s much as I enjoy a good challenge, knowing that I had become Chair of the society’s largest chapter, I must admit it felt a bit scary at first. I knew it was important to have a clear vision and I was daunted by the amount of time that was needed to succeed. But with the chapter’s long history and its deep-rooted mission of education as my guide, the direction to take soon became crystal clear.

First, there was the need to continue with our top of the line educational programming. Using industry leading intelligence reports coupled with the newly instituted scientific committee for guidance, and appointing key members as event chairs, we were on our way. The theme was sustainability and the focus was on industry growth drivers. Exciting and interactive classes and programs were launched this year which helped advance the knowledge of our members.

The plan to move Supplier’s Day to the world-class Javits Center and NYC also seemed an insurmountable task at the beginning of my tenure. However, it was evident that with competition lurking in the background, we had to swiftly deploy expertise, might, and passion to deliver a trade event that all our suppliers and attendees would find to be a good investment and that our membership would be proud to call their own—I think we did just that in May. The execution went beyond our expectation. Rest assured that our industry event is only going to get bigger and better!

Continued growth and far-reaching program development for the chapter require cooperation and collaboration. As you have seen from our press releases, we have expanded partnerships with local and global associations, organizations, as well as our sister chapters: these partnerships are sure to strengthen NYSCC Suppliers’ Day and most importantly bring value to the entire membership.

In closing, I would like to thank the members for the honor of serving the Chapter as Chair. A special thanks goes out to the following people whose skills and support I couldn’t have done without: Cathy Piterski, Gino Macaliano, Steve Herman, Roger McMullen, Mohamed Abdulla, Giorgio Dell’Aqua, Mohamed Omer, Mitisha Mehta, Daphne Benderly, and Jane McDermott. While every NYSCC volunteer and committee member uniquely contributed to the advancement of our Chapter’s mission, these people I leaned on the most. I would also like to express my gratitude to the Coptis management for supporting the society’s mission. Last but not least, my life is blessed with a son and two daughters, some of the most amazing family members and friends. Thank you all for being part of this journey.

The love and dedication that each member has for the Chapter is its biggest strength and that is what is sure to maintain its sustainability and longevity. Thank you for a successful year. Happy Holidays to all our members. See you in 2018.

NYSCC on a Mission Cosmetic and Beauty Executives Spearhead “All About Beauty” Mission Trip – Fall 2017!

T

he week of Thanksgiving 2017 A U.S. based team of cosmetic industry professionals and philanthropists traveled to the Caribbean island of Haiti to uplift and educate the residents of Montrouis and the surrounding areas on hygiene, wellness, and personal care product development and technology. The “All About Beauty” mission trip was led by Amy Fletcher, Founder of House of Hope, a nonprofit organization educating, empowering, and equipping Haitians to build stronger communities and families through sustainable programs and orphan care. Joining Amy for this maiden voyage was Marie Renee Thadal, Chair of the New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists (NYSCC) and Business Development Executive; Melanie Mitchell, Public Relations Specialist and Founder of Gourmet Body Pastries Skincare; Myriam Almonor, Ph.D., Public Health and Scientist; and Jolia Thadal, Media Arts and Technology student at RIT. The team eagerly made their voyage for the little island known as Pearl of the Antilles.

“The very essence of NYSCC is about supporting and giving back. While I have had the opportunity to do this on a professional level locally, I am so fortunate to now have the chance to expand the mission of education and empowerment to a community that so desperately needs it,” said Marie Thadal, Chair of the NYSCC. “House of Hope parallels the SCC’s global mission of advancing and encouraging science and education, but on a much more personal level!”

House of Hope focuses on four core development programs. Each one enables effective partnerships with locals to ensure efforts are sustainable and offer dignity and hope to each individual in the community.

As an alumnus of her high school’s First Robotics team, Jolia Thadal reached out to Team 2590, Nemesis, for help in organizing and donating materials for some fun and educational activities for the House of Hope children. These activities are based on Nemesis’ successful Discovery Day outreach programs for children of similar ages.

“Industries and communities have the ability to share expertise, strengths, and relationships that can make a difference on a global scale,” said Amy Fletcher, Founder, House of Hope.

“We are excited about what we accomplished and we are confident this endeavor will be the platform for the launch of similar programs into other impoverished regions seeking knowledge, empowerment, and fulfillment.”

2017 in Review – The Chair’s Monthly Letters January

H

appy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are well rested and ready to enjoy all that 2017 has in store for you.

During the holidays, I could not stop thinking about my journey leading to this important position. Serving on various NYSCC committees and on the executive board has been quite a rewarding experience for me both personally and professionally. Each position I have held has offered a new opportunity to contribute to the chapter’s short- and long-term growth.

In the meanwhile, I also developed new skills and a business network.

Having chaired various committees, such as Membership, House, Public Relations, and Treasurer, helped me to be confident in accepting the challenges of being the 2016 NYSCC Chair-elect and 2017 Chair.

According to the NYSCC chapter’s mission, Program is one of the board’s most important tasks. As such, an exciting line up of events has been planned. The 2017 Program will emphasize the business of cosmetics with a focus of key growth drivers that will ultimately help our members gain market share and maintain a competitive advantage.

The theme of the year revolves around Sustainability, Natural, and Green. These are areas showing evidence of strong growth opportunity. I encourage you to visit our website as well as to pay attention to our mailings and social media posts for upcoming events. Whether it is an evening or a full-day event, do not miss the distinguished presenters who will educate us on the topics of: Eco-Evolution; The Future of Sustainability; Open Innovation; Globalization and Emerging Markets; Colloids and Surface Science; Fashion, Beauty, and Technology; Innovation in Textured Hair Care; and It’s all About The Naturals!

Keep in mind, there are also special events scheduled throughout the year so our members can socialize and network. Let us also make sure that every single one of us rushes to register for Suppliers’ Day 2017, which is being held on May 2nd and 3rd at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, making the Suppliers’ Day show a true New York show and one you should not miss.

Of course, none of this would be possible if it were not for all the dedicated NYSCC volunteers who tirelessly work to fulfill the chapter’s mission of education. With their support and collaboration, I look forward to sharing a very exciting 2017 with all our members. ____________________________________________________________

irst and foremost, I would like to thank the members of all the various committees who came together to make the Chapter’s January event “Eco-Evolution” a successful one. Also, a big thanks goes to everyone who attended the event. It is truly amazing to see that the vision laid out for Program 2017 is unfolding quite nicely.

To stay informed of all the exciting new developments with the chapter, please browse the NYSCC events page periodically as updates are made almost daily. New events that will take place in the latter part of the year will soon be uploaded. You may also be pleasantly surprised to discover that a new speaker or sponsor of interest to your specific projects has been added to a scheduled event.

As you decide on which events to attend, keep in mind that topics for the monthly meetings are based on the Cosmetic Industry intelligence report found in IBIS World Market Research. The New York chapter’s education mission and its dedication to the advancement of Cosmetic Science are our number one priority. So the 2017 Program V O L U M E

was strategically designed to bring information on market sectors forecasted to bring the most value to our industry.

Coming up next is “The Future of Sustainability” scheduled for February 15th. It will be a full day of activities with many distinguished speakers who are leaders in sustainability practices. The Kathy Ireland Media Crew will also be there for a field report on how the NYSCC chapter fulfills its education mission. The day will end with an “Oscar-like” award reception honoring those companies who have made great strides in Sustainability.

Lastly, thanks to the relentless work of our dedicated volunteers, a day of fun and skiing at Hunter Mountain will also take place on February 24th. Check the website, Cosmetiscope, and your social media feeds for more information. ____________________________________________________________

n February 15th at the NYSCC Future of Sustainability event, we rolled out the red carpet for our most sustainable companies. Out of many entrants, the companies selected by a panel of independent judges were: Alban Muller, Croda, and Seppic. These industry suppliers were recognized by the New York chapter for their robust sustainable initiatives and practices. More than ever, companies are proving that implementing a “Planet, People, Profit” strategy to their business model can bring much value to their brand.

On behalf of the NYSCC executive board, I congratulate our sustainability award winners and thank our distinguished speakers for sharing their knowledge. The winners also received an invitation to participate in the session, Discover Sustainability, which will take place at the 2017 Suppliers’ Day. Elizabeth Kaufman, a student member of the society and a Ph.D. candidate at New York University, should be applauded for taking on this major project while defending her thesis. Elizabeth truly loves the SCC and wants to see the New York chapter grow.

So, what is next? Mergers and acquisitions were rampant in 2016. In fact, it has been an upward trend since 2014. Why are so many companies moving away from organic growth approaches to innovation? How can suppliers and manufacturers take advantage of this trend? Where are the opportunities? Mohamed Omer of Revlon and his team are planning a full-day event to address this dynamic environment. The business of cosmetics is not only appropriate for upper management, but also for bench chemists so that they can understand how projects and processes can help boost a company’s valuation. In other words, all employees at a firm need to understand the end game, which is value creation. The agenda strives to cover: • Ideation and new product design.

• Brand strategy.

• IP strategies and university alliances.

• Mergers and acquisitions.

Yes, many things are happening at the NYSCC! Event chairs and committee members are working diligently to create a sustainable future for the chapter. Registration is open for Open Innovation – The Business of Cosmetics at www.nyscc.org/events. See you bright and early on March 23rd at the beautiful Pleasantdale Château in South Orange, NJ. ____________________________________________________________

egardless of where you are, R&D, innovation, creativity, and regulation in every part of the world impact the global supply chain. In case you have not heard me say this before, the 2017 NYSCC Program aims at identifying key drivers of evolution in the cosmetic industry. The goal is to explore disruptive trends with a focus on learning what global leaders do better than others to maintain their leadership position. The March NYSCC Open Innovation event was well executed, even beyond the vision I had set forth. Great job by the event chairs, co-chairs, and the entire team. We also truly appreciate all the attendees who took time to fill out the post-event survey. Your responses will help bring events and speakers that you, the NYSCC

members, wish to see in the future. We encourage everyone to stay engaged and have a say in the evolution of the chapter.

As you know, competitive advantages and industry growth have relied on markets that are borderless. But in today’s geopolitical and economic landscape, we cannot help but to be reminded of Heraclitus, the Greek philosopher who quoted: “Change is the only constant in life.” On April 19, 2017 at the Bethwood in Totowa, NJ, the Bric ‘N Brexit event will open a discussion that emphasizes why business models must evolve or risk the chance of becoming obsolete. It was not too long ago many companies were chasing emerging markets. Where do we stand now on globalization or EU regulations? The chairs of the NYSCC’s April event invited four outstanding speakers to share their knowledge and bring updates on this subject.

Beyond the chapter’s educational monthly events, the NYSCC volunteers have organized a Suppliers’ Day event unlike any other. First, there is the excitement of moving the show to the Big Apple. Next, visitors will be captivated by an exhibition of global industry suppliers showcasing their latest technologies in one contiguous space. Yet, the volunteers did not stop there. Let us explore other attractions NYSCC Suppliers’ Day 2017 has to offer that will add to the experience: • Ribbon Cutting ceremony • Innovation Alley • SCC Continuing Education Program Courses • Future Chemists Workshop • Digital Age of Beauty • Discover Sustainability @ Suppliers’ Day 2017 • Sustainability Awards Night Celebration • Collaboration with the Broadway Musical War Paint celebrating Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden rise to success • French Pavillion For more information, please visit the website to get all the details and register to be part of the world’s premier cosmetic trade show. You can select which education program you wish to attend at https://nyscc.org/suppliersday/. Keep in mind, no other trade show in the world provides you with what Suppliers’ Day offers: A well-attended show with a global reach powered by our local expertise. ____________________________________________________________

discovering how embracing sustainability can boost profitability. For insights on the global market, we welcome presenters from China, Europe, and Brazil.

The executive board wishes to thank all the members for their positive feedback and enthusiasm regarding the move of Suppliers’ Day to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, one of the largest venues in the tri-state area. It was a necessary move that allowed the chapter to plan a world class event to properly service long time exhibitors and provide space to accommodate new participants. With 160,000 gross square feet, we were able to add new attractions and details that are sure to add value to the overall experience.

Going forward, we hope to capitalize on this year’s process, location, and show manager’s expertise to continue to bring new features to Suppliers’ Day. This event has become the lifeline of the NYSCC Educational program and the special events offered to members throughout the year. One example of how the chapter fulfills its mission is in its support to STEM, which will be displayed on Day 1 at the Future Chemists Workshop.

Whether you drive, take the train, or hop on the complimentary NYSCC shuttle from New Jersey, do plan to arrive early. You do not want to miss the ribbon cutting ceremony with the show’s VIPs and War Paint cast members. This year, our VIPs are the NYSCCs past chairs whose dedicated service to the chapter is the real reason behind the success of Suppliers’ Day. Since we are in New York City, why not stay late to enjoy the award celebration which will be held at Stage 48. Be sure to register so that you can applaud the winners of the most sustainable ingredients, have a good time, socialize, and network.

With just a few days to show time, we are finally coming home! The NYSCC board and committee members are proud and eager to welcome you to Suppliers’ Day 2017 at its new home, The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, the hub of fashion and beauty.

Be our guest! ____________________________________________________________

hat a debut NYSCC Suppliers’ Day made on May 2nd and 3rd in New York City! The 38th edition of Suppliers’ Day unequivocally highlighted one of the proudest moments of the chapter’s tremendous sixty-two-year history. The move to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center was bold.

But beyond the glass, the show delivered nearly 9,000 attendees from almost 60 countries seeking the latest in innovation in raw materials from 435 exhibiting companies. The show occupied a massive 80,000 square feet of contiguous space, hailing it a successful event by the Javits Center and cosmetic industry professionals. Board and committee members did not stop to rest.

Initiatives for around the year strategic planning and robust marketing campaign have been put in place. In addition, if you are a supplier and have not reserved space for 2018, do so ASAP! Now that the 2017 NYSCC Suppliers’ Day high has subsided, we turn our attention to the chapter’s mission and long term strategic planning.

Thanks to our wonderful volunteers, we are extending the NYSCC’s reach globally and around the nation to promote cosmetic science. We hope you saw us on Worldwide Business with Kathy Ireland® on Fox Business Network and Bloomberg. If you missed it, you can go to see the entire video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0FYigmTYuU. The NYSCC sponsored the 91st annual meeting of the American Chemical Society Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry, which highlighted the latest scientific advances in colloid and surface science. The program was held at The City College of New York on July 9-12, 2017. Two NYSCC delegates, Elizabeth Kaufman, Ph.D. and Giorgio Dell’Acqua, Ph.D. were on hand as moderator and representative for the NYSCC sponsored session on “Colloids and Surface Science in Medicine and Personal Care Products: Advances in Colloidal Systems for Personal Care”. Hani Fares, Ph.D. of Ashland Specialty Ingredients, was a presenter of “Emulsions and Foams in Personal Care Applications”.

A Scientific Committee was recently launched and charged with developing content for communication on cosmetic science, innovation, supply chain, product and ingredient development, and other relevant topics for our industry. The Scientific Committee will work very close with the various chairs to advise and coordinate efforts. It will also reach out to the general public outside our industry with the goal to divulge scientifically proven information and reduce misinformation on cosmetics and cosmetic science. Serving as chair is Giorgio Dell’Acqua, Ph.D. The NYSCC sponsored the Mid-Atlantic SCC to launch their first Transformation Live Virtual webinar that took place on June 21, 2017, which was held simultaneously at Rutgers University, The University of Delaware, and Virginia Commonwealth University. It was also available remotely to the membership. Congratulations to Mark Chandler and team on bringing this format to the society this year.

The NYSCC sponsored the ICMAD City Awards held at Cosmoprof Las Vegas on June 10, 2017. As a Partner Sponsor, the NYSCC Suppliers’ Day logo was featured on all on-site materials and an advertisement announcing 2018 event dates appeared in the program distributed to all in attendance. This partnership will allow us to have a voice to the ICMAD membership as we move to 2018 Suppliers’ Day. The partnership will be highlighted with ICMAD’s presence at 2018 Suppliers’ Day—details are being finalized.

In the meantime, NYSCC Program and Special Event Chairs are zealously working to close out the year with a bang. We look forward to seeing you at our other events and activities.

• Join us for a fun day at the 24th Annual NYSCC Golf Outing at Crystal Springs Resort on July 26th.

• #BeyondTheBrief and the 2017 NYSCC Culinary Event. You can attend both events on September 6th at a discounted price.

• Innovation in Textured Hair Care to be held October 12, 2017.

ummer went by way too fast. Attending Cosmoprof Las Vegas, visiting customers, and spending a day at the Intermountain SCC event in the Rocky Mountains may have helped to force the season through for me. I hope you all enjoyed some time off and are now ready to move into the Fall with still more exciting events from the chapter!

At NYSCC, it seems that no one ever rests! The level of dedication is infectious and because of our enthusiastic volunteers, we are fully engaged in ensuring the sustainability of our chapter. The last part of the year will bring exciting events to close out the 2017 educational program, and provide plenty of networking and fundraising activities.

1. #BeyondTheBrief is a social and educational event where the worlds of beauty, fashion, color, and science converge. Chaired by Eileen Kim of Chanel USA, and her team, Lara Ahad, Sophia Chen, Ingrid Chirico, Andrea Gafford, and Yana Melnikova, this program promises to be an event unlike any other! Space is limited, I hope you are already registered. See you on September 6th at Peclers Paris HQ in New York.

2. The evening of September 6th, members will be transported to the Midtown Loft and Terrace to enjoy a cocktail hour on the roof top. Danielle Dewolf and Amy Marshall have planned a culinary lesson in alignment with the NYSCC sustainability theme of the year. This year’s Culinary Event is already sold out!

October 12th at the Chart House in Weehawken, NJ. As consumers are interested in addressing their hair care needs based on their unique hair texture or curl pattern as opposed to their ethnicity, the NYSCC brings in the experts for a day of education on this current market trend.

At the October 12th event, the entire board and committee members will be recognized for their tremendous energy devoted to the advancement of the chapter’s mission of education. We tip our hats to our volunteers. We also wish to show appreciation to our sponsors on that day. Please join us if you have sponsored any of our events during the 2017 education program. In addition, we will be raffling two Hudson River dinner cruise gift certificates (value of $250 each) at the October 12th event. Be there to be a winner!

Besides our own Chapter events, the NYSCC is also expanding its educational reach by sponsoring key SCC events in Florida, California, and the annual scientific event in New York City. Please see this issue of Cosmetiscope for more information on this new initiative that will not only benefit the NYSCC, but all chapters and the entire industry!

On a more somber note, the people of the great state of Texas who have been afflicted by this unprecedented natural disaster are in our hearts and prayers. Please consider donating to a charity of choice to help the people of Texas impacted by Hurricane Harvey.

Finally, to close out this year of tremendous growth and change for the NYSCC, you will be treated to a spectacular charity event, -NYSCC for Education”, to be held in New York on December 11, 2017. I encourage you to read next month’s Cosmetiscope and to check out the website event page as well as your social media feeds for more information on what we are planning just for you! ____________________________________________________________

o, the NYSCC Educational Program for 2017 will stage its finale on Thursday October 12th! The chapter’s last program event of the year will be held at the beautiful venue, the Chart House in Weehawken, NJ, overlooking the Hudson River with an amazing view of the New York City skyline. I am pleased that our members are eagerly taking advantage of the NYSCC monthly programs. They are planned strategically for our market to discover innovation and stimulate creativity.

The October program features Innovation in Textured Hair Care and is designed to equip our members with the tools to capitalize on this growing market segment. Scientists and influencers who will present at the event will share their unique perspective and expertise on the subject. The hair care market, according to an IBIS world report, is the fastest growing segment—hence, a very good reason for holding the October 12th event!

Furthermore, new research from Mintel—featured in the breaking news section of Happi.com on September 20, 2017—reveals that shampoo sales among Black consumers are expected to grow 7.3 percent to reach an estimated $473 million in 2017, the largest percent growth seen in the category in the last five years. “Hair care brands need to keep the pulse on the ethnic markets so they stay relevant as this influential segment becomes a larger part of the marketplace,” said Toya Mitchell, Multicultural Analyst at Mintel. As you can see, you cannot afford to miss this event. If you have not registered to attend, be sure to do so today.

While finalizing your schedule for the year, please visit the website for more information on the upcoming NYSCC for Education Charity event taking place in conjunction with National’s 71st Annual Meeting and Technology Showcase on Monday, December 11th. Details on sponsoring and attending will soon be available on the NYSCC.org event page. Giorgino Macaliano already has a team in place. You do not want to miss this final celebration, which will take place at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City, closing a successful 2017 year!

As this year’s NYSCC programming ends, do not worry! The volunteers led by the chapter’s Chair-elect Cathy Piterski are carefully planning and crafting an NYSCC 2018 Educational Program promising to be out of this world!

In closing, I would like to remind you to take time to vote for the next officers seeking a position on the executive board. The ballots will soon be out. Your vote determines the future of the chapter. I also wish to thank all the Event Chairs and Committee members who worked so hard on the NYSCC 2017 Educational Program, led by Stephen Herman, and the NYSCC Special Events, led by Amy Marshall. It was a great collaboration by all. Well done!

ime flies when you are having fun! It feels like it was only yesterday that I opened up the 2017 NYSCC Program with the introduction of Dr. Silvia Earle—the keynote speaker for the January event. The NYSCC’s focus for this year has been to “Discover Sustainability: Planet, People, and Profit.” Month after month members shared their testimonials that the NYSCC program has soared to a new high. This was no accident. Market intel reports were used as a guide to ensure we educated our members on subject matter relevant to trends and promising to be the driving forces behind our industry’s growth.

I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to the 2017 event chairs and committee members for being the backbone of the chapter. Due to their tireless efforts, the mission of the chapter The Challen ges of Sustain able Develop continues to be met. Volunteers are the heartbeat of the society and we understand fully the ment T importance of creating a strong network and environment for our members to compete and thrive.

In the spirit of collaboration, many new relationships were forged that will ensure our reach to secure new members, while expanding our educational offerings. These include Independent Cosmetic Manufacturers and Distributors (ICMAD), Personal Care Products Council (PCPC), PerclersParis, Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW), FCE Cosmetique… and more to come! We are also helping to strengthen the national SCC’s presence by supporting our sister chapters with event sponsorships, registering delegates, and e-marketing outreach.

Not to brag, but for global raw material sourcing, the NYSCC Suppliers’ Day is where you can find all the action in New York. In 2017 we took a leap of faith with our new, expanded venue. Watch out from here on, it is all about strategies! The NYSCC Suppliers’ Day show management team has been at many events around the world scouting and planning to enhance the experience for our exhibitors and attendees alike. You will notice a new “Cosmetic Raws” searchable database aimed at improving the communication between suppliers and scientists to prioritize interactions before even stepping foot on the show floor. In this way, business and engagement happens before the doors of the show open! These types of programs that enhance the experiential program will continue to roll out. Our vision is to be the dominant trade show of cosmetic ingredients in the world with a boutique flair that captures our local expertise and continues to foster education and networking.

“The NYSCC Supports Education” charity event, chaired by Gino Macaliano, will take place on December 11th in New York City during the 71st SCC Annual Meeting and Technology Showcase. The charity event will acknowledge all SCC members, so be sure to renew your membership if you have not already done so. For immediate assistance, contact Colleen Daddino (212-668-1500) at the SCC National Office for renewals and member information. Time is limited. Get your tickets early and become a sponsor. I am counting on Gino and his team to help us close out a very successful 2017 in true NYSCC style. See you at the Hard Rock Cafe!

Highlighting the NYSCC’s Commitment to Sustainability The Challenges of Sustainable Development …by Giorgio Dell’Acqua

Sustainable Development

T

he most often cited definition of sustainable development is the one from the Brundtland Commission of the United Nations on March 20, 1987: “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”1 Working in product development, we may ask ourselves, “What is the route to follow to achieve the goal of sustainable development when we develop a product?” It is important to point out that we need to work within the sustainable development architecture that is formed by the three pillars of sustainability, or the so called “triple bottom line,” a term introduced by John Elkington in the 1990s, that considers economic factor (or profit), social equity (or people), and environmental practice (or planet) when developing a business or a product.2 In recent years, a great deal of attention has been given by many businesses, including large corporations V O L U M E

with vast media and consumer exposure, to ensure the way they run their business aligns with the triple bottom line, i.e. considering the people and the planet not secondary to profit. Paul Hawken in the early 1990s already highlighted the lack of responsibility and accountability by businesses when considering the life of their products and the ecological impact of these products on the environment.3 In the early 2000s, evidence of climate change, reducing resources, and social pressure made it impossible to ignore sustainable development.

Today, increased consumption, production, and use of natural resources are linked to a model that is no longer sustainable.

Therefore, industries are adopting practices that limit or ameliorate non-sustainable uses of resources as well as pollution and waste generated by industrial production and processing. Green chemistry and by-product recycling are good examples of how many corporations are moving towards more sustainable models. From a legislative perspective, the big question is governance. Who decides the timing, rules, and inputs for sustainable practice? Who measures the outcome, and how do we measure it? In recent times, government bodies have enforced controls on industry to make sure their procedures limit the impact on the environment. Although, often these controls are mostly aimed at making sure that the human biome is secure, i.e. our health and safety is not in danger. In fact, the private sector has taken the lead in recent years to ensure that its business complies as much as possible to a sustainable development model. It is called corporate social responsibility (or CSR) and entails a series of objectives aimed at benefiting the environment and providing social impact. Because of a lack of established rules from legislators, there has been a flurry of profit and non-profit initiatives, from CSR departments to certification and auditing bodies, to make sure the sustainable practice is followed and enforced.

Measuring the Triple Bottom Line What is the outcome of the “triple bottom line”? What do we measure on our sustainable development spreadsheet? The bottom line is the last line at the end of a revenue and expenses sheet where a profit or loss outcome is registered. The triple bottom line is the outcome on financial, social, and environmental performance. While the financial part is quite straightforward to measure and regulated by auditing bodies, the environmental and social components are less obvious and not mandatory. Pressured by media, bloggers, and consumer organizations companies—often helped by certification agencies and consultant firms— the industry has developed its own way to measure its environmental and social impact. The idea is that the systems put in place by the CSRs to rate these performances would be advertised (and judged) through sustainability annual reports visible to shareholders, stakeholders, and the general public.

The Cosmetic Industry and Sustainable Practice The cosmetic industry, like any other industry that creates products, has to deal with practices that consider: the way the ingredients are sourced and transported (supply chain), the entire processing procedure before the finish product reaches the market, and then, of course, the product’s life end (waste vs. recycling).

Every single aspect of the process can be more or less sustainable. A great deal of attention has recently been placed into product processing and life end, where CSR programs have better control and understanding, and where results can be easily measured and communicated to the media and general public. In particular, attention to the environment (green chemistry, reduced use of water, carbon footprint, etc.) or people (quality of work, safety, etc.) when producing and processing has been implemented in the product development process in many cosmetic companies including multinationals.

In addition, attention to life end products, especially in packaging waste (e.g., cradle-to-cradle design initiatives or store recycling programs), and also ingredient waste (e.g., the ban of polyethylene microbeads) has been implemented by many corporations. What is more elusive and more difficult to control by the CSR is the first part of the process, i.e. the supply chain, where companies have to deal with multiple variables and changes are not easily implemented. Certification bodies and audit agencies have been involved more and more to control the sustainable practice of the supply chain; however, due to the necessity to negotiate the need of a particular ingredient with the restrictions often associated with sustainable sourcing, the outcome is often shady and subjective. The idea is that the process should be approved by the CSR, then ultimately judged by consumers (if enough information to judge is available).

The Social Performance—The Double Bottom Line While the environmental performance is often quantifiable and visible, the social performance of the impact of a product on communities is more complicated to measure since each community has different needs and goals. The measurement is complex and often needs to be tailored. It is also imperative that we examine the quality of life in the community and not just survival. Job creation and fair trade are important, but they are not enough to provide stable infrastructures.

Housing, schools, hospitals, banks, etc. are also essential for community welfare and growth.

Social performance is not just about measuring outcomes, but also about the actions and corrective measures that are being taken to bring about those outcomes.

Social performance, therefore, looks at the entire process by which impact is created.

When examining input, it is essential to verify what resources a company provides to support a community activity. Specifically, what is the reason (charity, investment, or initiative), in what form (gift, loan, time), and for what cause (education, health, etc.). Once the inputs are delivered, outputs (what happened) and impacts (what changed) can be measured over time. In particular, community outputs to measure would be the number of activities delivered, how many people were reached, and the level of funds raised. The measured output on business, infrastructure, securities created, and additional leverage should also be monitored. Impact changes in communities can be measured as a result of the activity. These changes should bring short- and long-term benefits to create a self-sustainable community with a good quality of life.

Measuring Tools for Social Performance—The Cosmetic Industry Various certification bodies have put in place indicators in order to issue a certificate that should guarantee a social sustainable practice in sourcing or developing an ingredient or a finished product. A corporation’s social sustainable practice rating will be affected by their fair trading practices, and in some cases, child labor and human rights activities. Since social performance cannot be limited to fair trading, but should look at the broader impact and improvement on community quality of life (as discussed above), other indicators need to be considered.

Since the improvement of the quality of community life is often dependent on governance and monetary investment, social performance indicators have been traditionally developed by agencies interfacing and collaborating with banks (delivering microfinance support), local governments, and non-profit organizations that often work together to deliver inputs that have a positive social impact.

It is interesting to see how the cosmetic ingredients sector interfaces with these organizations and if those indicators can be used by the cosmetic industry. Some good examples are in Africa and South America where cosmetic finished product companies, cosmetic ingredients traders, and suppliers work in parallel with local non-governmental organizations—subsidized by local governments and foreign agencies—to obtain a community sustainable development effort to scale-up specific ingredients that would target the cosmetic market.

Some recent examples include: quinoa in Bolivia where a cosmetic company worked with non-profit organizations to ensure sustainable practice during the ingredient’s sourcing;4 or marula oil in Namibia where microfinance institutions collaborated with traders to support farming communities operating through sustainable harvesting to bring ingredients to the cosmetic market. This latter case is a perfect example of cooperation between an ingredient supplier organization (Phytotrade Africa), a bank delivering microfinance loans (FIDES Bank of Namibia), non-governmental organizations (supported by the German cooperation for development), and finished product companies (such as The Body Shop).5,6 I would like to suggest that if the cosmetic industry wants to measure the social performance when sourcing an ingredient, it should be more involved in community support (and not just fair trading), participate in more complex networks of stakeholders, and adopt tools used by these networks to establish its real impact in the community quality of life to support sustainable growth (see Figure 1 on page 16).

To measure the impact of a double bottom line business on community social metrics—such as housing, health, and education—jobs and incomes are often the main parameters scored. Several tools have been developed including the Progress Out of Poverty Index (PPI) developed by Grameen Bank in collaboration with the CGAP (World Bank) and Ford Foundation that measures household poverty line, and the FINCA tool (FCAT) elaborated by a consortium of microfinance institutions (called FINCA) that considers social metrics.7-9

Concluding Remarks Sustainable development is a challenge, but is essential in order to preserve our natural environment and to sustain and protect our communities. Today, it is possible to network and use technology to grow our economy in a sustainable and ethical way. Programs, frameworks, and measuring tools need to be further developed to help the cosmetic industry effectively implement sustainable programs of development.

ustainability is a wide reaching term that covers many aspects of the cosmetics and personal care industry. This event aims to explore several aspects of sustainability and how they pertain to our responsibilities both as scientists and businesses. Green chemistry can reduce pollutants and lower the energy needed to make products. The repurposing of products originally considered waste not only reduces our footprint but also helps our bottom lines. Finally, understanding the commitments we have to customers to create products that improve both their lives and the world around them allows us to discuss the aspects of sustainability that reach beyond the products we create.

ovation of Open Inn The Futuraneincre since asingly hot topic

H

enry Chesbrough popularized the phrase “open innovation” in his 2003 book Open Innovation: The New Imperative for Creating and Profiting from Technology. He described the concept as, “the use of purposive inflows and outflows of knowledge to accelerate internal innovation and expand markets for external use of innovation, respectively.”

Open innovation assumes that firms should use external ideas as well as internal ideas to advance their technology. As boundaries have become more permeable, innovations can easily transfer inward and outward. Companies cannot afford to rely entirely on their own research, but should buy or license processes or inventions from other companies or research universities.

In addition, internal inventions not being used should be taken outside the company through licensing, joint ventures, and spin-offs.

Join us in March as a group of diverse experts illuminate the ways open innovation can stimulate your company’s future. Learn the benefits, challenges, and potential pitfalls when you explore opportunities with other companies through partnerships and licensing and with universities through their technology transfer systems. Anyone with a concern for the central role innovation plays in commercial success in the 21st century cannot afford to miss this exciting event.

razil, Russia, India, and China are collectively referred to as the BRIC countries, and are among the fastest growing developing markets in the world. These countries are collectively, and Brazil individually, culturally diverse and major consumers of personal care products and fragrances.

Brexit has been an earthquake that has set the entire European continent rolling in terms of currency fluctuations, intercountry relationships, and many other facets, too numerous to mention. It will affect how markets interact and develop enormously over the years. As more companies are embracing globalization to reach new customers in new markets, a greater understanding of culture, consumer preferences, important product types, and regulatory issues in these vast and growing markets is essential.

he New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists 38th Annual Suppliers’ Day event had a successful debut at its new location, Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City on May 2-3, 2017. The 8,752 attendees came from 27 countries around the world, making the 2017 Suppliers’ Day the largest event to date.

“With the support of the NYSCC Board and the Show Committee’s hard work, this year’s Suppliers’ Day in New York was North America’s number one global event for the cosmetics and personal care industries,” said Marie Thadal, Chair of the NYSCC, further stating, “Creating this strong foothold in New York has given the NYSCC tremendous momentum to continue its mission of advancing cosmetic science.”

The New York location and the Javits Center as a venue were praised by many exhibitors. “NYSCC Suppliers’ Day was one of the best shows for Lubrizol. We were able to make a strong impact with our new products and booth, and it was crowded the entire time,” said Nicholas Galioto, Trade Show Manager, Lubrizol.

In addition to an exhibitor floor that featured 435 exhibiting companies, a French Pavilion, and Innovations Alley, Suppliers’ Day also boasted new educational programs and special events. The event kicked off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony that included performers from the Broadway musical War Paint, Angel Reda and Erik Liberman, as well as past NYSCC presidents.

The Future Chemists Workshops hosted 48 students from 11 universities, including Rutgers University, Seton Hall University, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Kean University, Long Island University, and Rowan University, who competed in mini-challenges for the best formulation.

Discover Sustainability highlighted the strides that are being made to becoming a more “green” industry.

This one-day program featured short, educational sessions highlighting sustainability on a global scale.

The Digital Age of Beauty, was a two-day educational forum, provided timely information and demonstrations on key strategies and technologies that are driving new product development and speed to market.

The NYSCC Awards Night Party took place on Tuesday, May 2nd at Stage 48 and Expanscience received an award for Passioline, a distinct raw material that was recently launched. The focus and celebration of “green” supports the sustainability efforts of the NYSCC.

he rapid rise of digital technology in the 21st century has changed the world of cosmetics and beauty, uncovering new tools, new connections, and interactions through social media. It has increased the convergence of industries and continues to build on the desire for an integrative aesthetic experience by the consumer.

The beauty industry is reacting quickly—Sephora has been hanging ‘magic mirrors’ on their walls and L’Oréal can be a quick search on Snapchat these days—though this is just the beginning of a paradigm shift.

A new consumer is on the rise, driving these changes—the millennial, a group that has grown up in the digital age, swayed by these innovations, interactions, and personalized experiences. Thus, embracing digital beauty and embodying these innovations is the key to the millennial market.

Companies have strived to do so by taking advantage of digital technology, experimenting with concepts like skin analysis, magic mirrors, and try-on tech to creating new color combinations, unique scents, and sensorial experiences. This breakthrough has led to the prevalence of web and mobile applications, kiosks, and novel physical retail spaces. Behind the scenes, scientists are conducting extensive research to push the boundaries of cosmetic science, resulting in the recent development of UV-measuring skin patches, and even Hewlett Packard contributing their knowledge of pigment science within the color cosmetics category, to ultimately satisfy the modern day consumer.

Latest observations entail the evolution of consumers’ desire to purchase an ‘experience’, not just a product. But what does that mean? Industry leaders have interpreted that the ‘experience’ sought by digital age millennials can be provided by the current integrative convergence of industries that appeal to them, such as beauty, fashion, art, and technology. ____________________________________________________________

#BeyondTheBrief Event Chair – Eileen Kim Eileen started her career in the cosmetic industry over 20 years ago after graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Seton Hall University, the university where her father taught as a physics professor for more than 40 years. At that time, she had one goal in mind, which was to shape her career path around her love for learning and passion for the beauty industry. Since then she has been fortunate to work for two amazing companies for most of her career.

In her current position as a Principal Research Scientist, she represents the United States as part of a global team that develops makeup innovations for Chanel worldwide. She recently also took on the responsibility as the leader for the global lip innovation category for Chanel. Prior to Chanel, she spent 13 years in various research positions at L’Oréal, in the U.S. and France. In these roles, she gained strong technical expertise in the development of color cosmetics, and skincare products for brands such as Lancôme, Maybelline, L’Oréal, Ralph Lauren, Garnier, and Kiehl’s. She spent two and a half years working in the L’Oréal Research and Development headquarters in Paris and at this time also studied French at the Sorbonne.

Eileen holds a Master’s of Cosmetics & Fragrance Marketing and Management from Fashion Institute of Technology. She has a license in Cosmetology in the state of New Jersey and has studied makeup artistry at the Makeup Designory School (MUD) in New York City. Eileen has just recently obtained her esthetics license and is now a New York State Board Esthetician.

The #BeyondTheBrief experience has been an opportunity for Eileen to appreciate the community that has been shaped by the NYSCC, see the new talent in our future, and most of all learn the importance of an amazing team. n Lara Ahad n Sophia Chen n Ingrid Chirico n Andrea Gafford n Yana Melnikova

Textured hair is hair prevalent Balance Heat and Hair: Finding the Health Hair and s Need Style een Betw that is naturally wavy, curly, or coily rather than straight. The degree of hair curvature, or curl, is perhaps one of the most variable D hair characteristics with up to eight different classes. Over half of the world’s population has textured hair, and consumers are interested in addressing their hair care needs based on their hair texture, or curl pattern and style goal, as opposed to their ethnicity.

Additionally, there has been a shift in preference as women are becoming more accepting of their natural hair texture and less interested in chemical treatments that alter it. Textured hair types have received increasing attention in recent times with more companies and stores delivering product lines, campaigns, and experiences dedicated to wavy, curly, and coily-haired consumers. It is really all about the curls these days!

This program features a diverse lineup of scientists, entrepreneurs, media influencers, and a stylist who will educate the audience on the characteristics of textured hair types and the habits and practices of consumers with textured hair, some of the key drivers of the growth of this segment, and recent advancements in the study of textured hair. Attendees will gain insight into this growing category and could win dinner cruise tickets, museum tickets, books by the speakers, and hair products! www.nyscc.org

Newly Incorporated Programs at the NYSCC

Scientific and Academic Affairs Committee

I

n 2017, the NYSCC introduced the Scientific and Academic Affairs Committee. The scientific committee is charged with developing content for communication on cosmetic science, innovation, supply chain, product and ingredient development, and other relevant topics for our industry using communication platforms such as its website (blog), the official newsletter of the NYSCC (Cosmetiscope) and social media channels (such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.). It will also use public newspapers, blogs, and magazines as communication tools in order to reach consumers and the general public, outside our industry, with the goal to divulge scientifically proven information and reduce misinformation on cosmetics and cosmetic science. ____________________________________________________________
