthly virtual programs that address some of the hottest topics in product formulation, including: Skin Microbiome: Perspectives on Aging, Compromised Skin and Cosmetics (scheduled for June), and Sun Care Symposium (scheduled for August). Programs in the At Home Live series continue through the end of May, so be sure to visit https://nyscc.org/at-home-live-series/ for the latest calendar of online offerings. NYSCC Suppliers’ Day has joined the Go Live Together (www.golivetogether.com) initiative, which represents those involved in live events, including venues, contractors, event management teams, events, meetings, and travel associations. We know from working with this group that we will have our finger on the pulse of all that is happening and receive the most up-to-date information on how to effectively and safely get back to educating and engaging our members and participants from across the globe. We will share information as it becomes available and relates to our scheduled events. In the meantime, please stay safe, stay healthy, and stay in touch! We look forward to seeing you all soon!

Further research highlighted the oil’s soothing properties such as inhibition of the inflammatory mediator lipoxygenase;3 but also its regenerating characteristics, such as the stimulation of keratinocyte growth.4
Raw Material – Extraction and Transformation in an Active Ingredient
Raw materials are often transformed into active ingredients for personal care applications. Specific extraction by using biodegradable and natural solvents produces ingredients with specific physicochemical characteristics and solubility for different cosmetic applications. Once ingredients are validated based on stability assays and scaled up, they can be tested for safety and efficacy in different models (in vitro, ex vivo, and clinical – non-animal).
Example – Fucoidan from Seaweed
Seaweed is rich in phenol derivatives and polysaccharides, which provide it with protective activity.5,6 Brown seaweed also contains a compound called fucoidan that assists with protection from marine pathogens. Fucoidan is a fucose-rich polysaccharide with anti-viral, immune modulating, and matrix metalloprotease inhibiting properties.7 By isolating fucoidan from seaweed, the formulator can use lower concentrations of the extract. These lower levels reduce the risk of incompatibilities and material setting, color issues, and scent—improving the overall stability.8 Recent research highlighted the scientific value of fucoidan as a skin soothing and regenerating agent as demonstrated by reduction of trans-epidermal water loss, decreased wrinkle depth, increased elasticity, and reduction of proteases.9
Conclusions
Natural and clean beauty products contain natural ingredients communicated through ethical sourcing and safety. Scientific tools allow us to analyze and test these ingredients for efficacy, therefore helping to select the correct ingredient concentration to add to the finished product for optimal functionality. Natural and clean beauty brands need to validate their ingredient efficacy through robust scientific testing and/or select their suppliers based on the scientific profile of their ingredient line. Natural ingredient efficacy must be performed using the highest scientific standards to validate their benefits for cosmetic applications. There is a clear need in the market for more science and credible claims.

helating agents are ions or molecules that form coordination bonds with metal ions. In shampoos, cleaners, and other personal care products, EDTA salts are used as a sequestering agent to improve their stability. EDTA and its salts are the most common chelators because of their performance and affordability, but their manufacture, safety, and environmental fate are all problematic. A solution for modern “greener” formulations is the amino acid based chelates GLDA (tetrasodium glutamate diacetate) and MGDA (trisodium dicarboxymethyl alaninate). We will see the difference in feed stocks, production processing, waste and emissions, and impurities that make these materials far superior to EDTA. We will examine their biodegradation and chelating capacity. Finally, we will see the synergy in preservative efficacy using amino acid based ε-polylysine as an example.

Desperately Seeking Synergy – Joseph Albanese
t is often said that formulating cosmetics is part science and part art. With little challenge, chemistry is considered the premier science involved. Conversely, the mathematical science of statistics is not often invoked when discussing new product development or reformulating existing products. However, much can be learned by cosmetic chemists who use design of experiments (DOE) software to discover synergistic interactions of ingredients to optimize performance, minimize cost, lead to patent opportunities, and even possibly accelerate speed to market. Hopefully, “Desperately Seeking Synergy – An Introduction to the Ways and Means to Optimizing Cosmetic Formulations” will help get you on the road to discovery.

In Defense of Ethoxylated Emulsifiers – Ricardo Diez
ll ethoxylated emulsifiers have an internal ‘magic structure’ that make them very efficient and versatile for formulating a wide range of cosmetic emulsions. Along with soap, they remain the most widely used emulsifiers on a global basis. In the past few years, however, concerns about the presence of 1,4-dioxane, a by-product of the ethoxylation process, has generated in some sectors of the industry an overzealous ‘need to replace’ them with non-ethoxylated materials. Oftentimes, these alternative materials are not nearly as efficient or versatile. The fact remains that these ethoxylated emulsifiers contain very little 1,4-dioxane. In fact, when used at typical concentrations found in cosmetic emulsions, the result is a finished product containing 1,4-dioxane in the ppb range. Why do these materials have so little 1,4-dioxane in comparison to ether sulfates? What is the ‘magic structure’ that makes these materials so unique and difficult to replace? Why are they so important in the lamellar gel network model for emulsions? Join us to hear the answer to these questions.
n Ricardo Diez, Ph.D.
Ricardo Diez has worked in the cosmetic industry for more than four decades in R&D and product development positions in both consumer product companies (Procter & Gamble, Dial Corp, Chanel) and raw material manufacturers (Miranol, Stepan, Witco). He obtained several technology patents in both fields. He is currently an adjunct professor at Rutgers University in the Master of Business and Science, where he teaches a cosmetic science course. He also instructs courses at the Center for Professional Advancement. Until recently, he also taught courses for the IFSCC and the SCC.

Tonal Comeback: Future Trends 2020 – Charnin Brown
t these times of uncertainty, the one universal constant is color. Colors help people communicate both verbally and silently. Colors not only evoke emotion and feelings, but can also affect our mood as well as how we are perceived by others. When normalcy returns, these colors will continue to resonate and be crucial for a brighter future. In this presentation, the focus will be on shades of blue, green, yellow, and white in various textures of crème, frost, shimmer, chrome, metallic, and glitter. These multi-use hues and pigments can be broadly used in color cosmetics and nail lacquer.
