NEWS DIGEST Rejuvenating sleep-starved skin
Sleep is a simple secret of beautiful skin, but our hectic lives often rule our rest routine. The lack of sleep creates stressful conditions that raise the level of internal toxins, one of which is glycotoxin. Glycotoxins deregulate the skin’s natural systems responsible for the repair and protection processes that occur during sleep; consequently, this deregulation contributes to impaired cell function, tissue disruption, damaged microvessels, etc. With Prodizia, Sederma provides a solution
that promotes a visible reduction in the cutaneous signs of fatigue: dark circles, under eye bags, dull complexion and drawn features. By supporting specific detoxifying systems

helps regulate melatonin levels of glycation- stressed skin cells, ensuring an optimal repair process during sleep. This, along with its ability to help fight against glycation during the day and repair proteic structures damaged by glycation during the night, makes it perfect for a 24-hour treatment. An in vivo two-month study clearly
(glyoxalase and proteasome), Prodizia can both protect and repair the proteic structures damaged by glycation. Furthermore, Prodizia
Wood extract range
Symrise has established a new branch within its Botanicals range –Actipone Woods. It comprises extracts from ash wood, honey locust wood, sweet cherry tree wood and walnut tree wood. Cosmetic products such as face creams, after-shave balms and shampoos benefit from their anti-ageing and smoothing properties. Many people treasure wood for its aesthetic
qualities. Beyond this, it also provides an amazing source of healthy constituents for beauty. Some woods contain anti-oxidant ingredients, such as tannins, flavonoids and phenolic acids. These can help to bind free radicals in our cells and thus show smoothing and anti-ageing properties. That makes them very beneficial for cosmetic products, since among other things they counteract the premature ageing of the skin. Symrise now uses these properties for a new branch of its botanical extracts – Actipone
Woods. The series offers ingredients from ash, honey locust, sweet cherry and walnut. The latter also helps protect hair colorations. To prove their activity, all these ingredients have been in vitro-tested. Beyond this, they are easy to use in cosmetic formulations, soluble in water and compatible with usual cosmetic raw materials. This makes them interesting for cosmetic products such as creams, after-shave balms and shampoos. To discover the power of woods the new
collection presents various concepts matching each type of wood. Candy Wood uses the nourishing, rich, caring and luscious characteristics from honey locust. Holy Wood, alias ash, highlights skin force, tonic and strong bark. Fairy Wood conveys radiant beauty based on the attributes of sweet cherry. And Caring Wood is supposed to restore, protect, care and regenerate the skin with walnut.
New training seminars
FormulaCare is continuing to offer a new way of delivering training to formulators. Three training sessions have been held to date. These theoretical training sessions are in the format of ‘webinars’. The first webinar held on 6 December 2011
was entitled ‘Reducing Age Spots’ and was presented by John Staton. It also included training on understanding how to test the efficacy of marketing claims. The second webinar was held on the
13 December 2011 and was entitled ‘Formulating for Maximum Efficacy’. The presenter was Rick Williams and covered topics such as how to deliver actives for skin whitening and how to optimise the formulation. A two-part article version of
the webinar starts in this issue of Personal Care. The third session was held on 14 February
by Professor Dr Karl Lintner and was called ‘Age spots: causes and cosmetic treatments’. Training sessions will take place every six weeks
and is free to anyone who wishes to register and follow the training on his or her computer. An added bonus to formulators in India is that
during HPCi in Mumbai on 16 March, FormulaCare will be running practical workshops for webinar attendees (see
www.formulacare.com). For attendees from Asia, FormulaCare will
run laboratory practical sessions in October. These will be held as a final summary of the series of theoretical training throughout South East Asia.
Consumer-relevant innovation award
presented Dow Home & Personal Care received the ‘Best Innovation Contributor 2011’ award from Henkel Laundry & Home Care at the 2012 American Cleaning Institute (ACI) Annual Meeting and Industry Convention in Orlando, Florida. Every year Henkel recognises an external
partner for delivery of outstanding, consumer- relevant innovation. This year Dow received Henkel’s award for its innovation in personal care technologies. In presenting this award, Thomas Förster,
corporate vice president R&D cosmetics at Henkel, commented how strong business partners play a decisive role for Henkel in developing innovative products. “The Dow Chemical Company has made
excellent contributions to the launch of two successful innovations in our hairstyling product category in 2011,” said Förster. “Due to the development of a shine polymer for Henkel’s shine hairspray lines and a styling polymer technology for highest hold levels, we are able to meet the consumers’ needs even better and to set new standards in the market.”

demonstrated that the volunteers themselves noted a significant reduction in the visibly tired look of their face after just 10 days of applying a cream containing Prodizia; and by the end of the study there was an overall 44% reduction. Thanks to Prodizia, the skin looks
