Ageing skin: more than just wrinkles
Mention ageing skin and most people will think first of wrinkles, especially in the US and Western Europe. However, in Asia and in China in particular, DSM found that early signs of ageing tend to have enlarged pores and duller, more uneven skin tone. Anti-ageing products designed to combat fine lines and wrinkles cannot be expected to positively impact even one of these concerns. Enlarged pores in mature skin tend to develop after the age of 30. This is related to biological ageing and the accumulation of damage from UV rays. Both these factors weaken the skin’s natural collagen, leading to sagging skin and larger-looking facial pores. Age spots appearing on

more exposed areas of the body, such as the face, hands and décolleté, are another common complaint as skin ages. These are caused by long-term exposure to sunshine which increases melanocyte activity in the skin causing an irregular amount of melanin to
EDITOR’S COMMENT Engaging the consumers’ senses
This issue of Personal Care brings together a range of articles on both Fragrances and Textures. These two areas focus on different ends of the sensorial spectrum, but work together to provide substance to the marketing message behind the product. Texture is much more important than just providing an elegant feel to a
product. In fact, in the world of sun care (also a feature in this issue), the texture of products is perhaps seen as the key way of ensuring that people remain well protected. If it is easy and pleasant to apply, people are more likely to properly cover themselves and keep applying it regularly. Of course, also, texture can add a playfulness and fun factor to personal care products which is becoming an important way for companies to differentiate themselves and stand out from the crowd. Fragrance, on the other hand, engages a whole range of other sensations: nostalgia, freshness, sweetness, etc. The effects are so powerful and instantaneous, no other aspect of personal care can match the sensory impact that a well-chosen fragrance can have. And as we see in this issue of Personal Care, fragrances can offer many other qualities to formulations too.

be produced. DSM’s latest skin active, Beauactive, addresses both these concerns and has the added advantage of strong green credentials. This highly pure, potent hydroxystearic acid is produced by the
bioconversion of sunflower- derived oleic acid using a process developed by DSM. Importantly, Beauactive is
approved for sale in China, where enlarged pores and pigmentation are prime skin- ageing concerns. In vivo studies have
confirmed the outstanding efficacy of Beauactive which results in a visible reduction of conspicuous facial pores and age spots, giving skin a younger, improved appearance after the age of 30.
