Quadpack launches a new 3 Mesh Foamer

T

he 3 Mesh Foamer from Quadpack Group uses Apollo’s patented technology, designed with different meshes, to produce a greater volume of rich, luxurious foam that spreads easily onto the skin.

The new high-tech pump empowers the user to transform liquid formulas at a single press.

The foamer has been constructed with three fine meshes. The liquid formula is forced through each of these in order to obtain smaller bubbles.

“The resulting foam is therefore velvety soft rather than soapy, as well as more voluminous. In addition, the richness of the foam

26 | Cosmoprof Asia HK 2015 | Beauty & Fashion World

lasts longer before turning back to liquid,” claims the comany As with all Apollo pumps, all metal parts are removed from the product path, for greater formula integrity.

“The 3 Mesh Foamer is ideal for liquid and semi-liquid formulas that need a finer, richer foam quality than that offered by ordinary foamers.

These might include facial cleansers, self-tanning foam or high-end hair mousse.” Available with 150ml and 200ml bottles in HDPE or PET, the foamer can be decorated using colour-matching, silk-screening, hotstamping or metallisation. Aluminium collars or matt mould caps can also be added to produce a pack that is both attractive and high performance.

on’t go on a diet . . . successful slimming is more likely to be achieved by subtle changes in your eating habits and lifestyle. Changes that you can live with and come to enjoy.

Eat slowly and you’ll eat less . . . put your knife and fork down between mouthfuls, sip water with your meals and take smaller bites. It takes a while for your body to recognise that it’s had enough food - the slower you can eat, the less you’ll want. Don’t feel like you have to ‘clean your plate’ especially when you’re eating restaurant-sized portions.

Top 10 Slimming Tips

Don’t ban any foods . . . from your slimming plan – especially things you like. Enjoy a small portion from time to time. Banning foods is a sure-fire way to make you crave them.

Visualise how you’re going to look . . . when you reach your slimming goal. What will you be doing? How will you feel? What clothes will be in your wardrobe?

Never give up . . . on a goal because of the time it’s going to take to get there – the time will pass anyway.

Keep a food diary . . . preferably calorie counted. It will enable you to identify which foods/drinks you need to have a bit less of; times/circumstances when you’re likely to over-eat, and whether you’re getting a varied diet with enough fruit and veg.

Don’t go shopping . . . when you’re hungry – if you buy it, you’ll most likely end up eating it.

Most of us hate throwing food away.

Be nice to yourself . . . if you have a bad day, don’t beat yourself up. Congratulate yourself on how many good days you’ve had and realise that one bad day isn’t going to spoil it all.

Get some exercise . . .successful slimmers tend to make exercise part of their plan. It doesn’t have to be hard – even 20-30 minutes of fairly brisk walking a day will pay dividends.

Add two weekly sessions of resistance training (which helps you burn more calories even whilst you're asleep) and you’ll be looking great that much quicker. Every little helps – look for opportunities to be more active in your daily life.

Reward yourself . . . give yourself a treat for each pound and stone you lose. New clothes make a great incentive when you’re slimming – you could put £x per pound lost into a secret stash!

healthy hairs?

YOU HAVE??

H

air is probably a woman's most important feature.

Signs of thinning hair can take the sail out of almost any woman's day.

It may seem vain to pay so much attention to hair, but signs of thinning hair are really the first signals of such conditions as hormonal imbalance, vitamin deficiency, excessive stress or poor nutrition, all symptoms of declining health status.

Paying attention to hair can reveal developing conditions before they get out of control. When you have restored your hair to a full head of vibrant healthy strands, chances are the rest of your body will also exhibit vibrant health.

Nutritional deficiencies may be signaled by thinning hair Your hair loss may be caused by vitamin D deficiency. Studies show that a large segment of the American population is deficient in this essential nutrient, with hair loss being one of the primary symptoms of this deficiency. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in numerous cells and tissues of the body, including the skin. Studies of mice and humans lacking these functional receptors have demonstrated that absence of the VDR leads to the development of alopecia, a fancy word for hair loss.

Hair loss may be an early warning that you are at risk of other maladies linked to a deficiency of vitamin D. The list includes diabetes, high

blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, depression, multiple sclerosis, gum disease, seasonal influenza and tuberculosis.

Lack of exposure to the sun almost guarantees vitamin D deficiency.

Researchers have mapped the U.S. and found that the farther north a person lives, the more likely she is to have vitamin D deficiency. If access to the sun is not an option, supplementing vitamin D with cod liver oil, or capsules of D3 will help.

It is now suggested that women receive a minimum of 2,000 units of vitamin D per day. Many cutting edge practioners advocate 10,000 units per day, the amount obtained from a day wearing a bathing suit in the summer sun.

Omega 3 fatty acids affect the

biological process of vitamin D. They are responsible for producing cholesterol and at the same time for removing its excess, as well as for most other bodily functions. In order to manufacture vitamin D, the body needs cholesterol.

If the diet does not contain enough essential fatty acids, the body can't produce its own vitamin D. In addition to containing usable vitamin D, cod liver oil also provides omega 3 fatty acids.

Hair loss may also be the result of deficiencies of the amino acid lysine, copper, and zinc. However, if your diet is comprised of a wide selection of whole foods including daily servings of fresh vegetables and fruits, this may not be the cause continued on p.34

32 | Cosmoprof Asia HK 2015 | Beauty & Fashion World

of your hair loss, especially if you are getting enough protein. Hair stands are composed of protein, but if the diet is short on it, the wisdom of the body will divert its use from making hair to sustaining more necessary bodily functions. Taking a whole food supplement such as bee pollen, spirulina or chlorella will help with getting and assimilating needed amounts of the full spectrum of nutrients.

Thinning hair may reflect hormonal imbalance A woman's hormones can begin to decline and lose balance as early as the 30's. One of the most shocking examples of this imbalance is hair growth appearing on the upper lip or chin, or a coarsening of hair on the rest of the body while the hair on the head thins.

This is most likely the result of excessive dihydrotestosterone (DHT) conversion. Although estrogen is the primary hormone of women, they also produce testosterone and other androgens such as DHEA. As the body ages women may begin to convert these androgens to DHT just as men do.

Women with a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome tend to have higher levels of testosterone and DHT than other women, and may be more susceptible to this excessive conversion. To find out if hormonal imbalance is causing hair loss, full range hormone testing can be done. Physicians who administer bio-identical hormones can provide this testing, as well as physicians who specialize in anti-aging medicine. If this is not an option, there are reliable laboratories available online that receive specimens of saliva by mail and provide complete hormone testing results.

Supplements of saw palmetto prevent the excessive conversion of androgens to DHT. It is an herb that comes from the flowers of a

beautiful palm tree known as saw palmetto or sabal palm.

A dosage of one 160 mg. capsule daily should effectively block this conversion and get the hair back on head and off the face. Saw palmetto has been demonstrated to be safe for prolonged use. If hormone testing is not an option, another way to find out if excessive DHT conversion is causing hair loss is to take a saw palmetto supplement for a period of three months. If hair loss stops where you don't want it and starts where you do want it, your question will be answered.

Excessive levels of hormonal conversion to DHT are highly associated with prostate abnormalities in men and may be a cause of prostate cancer. Saw palmetto has been documented to increase prostate health. The health effects of this conversion in women are not yet fully documented, yet common sense suggests that reducing excessive levels of DHT in women may be helpful in assuring breast and ovarian health.

Declining levels of thyroid hormone can also spark hair loss. It's estimated that forty percent of American women are suffering from significant hair loss related to low thyroid hormones, with redheads particularly at risk. The hormones produced by the thyroid are responsible for metabolism, the sum of all the physical and chemical processes. The thyroid hormones control the efficiency and speed at which cells work. Every cell in the body including the hair depends on proper thyroid function for development. If thyroid production is insufficient, hair growth will slow and hair will eventually thin.

Other symptoms of declining thyroid function are dry skin, sensitivity to hot and cold, unexplained weight gain, missing outer third of eyebrows, constipation, brittle nails, high or low

blood pressure, susceptibility to infections, muscle weakness, osteoporosis, joint or muscle pain, cystic breasts or ovaries, chronic sinusitis, slow heart rate, TMJ syndrome, dental problems, headache, and increased cholesterol levels. This list reveals how critical proper thyroid function is to well being.

The good new is that low thyroid can easily be corrected by supplementing the body with bio-identical thyroid hormones. Armour thyroid is the natural form of thyroid hormone.

Too much stress can cause hair to thin Hair loss may be the first indication that your stress level is taking a toll on your body. Stress is nothing less than epidemic today, and this high level can actually cause hair loss along with many more serious health problems.

Excessive physical or emotional stress associated with illness, injury, and trauma may cause the hair to stop growing and enter a period of dormancy which is followed two or three months later by the hair falling out. When physical or emotional equilibrium is regained, hair will again begin to grow, usually about 6 to 9 months later.

Hong Kong is the world’s 8th largest trading economy and the benefits for UK beauty & cosmetic companies exhibiting at Cosmoprof Asia include it’s geographical location as the ‘gateway’ to the Asia Pacific region and offering a springboard into the Chinese market.

Cosmoprof Asia has proved highly successful for numerous UK companies who return again and again to the premier beauty exhibition in Asia.

Birmingham Chamber of Commerce

Cosmoprof Asia has a comprehensive product selection and is the most international trade show in the region for the beauty industry. I have been supporting the efforts of the organisers in promoting this show for many years and have seen many U.S. exhibitors’ return to the show yearly having benefitted from growing international sales through exhibiting. They are able to identify new distributors and customers at the show, not just from Asia but also from other markets around the world.

Die hochfeste, feinkörnige Titan-Nitrit-Beschichtung der ergonomisch geformten, rostfreien Edelstahl-Schere sorgt nicht nur für einen ansprechenden optischen Effekt, sondern auch für eine sehr hohe Verschleißfestigkeit! Die Oberfläche der beschichteten Scherenhälfte ist etwa doppelt so hart wie die der nicht beschichteten. Dadurch ist die beschichtete Hälfte deutlich widerstandsfähiger und richtet bei jeder Schneidbewegung den Schneidgrad der weicheren Hälfte wieder auf.

The high-strength titanium nitrite coating of the ergonomically shaped stainless steel scissors isn’t just an optical highlight but also means outstanding resistance to wear. The coated surface is nearly as double as hard as the uncoated surface, clearly making it more resistant. When cutting the uncoated cutting edge is righted.

Edle Optik mit Selbstschärfe-Effekt

Während die gleiche Schere ohne Beschichtung nach ca. 50.000 Schnitten absolut verschlissen ist, schneidet die speziell beschichtete Schere auch nach weit über 100.000 Schnitten immer noch ohne den geringsten Qualitätsverlust.

sia is a growing economic powerhouse with its consumers having rising spending clout. Indeed, the region already comprises almost 30% of global cosmetic sales. Yet, the natural & organic cosmetics market remains tiny – accounting for less than 6% of international sales.

More importantly, what are the obstacles to market growth and

how can they be overcome? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in Organic Monitor’s seminar at Cosmoprof Asia.

A major obstacle in Asia is greenwashing, with many cosmetic brands making false natural & organic claims.

In Europe and North America, many brands differentiate their products from falsely labelled ones by adopting standards. In Asia, adoption rates are very low. A recent study by Organic Monitor on the Asian Market for Natural & Organic Cosmetics showed that less than 10% of Asian natural & organic cosmetic brands had adopted

standards. Green symbols and logos are most evident on Western products in Asia.

Distribution is another big hurdle.

Natural & organic cosmetic brands cannot use the same distribution outlets as they do in North America and Europe. Most are successful in natural food shops and organic food retailers, however few such chains exist in Asia; those that do specialise in food products.

In spite of the various challenges, Organic Monitor is optimistic about future growth.

French Cosmetic Focus at Cosmoprof Asia 2015 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF ASIA'S LARGEST BEAUTY TRADE SHOW TO HOST 108 FRENCH EXHIBITORS AND INAUGURATE THE FRENCH COSMETIC AWARDS

M

ore than 2,300 international exhibitors will enliven Cosmoprof Asia 2015, Asia's largest international beauty industry fair to be held from 11 to 13 November at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The event covers all sectors of the beauty industry including cosmetics and personal care, nail, hair, natural health, skincare, spa and packaging. Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the exhibition will host 22 groups and national pavilions, including: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, California, Canada, mainland China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the USA. In particular, Cosmoprof Asia 2015's French focus is noteworthy with the participation of 108 exhibitors (39 are first time exhibitors) from France and the launch of the French Cosmetic Awards.

Through its 20 year history, Cosmoprof Asia has bridged French companies and international buyers.

The 10 Biggest Swimsuit Don’ts 1) DON’T do the walking-advertisement bikini thing.

Not only does this lady look likes she’s on the job for Corona, she’ll inevitably be forced to defend herself against Jersey Shore lookalikes who might mistake her for their favorite beverage. MTV addicts, attempt this swimsuit look at your own risk!

your skin soft and supple—and wrinkle-free!—you must, must, must slather on the sunscreen. You don’t want to risk melanoma—or having to uncomfortably shift in your seat 42 times during dinner later that evening. Read More http://www.glamour.com/fashion/2011/04/the-10biggest-swimsuit-donts#ixzz1JLEXmvGu

2) DON’T wear a swimsuit with a zillion and one straps.

Sure, we’ve all been tempted by the sexy, strap-ilicious one-piece swimsuit, but be forewarned: A bathing suit like this one is going to leave you with a maze of trippy tan lines. Try matching those with your cutest summer dresses.

7) DON’T bring your super-high dancing shoes to the beach.

3) DON’T go for a cover-up that doesn’t, you know, cover you up.

Less isn’t always more. These two lovely ladies have proved that theory multiple times over. When thinking of what to wear over your swimsuit, keep in mind the dress code of the nearest restaurant— chances are, if you’re spending a day in the sun, you’ll get the munchies round high noon. (Hint: These two getups most definitely won’t fit in with the universal “No Shirt No Shoes No Service” rule.)

4) DON’T adjust your bathing suit in public (unless you can keep it on the DL).

Straps get untied while tanning, bikini bottoms are woefully underprepared for water sports, and the ocean is a nasty monster when it comes to keeping the girls in place—we get it. At the risk of sounding like your grandma (or some Emily Post lifeguard), might we suggest popping into the bathroom if you’re having a serious swimsuit wardrobe malfunction—as X-rated contortions are rarely flattering.

Honestly, I am not so sure about this one. Sorry but if I am coming out of the water and my Bandeau top is around my waist, I am going to do what I need to get it in place as fast as I can. Same goes with my bottom. The idea of strutting across the beach, walk into a bathroom then make an adjustment will most likely get me arrested for flashing or public nudity. Don’t think so!

DON’T wear a swimsuit that could double as lure-him-in lingerie.

Some looks are best kept inside the bedroom. While your boyfriend might be appreciative, leave a little to the imagination by keeping the lingerie back at the hotel.

Vegas anyone? Hey I’d wear one of these lace bikinis in a heartbeat sitting at the Bellagio pool. I think it depends on the location, situation, and mood I’m in, don’t you?

6) DON’T forget the sunscreen. Really. It’s not worth it.

Ouch! Yes, we’ve all been burnt before, but if you want to keep

In a word: impractical. Music-video vixens make it look easy, but there’s no way you can walk on the beach in those high heels. If it’s glitz and glamour you crave, just bedazzle your flips-flops to keep things comfy, chic and sane.

Come on, ever been to South Beach? Platform High Heals are an accentual part of your Bikini wardrobe walking the Boardwalk. No, not my style and wonder who ever came up with it, why and what were they thinking but, South Beach wouldn’t be the same without it! It’s a girls opportunity to show it off like walking the Red Carpet. What else would you wear sandals or Flip Flops?

8) DON’T do an itty-bitty bikini bottom on a public beach.

As a rule of thumb, the bottom of your bikini should be thicker than the straps holding it together up top. Regardless of your shape or size, an X-rated swimsuit like this is simply a no-no. (While we’re at it, can we ban Speedos for men, too?)

9) DON’T dress up for Halloween, three months early.

Tutu-accented skirts, Betty Boop-esque getups and other costumes are best left in the closet until October rolls around. ‘Nuff said.

10) DON’T buy a too-small swimsuit top.

We know better than anyone how frustrating it is to find the perfect swimsuit (have you seen our swimsuit style stories?!), so trust us when we say a little extra time in the dressing room or cruising around online is totally worth it. Look for a mix ‘n’ match bikini where you can buy the top and bottom in different sizes—so you can get something that fits and flatters your cute figure to a T. (And if you’re on the fence about a style, maybe even bounce up and down a bit to guarantee a flash-free fit, before you take your suit out for a spin.)
